Q: What’s brass and sounds like Tom Jones? 🤔 A: Trombones. 😂🎶

My hotel room number tonight is 404. Had to resist going back down to reception and saying i couldn't find it.

Photo taken by Michael Collins in 1969. Inside the lunar module are Armstrong and Aldrin. In the distance is Earth carrying the rest of all human beings. So all of mankind is in this picture except for Michael Collins.

The Israeli defense minister is openly threatening the life of GretaThunberg and other unarmed peace activists on an aid ship. Where the f**k are the world’s leaders? The world’s media?

After appreciating the Devil, they have spoiled Little Mari by taking her for a spin in the famous ‘handbasket’ (wheelbarrow) that inspired the phrase To Hell in a Handbasket’

Another cyclical history moment that popped up as I was doing some research. The cognitive dissonance makes me dizzy every time it hits me again.

There's a shop in Brecon called Gibb Outdoors. It deals in tents, sleeping bags, camping accessories, hiking boots, waterproof clothes, maps ... You know the sort of thing. If my surname were Gibb and I'd opened a shop along those lines, I'd be stupid not to call it 'Stayin' Alive'.

Just want to add my voice to the increasing wave of disquiet that any uninteresting change in one minority extremist party 'reform' gets headline coverage by BBC news who don't even have an account on here because they think it might be 'too left leaning.' For pities sake. I'll post this on Threads

Off to Brecon with a pal to watch the Gurkha Parade this afternoon. Wish us luck, as the weather could go either way.

Early-Middle Bronze Age tree stumps exposed in intertidal peats on the beach today between Borth & Ynyslas, #Ceredigion, drowned following changes in later prehistoric sea levels The trees in the waves gave rise to the legend of the drowned land of Cantre Gwaelod 🌊 📷 My own, this afternoon

I am old enough to remember the arrival of the truly global and astonishingly useful worldwide web. I really did not expect to witness its death, poisoned by carelessness and greed.

Oooh, you mean it's OK to leave, realise it's a mistake, then rejoin? 😉

Do any of the authors dealing with the Unbound/Boundless situation have any horror short stories (<6000 words) in their catalogue anywhere, whether directly linked to Unbound or not? If so, please get in touch! Please share! 🦑

Fixed it for you @washingtonpost.com @ignatiuspost

I'm heading over to Brecon Library for a talk on Welsh place names. These monthly sessions feature some interesting topics.

I’m fascinated by how awful this AI “book” on BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN is. The heteros on the front with weirdly smooshed faces—the gloopy hands—so fascinated that I initially missed the fact that it’s about Brokeback “Mouintain”.

Peter Gabriel is named for someone who denied Jesus and someone who heralded him. Both of whom did their most notable work long after Genesis.

The activist who helped expose Britain's ‘spy cop’ scandal discusses her new book on state-sanctioned betrayal, and why she thinks politicised policing still continues today

Maesteg, Wales - 'Yma/Here' (42) An ambiguous and extensive examination of the urban topography of South Wales and the West of England from 2016 to 2018. If you'd like a copy of 'Yma/Here' there are 3 copies currently in stock here (£17.99 delivered UK) - www.workersgallery.co.uk/product-page...

one of the things keeping me in london for as long as financially viable is public transport fucking sucks pretty much everywhere else in the county. scandalous

#OtD 7 Jun 2020 Black Lives Matter protesters in Bristol, UK, pulled down a statue of enslaver Edward Colston and threw it into Bristol Harbour. Colston's Royal African Company transported more than 100,000 enslaved Africans in the 17th century stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1072...

Being a dog and having a human flop your ear back to normal after you got it turned inside out, must feel amazing

"The current situation represents the worst of both worlds: it gives the illusion of Wales having a voice when it comes with a pre-installed mute button.” No mandate, no influence, no money, no point. @willhaycardiff.bsky.social causing a global shortage of 👏 emojis with this article. #Wales #Cymru

Your window on to the strange and disturbing world of the GOP: 76% view Musk favourably 80% view Vance favourably 87% view Trump favourably It’s not the people at the top, it’s the entire party.

Look at this hard left bunch of radicals criticising Israel. Oh, wait. It's the Financial Times being on the left of our current government.

I can only assume that AI is now in charge of consumer research. I've been invited to rate my last experience with Debenhams. I can't remember if it was before the Plague or before the Bankruptcy.

I'm going to my local grassroots music venue tonight. It'll be only my third visit this year. Most weekends it's a steady parade of tribute acts. If I'm not a fan of the original artists, I certainly won't fork out to see a bunch of (usually unconvincing) impersonators doing Music By Numbers.

Spotted on Discord. Most amusing. 😆

Jazzy Jester will be bringing an exciting variety of bookish goods next Saturday for our Pride Fair! Why not pop in and check out the brilliant range?

In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz. The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.
