Bluesky is ok but it’s also full of people who love nothing more in life than commenting with a minor correction or to tell you why that fictitious scenario you posted about for the purposes of a joke wouldn’t technically be possible. Come on lads chill.

I mean, this was (and remains) the great promise of the web — that we could create, share and connect with each other exactly like this, peer-to-peer, without gatekeepers, rather than one-to-many broadcast. It’s just that now we’re trying to do it while pollution is being dumped into the ecosystem.

All bands I rate very highly, I might say.

#NowPlaying Hampton Grease Band - "Music To Eat" Reputedly, when released in 1971, it was Columbia's 2nd worst selling record ever. Which is astonishing, because it's a mixture of the Mothers, Beefheart, Grateful Dead, and Allman Brothers.
That's a potent blend.

Yes! Thanks. Been doing it since student days. 😊 Recently, I did try with Lea & Perrins, though. I'm not quite sure what to think about that yet..

Scientists recently found two evolutionarily distinct mushrooms converged to produce the same psychedelic molecule—psilocybin.

The “surprising” results underscore the significance of the hallucinogen but leave questions about its ultimate purpose.

In mind-bending twist, ‘magic’ mushrooms evolved twice independently

Study identifies entirely new suite of enzymes that can make psilocybin

The first side is pretty good, but the second, comprising UFO and Der LSD, is truly epic.

Call me cynical, but with a ceasefire possible the government aren't going to cancel any arms deals.

Labour must cease aiding and abetting war criminals, and end all arms sales to Israel.

#NowPlaying Grobschnitt - "Ballerman"
Grobschnitt always seemed massively good humoured. This is definitely an album of two halves, though. The first record is *very* Grobschnitt, but not essential, whereas the 2nd is a 33-min version of "Solar Music", which is fantastic.
