I imagined the Chatsubo in 1984. 41 years later I opened its door. Neuromancer is in production.

Steve Miller Band releases “Jet Airliner” today in 1977.
“At that time,” Miller said, “I was really on a streak of radio hits. We had six top singles one right after another, which is the way you should do it if you're going to do it.” 🎸

You have to hand it to FIFA President Gianni Infantino, he knows exactly how to handle Trump.
The US President responds to shiny objects, and to things that move. Watch Trump transform here, from apathetic boredom, to awe; and how he warms to the idea of keeping the shiny, moving thing.
