Not that I’m biased or anything, but Jim is the best name for a cat.
THREAD.
3 years ago, with no warning, a brilliant orange farm cat wandered over from the draughty barn where he had been living, in rural Cornwall, and decided he wanted to live with us instead.
We decided to call him Jim.
This is the first photo I took of him, on that night: December 1st, 2022.

#KlausDoldinger was considered Germany's "King of Jazz." As the composer of the "Tatort" theme tune and the film score of "Das Boot" or "Die unendliche Geschichte," he immortalized himself among an audience of millions. He has now died at the age of 89.

Er schuf das Intro für die erfolgreichste Krimireihe der Republik - und schrieb sich unauslöschlich in die deutsche wie auch internationale Jazzgeschichte ein.

A birthday shoutout to composer Marco Beltrami.
Known for his scores for SCREAM and other horror films, he has a very wide range, and has worked with Guillermo del Toro, James Mangold, Kathryn Bigelow and others.
Emmy winner and Academy Award nominee Beltrami is 59 today.

The Unbound fuck-up is specifically awful, but generic. The creators of “content” being the last people to get paid, while the people who own the pipe do fine. It’s the new normal. It’s Spotify’s CEO taking home millions. It’s AI stealing our work.
It’s that. Again.
Which is exhausting.
