Listen friends, I'm being sincere here:
Everyone is welcome to join the physical media fan club. I am so glad the idea of owning entertainment has come back in vogue.
But if record prices keep going up we're going to need to thin the Gen Z horde.
Thank you for your attention in this matter

I'm reading PRIVATE RITES by Julia Armfield but not really feeling the narrative. I remember not finishing Our Wives By The Sea but every now and then I believe in second chances.

Starmer's govt showing the slightest bit of backbone against the US, leave alone denying it the use of UK bases to launch attacks against Iran? Are we through the looking glass? Was Starmer tired of Trump mistaking him for a peon?

Morning will make its own music
You can listen, or ignore
Or drown out with all the machinery
Of C Minor or of bhairav or
Construction site or dawn strike
But the world will eventually
Bury you and morning
Will make its own music.

for the love of god, a war with Iran is not a "distraction." we're talking about horrific mass death at best and a global conflict at worst. it will also be incredibly unpopular, especially if there are significant US casualties,as seems likely if trump gets the kind of war he seems to want.

I finished THOMAS MANN'S OVERCOAT by Istvan Voros, tr. @ottiliemulzet.bsky.social
It's a madhouse of a novel. Feverish dreams that all the early psychoanalysts would have chortled and rubbed their hands with glee over.
I don't quite know what I just read. Need to mull over it a while.
