Take a few minutes to appreciate Drew Struzan creating the original artwork for THE PHANTOM MENACE. Truly a master at work.

Found out that Spotify is running ICE recruitment ads, if you need another reason to quit using it.

It’s certainly a design choice.

Genuine question, does this count as ‘en-suite’?

Perfect posting from Tim Heidecker, 24 hours apart.

What an incredible experience, getting to perform at the Riyadh Comedy Festival. I left feeling grateful and humbled by his majesty's generosity. I'll never forget this memorial experience and all the fun we had. Hope to do it again soon.

upon further reflection, there is a small part of me that feels I sent the wrong message, regarding the Riyahd Comedy Festival last night. While, I do think it's important for comedy to have the opportunity to thrive in all parts of the globe, there are some aspects of The Royal Highness, King Salmon and his leadership in the region that i don't agree with entirely, but it's a different culture when it comes to freedom and rights and I gotta respect that we are all different and have different values. My manager is now investigating the possibility of donating some of my fee to a charity for Vetrans of War.

Lost Prophets appeared in my autoplay on Apple Music the other day. What the fuck!? Anyway, glad the sick fuck is gone.

Idve been a staunch supporter once, but in these times of absolutely no spare income, if a family can spread the cost more now, I’m behind it.

Small thread showing what happens when someone asks me about something I know too much about.

Did you know you can see OS maps of the 1880s to see if all that was fields back then?

(spoiler: in this case it was garden nurseries)

Mags L Halliday @magslhalliday.bsky.social · 4d

In 1880, the square is laid out and the middle is a nursery: that was very common in St Thomas as the low lying land was very fertile.

Screenshot showing an 1880s OS map of Exeter's Prince's Square. The square is laid out with streets but the central part is labelled nursery.

Oh that map looks amazing, is it an available online resource ?

Mark Cole @coleybbq.bsky.social · 4d

There really are some wonderful buildings around there. There was obviously wealth there, which made me think it was probably a garden square which was built on after the war ?

Mark Cole @coleybbq.bsky.social · 4d

@magslhalliday.bsky.social Hi Mags, I was wondering if you had any information on Princes Square in st Thomas? I’m working there most days, and I’m drawn to the modern ish houses built in the middle. Were there aways buildings there ( bombed ?) or was it a garden? I’ve tried searching online. Thx
