"After taking a wrong turn, the ArchdukeTaoiseach's carriage was crossing the Rosie Hackett Bridge when a deranged drag queen on a bicycle rode by with a potato gun. A shot rang out! The little nub of potato found its mark.

War had begun"
Considering the life I've had, it'll really be very funny if it's the contempt that government has for cycling and its obsessive erotic affair with cars that eventually radicalises me into throwing myself in front of the King's horse

If you buy Susan Stranks Big Ideas Book for thoughts on how to radically decentre the nuclear family & reimagine networks of care, or ideas on abolishing the carceral system, you’ll be disappointed.
However, if you’re seeking heaps of things to make from leaves, wool & paper plates then jackpot baby

Reminds me of a time I stood on the fire escape at the back of our flat, listening to the roar from Fratton Park stadium, doing my own head in trying to work out what I was actually hearing on account of how no individual shout could have made it to my ears.
When I was very young, the immersion heater was in a cupboard in my bedroom and I absolutely loved laying in bed hearing the sound of a bath being run.
I have now discovered you get almost exactly the same weirdly relaxing cacophony by playing all 1004 Looney Tunes cartoons simultaneously.

Np. I've noticed with a lot of these comps of old tunes the odd track that sounds like a low bitrate MP3, which I've suspected was due to 'mastering' from bloody YouTube or something, but now I'm wondering if it's excessive noise reduction? Anyway, earliest tracks here suffer from it but otherwise 😎

Company biog, 1964ish. "...making a fetish of simplicity even to the point of crudity" is a pleasing line

Hello. This is The Whale Pod: a podcast where a Welshman and a Geordie read Herman Melville's leviathanic 1851 opus 'Moby-Dick' and try to work out what it's all about. Featuring capitalism, empire, race, gender, sex, God, money, fascism, violence, obsession, America, and absolutely loads of whales
