About time to rewatch Uncle Buck, it seems (bearing in mind that John Candy was just thirty-four then).

Meanwhile, stumbled on a SAUDI satirical cartoon series. Back in 2021 its creator got prosecuted for “promoting terrorism and homosexuality” in the show.

All unhappy families are indeed unhappy in the same way.

Meanwhile, Deutsch Nepal (our gods and saviours) have announced a side project with a laid-back vibe and female vocals. Judging by the first two tracks, it’s absolutely stunning.

Full release in a month.

”Dear Lord, stop the war (please)”. A graffiti near ancient Troitse-Lobanovo estate, about 30km outside Moscow

The photo was shot this weekend by a person who is still in Russia

You can see the Trinity church in the background

RIP Bill Fay

I’m ashamed to admit I hadn’t thought about him in a long time.

And, as it always is, the reason to remember inevitably presents itself, one way or another.

On this particular photo he reminds me late poet, songwriter and friend Vassia Borodin, which makes me actually cry.
