Get a room. No, really.
Headline: "Trump warns Musk of 'very serious consequences' if he backs Democrats". Which sounds to me like "It's bad enough you dumped me but what are you doing with HER" after a long and uncomfortable night at what you both insist is your local.

Some fascinating extra insight from the Isley Brothers' Wikipedia page
"In February or March 1964, at the recommendation of a former associate of Joe Tex, Ronnie Isley granted guitarist Jimi Hendrix (who would later become famous as a solo artist) an audition that led to an offer to become the guitarist with the Isley Brothers' backing band, the I.B. Specials, which he readily accepted." It's the detail about Hendrix later being a famous solo artist that amused me.

Love this, from the closing credits of the film Mr Popper's Penguins.
"No penguins were harmed in the making of this film. Jim Carrey, on the other hand, was bitten mercilessly. But he had it coming."

Just been to @petemckee.bsky.social 's splendid exhibition 'The Boy With A Leg Named 'Brian'' at Weston Park Museum. Evocative and moving. If you want to see the pictures, go along. Meanwhile, here's the youngest of us discovering Space Invaders.

Alan Gubby quoted in the latest issue of @electronicsound.bsky.social Electronic Sound magazine.
"I honestly don't think the people in control give a fuck about whether you're woke or fascist, left or right - what they care about is never letting go of power, and they will do anything required to manipulate you."
