Trump is certifiably, B-Movie Evil Despot, beyond parody, stage an intervention-level, mad. And it's not at all funny.

I was walking downstairs at work, and coming up the stairs was Kate Bush, who smiled and said hello. My mouth/brain simply couldn’t form a coherent sound in reply. I possibly drooled.

A fun thread. For me James Brown in the Point. 45min of his bandleader teasing “the Godfather of soul”, with extended instrumental workouts, and about 3.5 min of actual James Brown

Vance going to meet the pope, the pope -immediately- dying, and the conclave then -immediately- electing a new pope who’s pretty unknown except for tweets about how much he dislikes Vance, is some Shakespearean revenge drama and I am here for it

Clem Burke was so brilliantly musical as a drummer. I can hear and predict each fill on the fade out of Heart of Glass as vividly as the lyrics. RIP #clemburke #blondie

We said goodbye to our gentleman Dad last night. He was kind, funny, smart, charming, mischievous, loving, sweet, generous, principled, smart, dapper, and no one could have wished for a better Dad. I wish everyone could have a Dad like him. No one was ever more loved.

Last year I made a BBC series about what happens when group chats go wrong. A US national guard officer called Jack Teixera posted classified details (Ukraine casualty figures and security assessments) in a group chat. He got 15 years in jail. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...
