Simple Minds’ “Don’t You (Forget About Me) turns 41 this weekend. 🎂 Jim Kerr said, “.. I added the big ‘la, la-la-la-la’ ending because I didn’t have any lyrics. .. I said I’d write some, but [producer] Keith [Forsey] said: 'Over my dead body. We’re keeping that.'"

はい、「死霊館 死霊館 ラスト・ライツ」を観ています。 ある方のおかげで、これで全作品観ました。 😈

昼休みのウォーキングに出掛けて来ました😊 ウォーキングには丁度良い気温になってくれています😊 午後からも無理をしないで、マイペースでお願いします👍

When I am in extra gothic teacher mode, I shall wear this 1972 deepest green taffeta by Yves Saint Laurent. With a cape. And a bicycle. And some cute button boots. #museumatFIT #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

"...our system of separated powers and checks-and-balances threatens to give way to the continual and permanent accretion of power in the hands of one man. That is no recipe for a republic." Finally someone on the US Supreme Court said what they should have said from the start.

The current US president had nothing to do with installing the current leader of Syria. The Syrians did that. Not him. He wasn't even president when dictator Assad fled Syria. The commander of the rebel forces then was considered de facto leader of Syria at that time and is now president.

Glad I didn't buy anything personally to be imported into the US. Also glad the US Supreme Court ruled correctly using US law. Holding off on buying anything to be imported because it's going to be a mess for now Legally, tariffs should go back to where they were before he illegally instituted them

Hoping other countries will be willing to fund studies for this because it could be a game changer. I don't have hope about the US at this time. Single nasal spray vaccine could protect against all coughs, colds and flus, Stanford University researchers say. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Happy b’day, Severance. Premieres four years ago today. 💕 @benstiller.redhour.com @styphin.bsky.social @abbyseymour.bsky.social @stevekovach.bsky.social

Celebrated the Chinese New Year with a Japanese Lager from Oregon brewery Pfriem... Not bad, just a little more bitter than say Sapporo Super Dry. 20 IBU to 18 IBU. オレゴンの醸造所Pfriemの日本のラガーで春節を祝いました… 悪くないですね。ただ、サッポロスーパードライより少し苦いくらいです。サッポロのIBU18に対して、IBUは20です。

It's been good crow weather in the PNW. Just enough rain to get the worms out of the ground but not cold enough to freeze the ground. Lots of robins around too.

A gathering of blue spring flowers — a small promise of what lies ahead, and an antidote to those Monday blues. Wishing you all a bright and hopeful start to the week.

This is daringly sheer. The devoré velvet dress presumably had a matching slip beneath it. Or perhaps not? It is a casually draped #1930s affair with a rhinestone clasped belt #goldsteinmuseum #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

She looks a little windswept, as if she is holding onto the front of her coat as a chill breeze whistles about her eyes. Hopefully she was wearing an equally cosy hat and softest gloves. Paul Poiret, mid #1920s #thekyotocostumeinstitute #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

They had a great Valentine's Day back in 1931

Today and every day, we honor the sovereignty of the Tribes who have lived here since time immemorial and celebrate their stewardship of this land. Thank you to the nine sovereign Tribes in Oregon, who keep us connected to the history of this land.

The subtlety of whitework always intrigues me. The level of artisanship, the tiny stitches, only for it to blend into the background makes it more special, a secret to be enjoyed by the observant or overlooked by those in search of more obvious splendour. Gown c1800 #VandA #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

儚さとは、美しさ。

From just before dawn this morning, a 15% crescent moon hanging in one of my favorite asterisms, the Teapot. #Astronomy #astrophotography

This is really good. Worth reading, especially for writers, artists and ghost story enjoyers.

Over a century after the original couture house of Worth opened its doors, the London off shoot was still producing garments. This two piece late #1950s evening ensemble was designed by Owen Hyde Clark #VandA #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Amusing that the new Castlevania game announcement in Japan is on Friday the 13th 日本での新作『キャッスルヴァニア』発表が13日の金曜日というのは面白い www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vOw...

Yesterday I enjoyed an elegant izakaya moment with delicious chicken from @uwajimaya.bsky.social deli. 昨日は@uwajimaya.bsky.social deliの美味しい鶏肉を味わいながら、優雅な居酒屋のひとときを楽しみました。

New playlist from Ludovico Einaudi @ludovicoeinaudioff.bsky.social Lovely calm music for focus and study. And writing ルドヴィコ・エイナウディの新しいプレイリスト。 集中力と勉強、そして執筆に最適な、穏やかで素敵な音楽です。 www.youtube.com/watch?v=svCW...

5月に私の住んでいる場所にTESOLifeの店舗がオープンするんですか？ ワシントン州にも店舗をオープンするみたいですね。 少なくともダイソーよりは近いでしょう。

Just saw a curry shop in Tokyo who is offering chocolate chicken curry...and I want to make this. I just need a couple ingredients so it's going to happen! 🍛🍫 東京のカレー屋さんでチョコレートチキンカレーをやってるのを見つけたんだけど…作ってみたくなったの。 材料を少し買うだけ。だから、作れるようになるわ！

Oh. A number of higher ups and two founders have left xAI in the last couple of days...including engineers. Around 12? No info if it's in relation to the attempted merger with SpaceX. Just remember social media platform X is part of xAI, and there's investigations happening in several countries.

Okay Severance, Stiller said he's not directing this time due to conflicts so hoping filming will start on time. What I want to know about is Silo! Season 3 filming wrapped last year so it's been in post production for a few months already. I need something good to watch. And Outcome trailer when?

Guessing this is due to federal government cut backs to In Home Support Services which partially paid family members to take care of disabled and elderly kin. And cut backs to Meals on Wheels and other programs. Also increases to nursing homes and care facilities due to more aging US population

Bud broke the mold of what a leading actor should be. Gonna rewatch "Harold and Maude" tonight. It is an endearing movie, definitely art. Rest in peace Bud Cort, condolances to your friends and family.

The violet, a symbol of modesty and loyalty, is another birth flower for those born in February. “The violet in her green-wood bower, Where birchen boughs with hazel mingle, May boast itself the fairest flower In glen, or copse, or forest dingle.” - Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832)

like I said, the AI images made on X get posted on other sites. and it's getting worse.

A few photos of Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden in December. Can you see the hug? #Japan #park #autumn #Tokyo 12月の新宿御苑の写真です。抱擁しているのが分かりますか？

This is the Alpha Persei Cluster, one of my favorite open clusters. Unfortunately there was a lot of humidity and thin clouds, which created a glow around the bright stars. The brightest is Alpha Persei, also known as Mirfak. #Astronomy #Astrophotography
