This is wonderful
I'm looking up old 78rpm recording to sample for ambient music, and just come across this INCREDIBLE version of Abide With Me from the 1927 FA cup final in Cardiff

Truly amazing

I take one tablet daily, the only reminder that I'm living with HIV. It keeps my viral load undetectable, meaning that I can't pass HIV on. I can expect a normal lifespan. One of the greatest challenges is stigma, due to a lack of knowledge. HIV has changed. #WorldAIDSDay

I just don't need to know what the Telegraph has written about Dungeons & Dragons. It's a newspaper for people who are frightened of samosas.

Designed in my brain with movable type, vintage printing plates and linocut, and printed on a tiny press by hand, taking five impressions to print each card. Each has unique details making them one-off.
No AI, just real art made by a real person.

Last chance for shipping next week!

Rightly lots of debates about growth this weekend - rightly because it was low productivity growth that saw wages entirely flatline during the 2010s.

Ok folks, I've got a task I need help with.

I need to know about high money value detector finds found since 2019 (not including tudor heart or Chew Valley hoard) from news reports, social media posts etc.
