The Nobel Peace Prize goes to Maria Corina Machado
for "her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy."

How will that gold spray paint survive the onslaught of flung ketchup?

Treated myself to the reissue of "Upstairs At Eric's" on crystal clear vinyl. It's credited to #Yaz - not #Yazoo - because I opted for the US version, whose tracklist was improved by substituting "Tuesday" for the fab Kervorkian remix of "Situation."

Glorious electropop.

#UpstairsAtEric's
Album cover for "Upstairs at Eric's" by Yaz - the American name for the UK electro band, Yazoo. It depicts two mannequins sitting at a table in a loft setting.

Watching #TOTP 1981 and can't help wondering if Gary Numan and Sean "Just Jack" Hayes have ever been seen in the same room?

Well, it's #BandcampFriday again, so why not engage in a little shameless self-promo?!

A "promo card" for Hometime's artist page on the Bandcamp website. The image has a monochrome headshot of a man wearing glasses, the words "Artist HOMETIME - listen on Bandcamp" underneath, and a QR code taking you to the music.

Well done, ‪@dublinbusnews.bsky.social‬. I'm sure the information is vital in some other country.

Dun Laoghaire's elegant calm is always nice for a walk.

28⁰ in the Phoenix Park. This breeze is lulling me into a false sense of security, but I'll probably arrive home as crispy as a pork scratching.

Ten years ago today, celebrating the historic YES to Marriage Equality. We spent a huge chunk of the day in Pantibar, surrounded by joyful people.

Later that day, I proposed actual marriage to my now husband (it was a legal, constitutional and societal upgrade from our 2011 Civil Partnership).
