England seemed to him to be nothing but horrors and misery now. The very shapes of the trees were like frozen screams.
Trying to make sense of a teenage memory. When the BBC started showing Twin Peaks in late 1990, was it repeated late at night? The first episode went out on my 17th birthday, but I didn't encounter it until near midnight a couple of weeks later. @whenisbirths.bsky.social maybe the man.
I remember us visiting 'the most haunted pub in England' in around 2003. It was in York and looked really old. We walked in full of anticipation. The lights were as brash as an A&E department and they were playing the Nolan Sisters. Didn't even bother buying a drink. 0/10.
Rare colour photographs of The Beatles getting their famous haircuts in 1963.
Saw this earlier and immediately assumed it was AI. Nope, this guy is actually real. Incredible. youtu.be/8X5UozlIrik?...

Malicious AI, rockets crashing into the moon, explosive drones found at a German airport & record high sea temperature anomalies. It's no wonder we're all totally stressed out. This tidal wave of shit has become relentless.
Our toilet has just sprung a massive leak. This is definitely my mum getting involved. Paging that Uncanny guy.
Nick Portnell@nportnell.bsky.social · yesterdaySo my 81-year-old father is bringing his new woman round to ours on Sunday. She's French/Italian and has a 17-year-old daughter, so I expect she's a fair bit younger than 81. To be fair, my dad looks like John Thaw and drives a fancy car. I'm really trying to be cool about this.

My God that new Strokes song is horrible. #deathtoautotune
We adopted Milo from a garden centre last week. We are now catching those bastard fruit flies, placing them between his plant based jaws and watching them snap shut. Possibly cruel, but we're just helping nature. The RSPCA ain't got nothing on us.
The picture on the front of Reform's policy is of HMS Ocean on the River Thames in 2012. It was sold by to the Brazilian navy in 2018. Turns out you can judge a book by its cover.
#NowPlaying In my head, I have a constant and pointless dialogue about my favourite ever albums. I've only known this for a year or so, but definitely a top 50, maybe higher. Just perfect.
Walking home across Walthamstow Marshes this evening. She landed about 6 feet away from me.
"A real football gangster. The whole world is turning its back on you. F*** you, Infantino!" 🇨🇭 During yesterday's Swiss league match against Basel, Lausanne-Sport fans directed a message against FIFA president (and Swiss citizen) Gianni #Infantino. 👇

1969. Fucking amazing. This could've been a ghost band in Where Are You Scooby Doo. Perfect spooky psych. youtu.be/WcOozPO9Ri8?...

#NowPlaying Without trying to sound like a dick, I am convinced that I own one of the most pristine copies of this beauty. The poster is mint, the vinyl is NM, but the cover has a slight crease that bothers me far more than it should. #vinylknobhead
Number 4 in my extremely infrequent 'songs that sound exactly like T.Rex' series. This is one of only about 5 U2 songs that I actually like. youtu.be/eIdTNyJp38A?...

#NowPlaying An astonishing compilation that somehow sounds better every time I actually listen to it (roughly every three years or so).
Holy moly! This is better than that time they brought the Mary Rose up from beneath the sea.

My God, this is wonderful. AC/DC on Australian TV in February 1976. Bon Scott has to be one of the most charismatic front men ever. His eyes just scream mischief. youtu.be/KQ4ewhH-8nc?...

I saw a T.Rex documentary that had a guy on it talking at length about his time as the band's drummer. It even had 'Paul Fenton ex-T.Rex drummer' flash up on the screen every time he spoke. Turns out that he ONLY PLAYED 'ADDITIONAL DRUMS' ON ONE T.REX SONG IN 1974!!! I was fuming.
Sanjay Srivastava@sanjaysrivastava.com · 7d agoWhat is an extremely nerdy/obscure/specific thing you hate with a white-hot wrath?
It's interesting to see literally nobody I follow talking about the Rubber Soul boxset. I've got the 2014 mono LP & CD, a US mono CD, a UK stereo CD & a UK stereo LP; is it really worth getting this? I mean, it's one of the greatest albums ever made, but you have a draw a line somewhere, right?
The Nextdoor app is possibly more exciting than Bluesky these days. 'So enjoy the fruit hope'.
