I’ve been following economist and former trader Gary Larson for a while. He breaks down why the super rich, such as Musk + rising inequality between the ever richer super rich & the rest of us is a huge issue. One that is only getting worse. Well worth a watch. www.instagram.com/reel/DFAG7l-...

I hate to keep being right about Musk, but as his biographer I sort of have to be. UPDATE: Following sourced reports by PROOF and others, Elon Musk has admitted to cheating ruthlessly in video games for years. And he has expressed _zero_ remorse—which is consistent with his extremely low character.

I can't make all my Patreon posts free, but where new music is concerned, I always make a point of doing so because – especially in the current climate – excellent new releases deserve to find as many ears as they can. Here are my favourites from the week just gone. www.patreon.com/posts/freshl...

A beautiful tribute that speaks volumes to their friendship, their collaborations, and David Lynch's impact.

Clarifies how far from democracy things are moving already in the US. These were people who violently assaulted people on Jan 6 2021. They were rightfully charged and convicted. Trump has released them. Worse, he called them ‘hostages’ and compared them with the hostages held and released by Hamas.

2 books to add to already teetering tbr piles arrived today! Discovered Stephen Graham Jones 4 yrs ago and working my way thru his books. Thought Aickman came to my notice cos @robinince.bsky.social wrote of it in Bibliomaniac but not in his book index so no idea where I heard about him. Was recent.

I’ll end up writing lots over the next 4 years about the new US President. Right now, I just want to take a step back from all the noise and spend time on other interesting stuff, like this fascinating read: www.theguardian.com/news/2025/ja... Still writing cards despite the cost of stamps!

I’m also here for glode or glid instead of glided, and strove instead of strived. We’ve lost many of our strong verbs and these days simply tack on an ‘-ed’ in the past tense (texted? Why not ‘toxt’?). US English retains more of them: there is poetry in ‘dove’, as opposed to ‘dived’.

I love this so much. And, am now pondering whether this means the word for a minuscule icicle could be an ickleiceickle. Just takes enough of us to suggest it and hashtag the bejeesus out of it!…

While I'm doing "-phile" words, here's another one that I assume most people know: ailurophile. Oxford English Dictionary: ailurophile, n.: A person who is fond of or enthusiastic about cats; a cat-lover. Cf. ailurophobe n.

Tis a hard life! We should all be more cat. Eat, drink, sleep, tit around for shiggles, assume others will like you because, well, you’re a cat and therefore perfect just as you are. (Exercise taken - moving from bed to windowsill)
