Last Wednesday, August 5, was the 60th anniversary of Revolver's release. 5 years ago, @latereturnsteve.bsky.social & I did a 2-hour track-by-track Vapour Trails special on it, which you can still hear. Yes, it does start with a Rolling Stones track-there's a reason. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPes...

The underlying structural factor here is the overwhelming focus on handful of elite anglophone universities because that's where the media recruits from and the thing is that the incestuous academic inbreeding shows. An entire elite culture with a Habsburg chin.
So do any actual in-person shops sell eclipse glasses? Over-the-counter brute physical establishments, if any of you remember such things.
I have the same complaint about the gods in real life though

A lot of people today talking about an awful person who died but i want to make everyone aware of a good person who died: Northern Irish comedian Jimmy Cricket, who you should all look up if you don’t know. 10/10 all around wife guy, dad, granddad, and just a generally solid person
If you can’t think of anything nice to say, I believe there’s a vacancy at The Spectator.
That said, let us take a moment to thank our Bluesky Trans and Furry Elders for freaking out Jack Dorsey so much he bolted and left us this nice social media playground, taking most of his crypto chuds with him. We thank you for your service.
Republicans believe vaccines cause autism, Trump won the 2020 election, Michelle Obama is a man, and ivermectin can cure Covid. Democrats need to accept at least some of these or give up the charade of bipartisanship.

bit weird isn't it when do the generic search engine thing for Robert Hooke, at top you get an AI slop image of him with a clearly 19thc or later compound microscope, entirely unlike that which he pioneered. Oh yeah also a desk lamp as well as a candle. Great stuff. Internet's doing very well
In cryptography, a nonce is a one-time-use random number (it is actually a shortening of “nonsense”). For example I could send you a nonce, you could encrypt it with a key both share, and that would prove you have the key. Fun name for a conference. Except if there are any Brits around…

I think this is absolutely dreadful, and he should be released from solitary immediately. Just think of all those poor noncestabbers in GenPop who haven't got a nonce to stab.
