I’ve been name-checked before on @lordofaddersblack.bsky.social but this is the first time I feel truly seen! 😋

@bangpodcast.bsky.social in the latest ep you said you’d never seen The Cult live, Pank. I have, just the once, on (what turned out to be) one of the most significant days of my/our life/s. They played Who Wants To Live Forever over the PA as the crowd filed out 💔

I listened on and have just caught your correction/apology - that’ll teach me! Still, the Cozy/Tammy fact still remains (I think Cozy died v.late on 5th April and Tammy was on 6th, but Cozy’s news wouldn’t have made the news until 6th)
@bangpodcast.bsky.social Pank! It was Peter Criss, the 4th (founder) member of KISS, that released 1/4 of the KISS solo LPs. Eric Carr replaced him behind the kit in 1980. Cozy Powell suffered a similar fate to Eric as his death occurred at the same time as Tammy Wynette’s…

Just had to show proof-of-age when signing for a parcel. Aside from my masseeve baldi heid and grizzled visage, the driver actually accepted “I was legal to drink when I bought this bloody t-shirt at a gig over 30 years ago! Do you STILL want to see my passport?!”

Not sure if many folks have seen this already but I’ve never seen (any of) it before. A great interview with an honest, open, gentle human being, giving considered and candid answers. A “new” Deacy interview! Hoorah!

Combining the “entertaining” conversation between Kevin & The Cardinal on @seasidepodreview.bsky.social about tofu, veganism, & Kev’s love of chickpeas AND the dad jokes feature…
What’s the difference between a lentil and a chickpea?
I’ve never paid money to have a lentil on my face!

Bumped into @dannywardcomedy.bsky.social and not only does he have the show of the fringe (IMHO), but also that he is just a lovely fella.
Anyone heading to Edinburgh, PLEASE do yourself a favour and see his show. I saw it a week ago and it has stayed with me ever since. It is simply incredible.

A CNBC poll from July 28-August 3rd showed Trump's disapproval ratings at 51%.

"Yeah.." a Republican might say, "...but what about Fox News polls? You know...and REAL poll!"

Well, I'm glad you asked: Fox News July 18-21. Trump's disapproval rating was 54%😎

BREAKING: New polling from @yougov.co.uk shows 75% of Brits support taxing extreme wealth.

But today Keir Starmer once again brushed off calls for higher taxes on the super-rich.

When will the PM stop siding with billionaires and listen to the British public instead? 350.org/tax-their-bi...

Right. Tax it to the fucking skies.

Make it cost what it costs. Make it unfeasible to use.

Then stop using it.
So…about AI’s energy use…

“…to create a five-second video, a newer AI model uses ‘about 3.4 million joules, more than 700 times the energy required to generate a high-quality image’. That's the equivalent of running a microwave for over an hour.”
Report: Creating a 5-second AI video is like running a microwave for an hour
That's a long time in the microwave.
