One of my favourite bits in the Beatles doc Get Back is when the camera crew roams out into Savile Rowe amidst the 1969 public. I remember thinking “I want to know more about some of these people’s lives!” and now I feel like I finally got my wish. So good. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxAz...

In our family, five days before Christmas, we love to play the time-honoured festive game *Aging Male Rocker or Butch Lesbian?* Which could this be?

Some think that insisting on the 5-7-5 syllable rule in English #haiku is to misunderstand the rules of Japanese language and poetry. Me, I like the discipline. The puzzle of 5-7-5 ties up the conscious mind and frees the subconscious. Some people are into bondage for the same reason, perhaps.

Because I'm bad, I'm bad, shamone (bad, bad, really, really bad) You know I'm bad, I'm bad (bad, bad) You know it (really, really bad) You know I'm bad, I'm bad (bad, bad) Shamone, you know (really, really bad) And the whole world has to answer right now Just to tell you once again Who's bad?

I spoke with #Pluribus star Carlos-Manuel Vesga about Episode 7, Manousos' "horrible" road trip, why his character is refusing any help from the Others, and more:

My name is Manousos Oviedo. I am not one of them. I wish to save the world.

This week I've watched this video from @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social with Y7. First there were whispers of 'it's the chocolate cake guy'. Then 'whoa' uttered as the stories were told. They had so many genuine questions at the end, mostly asking how this could happen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iR_...
