Awesome Sharon, congratulations & thank you!

Eoin Buckley @eoinbuckleylmk.bsky.social · 13h

Really lovely ❤️

No idea! 🙂
I think it probably started for a lack of a wine glass and just became a thing. But it makes me feel like I'm on holidays and by god that's worth holding on to.

Eoin Buckley @eoinbuckleylmk.bsky.social · 16h

Nice. Not sure how it started but I prefer wine from a tumbler in any holiday home we're staying in.

Catherine Connolly is raging that Caoimhin Kelleher saved that.

I was trying to find the right words for how I felt about the marvellous Diane Keaton - turns out @helenlohara.bsky.social captured it perfectly.

Helen O'Hara @helenlohara.bsky.social · 17h

RIP to Diane Keaton. Not only a woman who made extraordinary films but someone who always seemed to be exactly herself, and to be enjoying the experience very much.

Oh wow, I've never heard of the Bostridge/Pappano album. Huge fan of George Butterworth since I randomly bought this cd in a charity shop many years ago

Catherine Connolly prefers the more recent Simpsons

Watching Carol Kaye explain the bass intro to Wichita Lineman feels like Shakespeare walking you through 'Is this a dagger...' or Mozart saying 'I just knew an E-Flat would work' for Sinfonia Concertante.
Incredible.

Fair. Good to have regional differences. Plus I'll bank that knowledge for my next trip to Semple!

I keep 'dope' as a more benevolent term. That man is a disgusting prick

Very disappointing. I don't support FF but I have always thought MM was a decent man and I admired his drive to get the smoking ban over the line. He knows what is going here in terms of misinformation and polarisation on climate issues - he spoke directly about it in relation to the tobacco lobby ⬇️

Newspaper clip containing the following phrase: Martin says: “You see all these columns appearing in tabloids. You create this idea of incompetency, madness, nanny state-ism and you seek to undermine the credibility of the proposition"

I can't believe some uncool guy from way back has robbed his stage name from the pawn shop on Parnell St.
Shame on you #JohnnyCash

A very good point. Suddenly decades of minor guilt has lifted!!

Well said David Simon.
Fuck copyright theft.

(I did not understand this when I had a twin-deck cassette recorder in the 80s but you know what live and learn and anyway Jon Bon Jovi had enough money then)

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Haven't bought a CD in a long while but this was too good to miss. Sensational stuff.
My 11th (at least!) version of the Sinfonia Concertante (K364)

Same around SCR in #Limerick. People who use the area as a rat run must be listened to intently. Me and my daughter trying to cycle to school safely are just 'being difficult'
Oh and 'kids these days spend too much time on their phones/in their rooms' - I wonder why?

The way it works is that people who hate bike lanes and live anywhere are real new Yorkers but people who love bike lanes who live in the neighborhood don't count because reasons.

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

Ooh! Nice post arrived this morning.
