Last month marked the 30th anniversary of Coldcut’s Journeys by DJ: 70 Minutes of Madness, probably the greatest mix CD ever released. Am listening again and it’s an incredible piece of work and is still astonishingly contemporary 30 years later on.soundcloud.com/ps4Tq5I0Ji2Q...

Dear Bluesky people who like candles,
At this time of year I like to burn a candle that smells of log fires, burning leaves and old libraries.
Can you recommend a candle that's cheaper than Dyptique Feu De Bois (below) but better than those shitty Etsy soy candles that smell of soap.

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair! Would you like me to adjust the tone for you? I could rephrase it to sound more positive? Maybe replace “despair” with “be inspired”?

So, yeah, I performed at the Riyadh Comedy Festival, but I protested by not being funny.
I'd love to know what every comedian who played the Riyadh Comedy Festival thinks of this piece by Jonathan Liew. It's an electrifying read. And really hard to think what any counter-justification from the participating comics would consist of. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
We know what the comedians got out of the Riyadh comedy festival. What about the Saudi regime? | Jonathan Liew
The tawdry event was an ultimately doomed attempt by the Saudi government to buy the kind of authentic grassroots culture it is unwilling to countenance, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Liew

If you are looking for an unusual, tense, and oddly beautiful horror movie this Halloween, I highly recommend A Dark Song, should it have escaped your notice before.

My Mum once found a used one in my bag ...
Years ago, as a youth coming home after a party, I put my used clothes in the laundry basket. Later, in my room, I found the "just in case" condom I had had in my pocket with a note "Found this in the washer. Suggest you bin it as it was on a hot cycle. Love Mum".

Of course, there isn’t really an answer, which is a pity, because it’s not like there’s any shortage of fundamentally dishonest, empty, delusional people in public life today, into whose inner lives we could all use some insight, but I can recommend this book. This thread barely touches the surface
