Excellent! Absolutely love the Airplane.
White Rabbit didn't make it onto the original UK release though, which is the version I have.

NOTHING will prepare you for this 45-second story arc. From "I'm just doing this because I love the flag, it's totally grassroots, and I'm not part of anything political"... to who actually gave him the flags the night before.

Anyone who believes it is an innocent movement needs to see this.

Bayle Gate in Bridlington.
A postcard from the 1930s and my photo made with my homemade 5x4 Pinhole Camera with X-ray film.

More excellent service (NOT), from #evri
Why do sellers insist on using them?😡
#crapservice #stillstuckatsendersdepot #evri
Yes, the seller has tried to contact them.
No, they haven't responded.
Yes, hopefully, I'll be getting my money back.

Feels like a female, modern reincarnation of Gil Scott Heron (and I don't think the presence of Brian Jackson on keys is a coincidence...) #jazz #poetry #music

I really like this. Just enough of the van disappearing behind the shelter, the slight change in the clouds.

He'll have to check with the friends of Israel first and then .....oh dear!
But won't supporting Palestine make him a terrorist or even antisemitic? 🤔 Hmmm, tricky one this.

The response of @thereforme.bsky.social is spot on. Over the past 3 years I've photographed dozens of #pwME who are trapped in bedrooms desperate for appropriate treatment.

Nothing wrong with taxing the rich 😀

"created a huge headache for Rachel Reeves, the chancellor, who will now have to find a further £2.5bn of savings at her autumn budget."
How about Rachel Reeves will have to tax the wealthy to find £2.5bn to pay towards welfare costs?

I would have swung by earlier
But you know myself and visiting
I prefer the absentee visitor method

If I was of that age, I certainly wouldn't want to be bringing children into this world.

John @john1961.bsky.social · Jun 30

Has anyone thought that the shit state of the country, the world, climate change etc might be putting people off having families?
I certainly worry what kind of world my grandchildren (and Keith Richards) are going to inherit.
