Right. Let’s just bang on about Brian Wilson. This is what social media is for. Royal Festival Hall, Pet Sounds tour, 2002. He and the Wondermints launched into ‘God Only Knows’. I had a seat at the front of the side stalls. Leaned over the balcony and cried tears into the seats below.

RIP Brian Wilson - so much pleasure and wonder. This is my favourite Beach Boys track with vocals isolated to get its full splendour www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOQQ...

Sorry to hear Brian Wilson has died. The Beach Boys were the soundtrack of my summers, from "Surfin' Safari" on.

I still haven't heard any swifts here in north Leeds. Usually aware of their seemingly joyful swooping and screaming by 22 May (my younger daughter's birthday). Support a simple move to help create nesting places for this summer visitor.

Many have no idea that around 2.6m animals are used in UK laboratories each year and what’s worse? 92%of drugs showing promise in tests fail due to efficacy and safety… there are better and certainly kinder ways. Tell your MP to support #herbieslaw and let’s get better!

After due consideration, having weighed up the relevant evidence, assessed the balance of arguments and gamed the likely implications, I have reached the conclusion that Keir Starmer can fuck off from a great height.

Becky Burke of Book Island (a picture book publisher in the UK founded by my fellow Tokarczuk translator Greet Pauwelijn) was "detained" by ICE at the Canadian border on 2/28. Her father asked that her story be shared in case someone can help her. He writes:

Today is the 20th anniversary of the Hunting Act coming into force, writes Jacqui Burgoyne. But it’s not working. ‘Hunt sabs’ allege loopholes in the law allow cruel hunting to persist. Here’s how they sabotage illegal hunts ⤵️

Since X (Twitter) is run by Nazis now, I think it's a stain on @leedsunited.com to be on the platform. Hopefully fans on @bsky.app can put in a loud enough call that the club moves wholesale to this platform. Reddit subs are already banning X. We all should follow suit. #lufc #leeds

If you're still on Twitter, get off Twitter, seriously. Your very presence there - even a very small shadow presence - is bolstering Elon Musk's credibility and worldview by association. The platform and its owner is now a direct threat to democracy.
