we went to the Brattle Theatre in Harvard Square and saw Hard Boiled (John Woo, 1992). I did so much head-scratching. Like, the scene in the library when the guy grabs the Shakespeare volume with the pages cut out to hide a gun. Why was that classed in the Dewey 400s?

I've just realised that if you can sing "algorithm" to the Gershwin classic "I Got Rhythm" and I don't know what to do with this amazing discovery.

Last night, due to a fault on my home landline, I had no internet access. Mobile reception inside my flat is very poor so I couldn't use tethering. It's surprising how much I rely on the internet for so many things, from listening to the radio to ordering a library book to checking an address.

Wonderful article about walking without a purpose, which makes me want to found a Loiterers Resistance Movement in South London.

Walking together can be a powerful way to feel a sense of belonging in our environment.

Chener Books is such an asset to the East Dulwich community.

Loved popping into Chener Books in East Dulwich today - such a brilliant bookshop - and big smile from me when I spotted #ChristOnABike on the shelves. Signed copies now in stock & great to chat with the lovely Dorothy 💙📚💙 #bools #booksky #EastDulwich @ofmooseandmen.bsky.social

Does anyone else keep saying "Dorton and Genton?" I hope so or otherwise, I have a bug in my brain.

Finally got around to watching Bad Bunny's Super Bowl Halftime Show. I mean, yeah. I now can finally see what it is that Trump really hates: Joy. youtu.be/G6FuWd4wNd8?...

Little piece about the urban sculpture garden outside of Denmark Hill Station. Calling it 'bonkers' is a bit harsh, but it is weird and wonderful. h/t Camberwell Society @tomtomofcamberwell.bsky.social @martinheadon.bsky.social @chrisrowell.bsky.social

My home printer has broken down. Probably irreparable. And, sadly I think maybe this will be the last printer I will ever own. It really doesn't seem ethical to buy a machine that I use less than once a month, if that. What I need is a place I can go 24/7 which will print out from a USB or email.

And as the library book of time slides into the book bin of eternity, I would like to wish all my readers East of Dulwich, American, Europe, Asia and around the world, a peaceful and pleasant weekend.

Today is National Love Your Pet Day! We'd like to shine a light on the Ross Institute Matron's pet dog Binkie who lived in the institute in the 1930's! Images from the Ross Institute collection highlight him as a mascot for Mosquito day as well as a support and friend!🐶♥️ Happy #loveyourpetday 🥰

It’s all very well laughing about how ridiculous American politics is until you remember the well-attested adage that every single thing that happens in America happens in Britain five years later.

Don't aliens get to have a say about this?

DOOCY: Barack Obama said that aliens are real. Have you seen any evidence of non-human visitors to earth? TRUMP: Well, he gave classified information. He's not supposed to be doing that. DOOCY: So aliens are real? TRUMP: I don't know if they're real or not. He made a big mistake.

If Andrew ends up in a British court. Does he have the right to trial by his peers, like members of the House of Lords? And if so, who would his peers be?

The White Rose was a non-Jewish resistance group created by Professor Kurt Huber and his students at the University of Munich. They criticised the Nazis persecution and oppression of Jews, and called for wider resistance to Nazi rule...

Why is there never a Bank Holiday Monday when you really need one?

As I get towards the end of my working life, so fortunate to be working in a great team of people, people who are kind, helpful and easy to get along with. If you are at the start of your career and you find yourself in the same situation, make the most of it. It's not to be taken for granted!

.@jamesmcash.bsky.social This Better Bus Southwark plan looks like it might be interesting but is completely lacking in any details, options or proposals. Will the £10m go on new buses or better infrastructure such as bus lanes? Or something else? engage.southwark.gov.uk/en-GB/folder...

Julia Varley, expert flipper of pancakes, was also a suffragette and trade unionist. She was active in the National Federation of Women Workers and the Workers' Union, serving as chief women's officer of the TGWU from 1929 to 1936. #ShroveTuesday #PancakeDay

Did any one else grow up with the terrifying cautionary verses of Hilaire Belloc?

There must have been, in the past, nations, empires, civilizations even, that banned philosophy and science. They just didn't survive for some reason.

PETITION: UK Government to declare a Public Holiday on Tuesday to celebrate a day when it doesn't rain.

There's no way to explain why I find Rothko's paintings so moving and I know they don't do it for everyone. I once took a girlfriend to the Tate and when I showed her the Rothko room, she pronounced them "crap." So you could say it's subjective and yet, why do so many people feel the same as I do?

Can anyone tell me anything about this song that had so many covers but doesn't seem to merit a Wikipedia Article?

On Saturday night, I used to turn on the news, without hesitation, but now, I do it with trepidation.
