Watching the oddest episode of The A Team I've ever seen: from 1986, "Quarterback Sneak"—early in the 5th season when it got weird, but before it was so weird it got canceled. Featuring Joe Namath, John Matuszak, Jim Brown. & an uncredited (on iMDB) Jerry Van Dyke. a dimly remembered different time.

The top 10% are propping up the US economy with their entitled spending, while 90% suffer.
Stock market is inflated by the AI bubble. Top 1% own 1/2 of all stocks. Bottom 50% own 1% of the market.

well...they always called him the 5th Beatle—& often the most important one. especially near the end, when they were fighting, hating each other, & A not being in the studio at the same time as B & vice versa. so the creation of studio albums like Abbey Road was a nightmare. George made it a whole.

There's a Beatles Hour on KRVM here in town—every Saturday morning. I caught it last Saturday while in my car—which has a surprisingly awesome stereo system. I was shocked anew at how good some of their later stuff was. that was probably George Martin, really. they talked about the MJ catalog stuff.

the later details that come out are always enlightening, but at a certain point it begins to feel revisionist—as if I'm being told I didn't experience what I thought I experienced—or that I was deceived. & maybe that's so. but the deception was the experience. & that's what I want to remember.

honestly I don't feel that way. I don't feel like most retrospectives do a good job of capturing the zeitgeist of the times. it has always felt to me—especially with a phenomenon like what the Beatles were—that the only important reality of it was what it felt like at the time.

IDK—maybe? I read an unauthorized biography of John—way back when. & had some compendium books about who wrote what when where & why. that sort of thing. movies & other stuff about early & late Beatles, lots of stuff about John's various excursions through Crazytown. not a lot about Paul or Linda.

1969. John's 28th birthday? a very chaotic time for the Beatles; it was all falling apart. exploding apart, more accurately. just a few days after Abbey Road was released.

I've noticed something with the headlines & ledes from Le Parisien—a popular French Daily: I wouldn't have noticed it except for its being in French, so I particularly notice the vocabulary & wording used: it all has a characteristic, simple sentence structure, same phraseology, limited vocabulary.

There have been quite a few significant retirements from cycling this fall. Many of those retirements are proving to be equally significant for their fans.

I got into cycling because of these two retiring riders – it will be strange to cover the sport without them

With Geraint Thomas and Lizzie Deignan both retiring in 2025, Matilda Price reflects on the impact they had on the sport, and on her

I just looked him up on his Wikipedia page to confirm that he's George's son. I see that his birthday is October 9th. which I'm pretty sure is John Lennon birthday. kind of an eerie coincidence.

I just now looked it up & nope narry a word about it here.

Dreamboat Annie @soulwithoutaking.bsky.social · 2d

it's so tacky. nothing like the real thing. not in style, not in substance.

Dreamboat Annie @soulwithoutaking.bsky.social · 2d

This is another good example of how the MAGAt mentality thinks they can act in a vacuum & without consequences. they can't anticipate what they don't have the habit of imagining. So Putin moves a chess piece & all of a sudden it's another war by proxy. Maybe it really will be Trump's Vietnam.

because they don't think of most of us as fully human, they give no mental space to anticipating results of actions. Only their in-groups get consideration. So when they get blowback, they are genuinely astonished & outraged. where is this hostility coming from? you're so rude! how dare you, etc.
