Has anyone thought about whether this Manny Diaz would be a good fit at Miami? If he can win an ACC title at Duke just imagine what he could do with the resources he‘d have at South Beach!

One of the great pleasures of every December is wading through Said the Gramophone’s annual 100 favourite songs. It never fails to enthrall, amuse, and occasionally perplex me. Give it a listen!

One of the greats. I love Booker T and the MGs and practically every song they played on.
Steve Cropper, the prodigious guitarist, songwriter and producer who played a pivotal role in shaping the lean gutbucket soul music made at Memphis’s Stax Records in the 1960s and ’70s, has died at 84.

And he wrote Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead! Stoppard was one of the greats.

Please don't let the fear of not doing something well stop you from trying it for the first time. Write a messy story. Paint a crappy flower. Whittle the worst wooden bear of all time.

This Arizona v Baylor game turned into blowout quite suddenly. Somewhat related, what does Arizona do when there's no more room for football on their pitchfork?

Yesterday, my bluesky seemed very tame and, well, normal. When I came across an account dedicated to “AI art” I wondered, “What is going on?” Finally, I realized I had inadvertently clicked on the discover tab. So, thanks you beautiful freaks for making my feed so delightfully off kilter!

Everything he says is accurate. A great comic run so far. I’m excited to see where it ends up!
a word to comics people - I have been loving The Power Fantasy by @kierongillen.bsky.social and @casparw.bsky.social - it's very smart and fun and fast paced and issue #13 is a massive payoff that ends with a crazy "uhh now what???" scenario. Get on board if you're not already
