“Accepting the jumbo jet from Qatar was huge in terms of what it breached. But he loved it. So he took it. Now he says it's going to be part of his presidential library. Meaning, as far as I can tell from Trump's intellectual life, that it will contain one plane and no books.” @mrjamesob.bsky.social

Private Eye offers up an excellently scornful commentary on the relentless polling. It’s become ridiculous and has oversimplified our politics to dangerous levels of stupid and irresponsible.

The YouTube algorithm threw this video at me. It's a stunning cover, but what absolutely makes it is the helmeted, flippered kid in the background. Pure enchanting joy all round.

Make Me a Channel of Your Peace

A prayer hymn we heard (and had to sing… poorly) in catholic school many times. But we sure didn’t sound as pure and pristine as this. 😇

Day 15.

Cars Can’t Escape.

It just missed being on YHF, and deserves to not disappear, as it’s a fine, fine Tweedy performance. Love the woozy organ too.
