Can’t get emails from DHL without following up with “We are Ron’s 22”

I’m sure I’m not the first to point out today’s NYT Connections seems like a bit of a love letter, @vcorenmitchell.bsky.social ? It feels like the spaceship talking in Close Encounters of the Third Kind

Oh my goodness, the new Lisa O’Neill video is devastating. youtu.be/Nbm-pNGPuo8?...

Needed this this morning www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Have just donated to help with Aylesham Community Action’s legal fees as they plan to do battle with Berkeley Homes who are riding roughshod over the wishes of the local people of Peckham and Southwark council. If you can donate too, you should. www.crowdjustice.com/case/acapeck...

Went for a walk in Oxleas Wood and saw a dragonfly brazenly snatch a butterfly out of the air. Nature is brutal.

Hey Bluesky friends please follow our vinyl shop! @bellaunionvinylshp.bsky.social we have some big news incoming 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

Revisiting Arsenal’s CL victory the morning after - North London Forever sounds even better in trophy-winning celebrations. I thoroughly encourage this to happen more often.

Get in!!!

Right then. Me, the dog, Nunhead Cemetery and the new Stereolab album. Here we go.

A particularly grim newsletter from @billmckibben.bsky.social today open.substack.com/pub/billmcki...

Totally besotted with the Lael Neale album. It’s a bit like Cindy Lee’s Silver Jubilee after a judicious edit. laelneale.bandcamp.com/album/altoge...

Just heard from my colleague in Barcelona that the power’s down and he can’t speak to anyone nationally.

Did the lunchtime stint of the Levit does 15 hours of Satie via Marina Abramovic. www.theguardian.com/music/2025/a...

Israel murdered this beautiful soul. Remember Fatima Hassona. Watch and spread the film "Put your soul on your hand and walk". And never stop fighting the mass murdering death machine that is the Israeli state. She was 25.

This has just made my rainy housebound in Devon day

Every Thursday, for years, I’ve been using Siri with ‘Heads or Tails’ to sort out who picks first in our weekly game of 6-a-side. With iOS 18.4 it’s stopped working. Thanks a lot Apple so-called Intelligence.

‘Almost unfathomable amounts’. This is mind-numbingly depressing

Like having the hungover student who skimmed the reading 5 minutes before class summarize your paper for the rest of the world. Awesome.

While this is sadly an April Fool’s joke (see the tags), it’s nevertheless a great ‘What if…’.

Sadly, I can see the tech-will-save-us crew going big for this

Can’t beat a good eclipse. iPhone and smoky glass screen

"Not just popular projects – they are a popular concept." "62% of the public would support a community-owned renewable energy project in their area, compared to 40% support for a privately-owned project, according to polling by Common Wealth." @bigissue.com buff.ly/PiCN8bb

Absolutely loved the @sturdyalex.bsky.social Narcissus and Echo podcast. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/a... It reminded me of the fresco I ‘found’ hidden away in Pompeii.

The Actuaries and Prof Timothy Lenton are back with an update to their already terrifying report from January, in the form of this Planetary Risk Dashboard global-tipping-points.org/risk-dashboa...

Are these the last crispy hazy mornings of the winter?

Spring’s gonna spring

Marshmallow clouds over Peckham yesterday evening.

The lichen wants you to slow down

Right now #wind is meeting 51% of the National Grid's electricity demand. https://winderful.uk

However true it might have been in the past that our economic model generates the best or even the most economically productive use of resources, the idea it still does now is clearly bullshit.

Maybe they are all just neo-Nazis.

I get occasional ghost emails from Readwise readwise.io/i/steve909 , which I loved, but couldn't justify the monthly sub. This morning's flashback quotes are zingers. I love Gravity's Rainbow so much.

I’m being gaslit by Apple Intelligence. I had to check on a calculator.

Your shortcuts to the facts ain’t the facts.

Natural instinct is to want to keep on top of how quickly things are moving. But it’s too much, too fast.

It’s album release day for both Anna B Savage and FKA Twigs. Both exploring human connection in very different but equally sensual ways. Both great.

A very pleasing scrabble go…

This is lovely.
