I don’t *try* to buy loads of guitars, but when the seller sends an even lower offer on their already keenly priced 1960/1 Hofner President with the serial number 666, it’d be rude not to.

The Beatles didn’t need a roof to be on top. But there they were Jan. 30, 1969 - 57 years ago today - playing without a gimmick atop 3 Savile Row, a venue needing no fabrication, ending a film and adding an iconic image to their legacy. Happy Rooftop Day, everybody! Context now, rewatch notes later🧵

This is f-ing outstanding. Bruce pulling zero punches.
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

I don't think people realise just what a mess these absolute clowns would make. Of the economy, the Budget, diplomacy, industrial relations, trade, the Union, the media - everything. So wildly out of step with mainstream thinking and the median voter they may as well be from Mars.

this is a thing that has happened organically among readers of the book and I feel so blessed to have listeners who engage with what I do in such creative ways. thank you all, I work hard at what I do and you make it deeply worth it
So my favourite thing I learned today is that there's a YouTube book club for This Year, by John Darnielle @themountaingoats.bsky.social ! Visit the song mentioned in the book for that day and people are commenting. I was enjoying the book and songs anyway but this is a fun new dimension.

The most generous explanation for this is that he's an idiot who just hasn't even bothered to look at how vaccines work.
The worst is that he's deliberately spreading misinformation that will put actual lives at risk, in order to please his conspiracy-theory loving base

Farage: "I believe in vaccinations when they're vaccinations. I don't think what happened with Covid were vaccinations. You have to keep having them every 6 months."
Conspiratorial nonsense.
Some vaccinations like Covid shots require multiple/seasonal doses because immunity fades & viruses change.

Bought OTD in 1972: this was a total game changer - a very effective piece of popcult activism and a great listen. It opened up a whole swathe of 60s US pop that Brits had hardly heard and the sleeve notes offered the word Punk as a way out of early 70s stasis: ‘the relentless middle-finger drive’
