Happy May the Fourth to you and all.

Agreed and likewise.
It would be quite the thing to hear one of the White House Press Pool ask him for a view on the nature of divinity given his pontificating (AI) photo post. A forlorn hope, though.

@annabower.bsky.social, @stevepeers.bsky.social did you notice the footnote on page 27 re the amicus briefs submitted for each āsideā. It is absolutely vicious in its deadpan delivery.

Yes, Iāve been through this album a few times now and really enjoyed the Symph in C, Op 11 No 2.
New to me but lovely. š

I do - CPE Bachās Symphony No 1 and Wagenseilās Symphony in G jumped out. If I look carefully at my choices they tend toward Baroque (not to the exclusion of the rest of the canon) so thereās much to enjoy in that transitional period.
As an aside, Haydnās Baryton Trios, I play them a lot š¤·āāļø

Iām really enjoying this playlist - thanks so much for your great work, itās a boon to those of us who enjoy but maybe donāt fully understand classical music š

Imagine if his family now made widescale investments in all those stocks that have dived, waiting for an upturn down the road. Almost like he welcomes the disruption.

Canary traps/typo traps are actually a really effective method to identify leaks in small, closed groups.
It falls apart when you release material with typos into social media and the internet and then try to figure whoās doing what in the millions of transactions/translations.
Absolute muppets.

I wonder who actually generated the artwork; seriously, someone sat down and created that cartoon and probably thought āthatās coolā?

I liked Defector a lot; Spectral Mornings was always going to be a really tough album to follow but there are some fine tracks to be found. Good pairing here.

What might typical sanctions look like if this order is not complied with?
Specifically, what can happen and to whom? And how are any sanctions applied?

Interviewer: āyou are not an imagery analyst so what was it about the photographs that confirmed to you they specifically showed fentanyl labs; also, what was the evidence on the photographs that proved the police were <<leaving them alone>>ā
But interviewers donāt seem to do that.

King Charles didnāt offer a state visit, his government did - need to understand better how the UK constitutional monarchy works.
Also, offering a state visit doesnāt mean it will definitely happen ā¦ global concerns, availability etc.

Yep, just finished playing the album, itās pretty good with some classic JT threads throughout.

Exactly the same for me - I lost any affinity during the Brexit campaign and the fallacy of āequivalenceā in reporting.
Hereās the thing, I listened for 35 years but donāt miss it at all. I consume my current affairs in other ways now and the BBC lost its place. Thatās life.

Well that was an interesting listen and quite fun.
The recording is pretty well-engineered and sounds good, I let it play on decent hifi separates and it wasnāt disappointing at all.

UK pull out of 5EYES?
Get an absolute gripā¦
5EYES is one of the most vital methods to share intelligence and circulate threat data.
I get the general sentiment completely but you need to understand better this specific reality.
Research and think more clearly about this.
