Ageing: the condition of becoming less serious about all you were once far too serious about and more serious about all that you once undervalued.

I’ve spent this morning morbidly watching the MTV channels close down and the final songs played were:
MTV Music - Video Killed the Radio Star (Buggles)
Club MTV - Don’t Stop the Music (Rihanna)
MTV 90s - Goodbye (Spice Girls)
MTV 80s - Together in Electric Dreams (Oakey and Moroder)

Oh oh oh... I know what this is going to be, it's a beauty I'll tell you that!
I'm hoping to release my latest ultra-comprehensive gold-standard 6502 disassembly in the next few days.
It's been four months in the making and is almost complete.
Elite, Aviator, Revs, Lander… and now this.
Let the countdown begin: 🤖🪨🌲

Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta.
Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.

One of the most incredible shots I've ever gotten, in Yellowstone. This coyote walked over a ridge in the blowing snow and posed for me, with a small grin on its face, the snowfalkes like stars in the background.
The desolation and beauty of life and nature is grounding, and so good for the soul.

Cameron should return to his low budget roots, and remake some of the lower tier 60s horror/sci-fi movies.

James Cameron walks into a boardroom full of movie executives, meanders over to the whiteboard and writes "WHALE" in big block letters. They stare in confusion and wonder.
Then, he adds a symbol to the end. "WHALE$." All the executives start making loud whooping noises and crapping their pants

My Plusnet router died suddenly last night. No power going into it whatsoever. Luckily I had an old second hand BT router which thankfully worked. All our laptops had no sockets to connect it directly, so lugged the old iMac to the hallway to sort it out.
So thankful to have had a backup 🙏

Can anyone have a guess at this irish place name written on the UK 1871 census? Could be a township, a village or a town. Any clues gratefully received :-)
