If you live in the UK and think the government should act in response to Meta's theft of intellectual property (using published work to train their LLM without appropriate payment) then sign this: www.change.org/p/protect-au...

Listening again to this for #5albums70s5. Still rate it as one of the best records ever. Truly iconic.

#5albums70s5 The second contender from Neil. This is a lovely gentle collection, except for the lumpen Motorcycle Mama (why does he do this?!). Might squeeze in to my 5.

#5albums70s5 Found a copy of this recently in Bristol's Wanted Records. The missing part of Bowie's Berlin Trilogy, with the definitive version of "China Girl". Might just sneak it into my 5.

#5albums70s5 This is one of Bowie's most tonally consistent albums. A clear contender for my 5.

Moee shirtlisting fir #5albums70s5. In "Hello, It's Me" and "I Saw The Light", Todd crafted two perfect songs. This whole album drips gorgeousness. (Richard Linklater should make a movie of it.)

Shortlisting for #5albums70s5 with this Neil album. Pocahontas and Powderfinger are amazing, but Welfare Mothers might spoil its chances of landing in my 5

I don't often post politics here, but that Trump & Vance vs Zelenskyy row was painful to hear. I never have liked bullies and still don't.

Read in February In order of enjoyment: Spufford, Frykholm, Robinson, Toews, but there was not much between the first three. Disappointed by Toews though... #booksky

The oldest child came home today after 55 days in hospital, an eleven hour operation, and three inches more height. When I took him to theatre for the operation, I counted two consultant surgeons, four assistant surgeons, two consultant anaesthetists, an anaesthetic nurse and a couple of others.

I'm trying not to use Amazon unless I really have to; needed to get something for the boy's hospital discharge tomorrow and goodness me the site is slow....
