I am pleased to announce that I run with the sort of folks who will pack out a karaoke booth at a bowling alley if I start a WhatsApp group to instigate it.
Tracklist for karaoke sadly does not include The Rat by The Walkmen but I suppose I can’t have everything.

Folks, if you have a business or brand, how does Bluesky fit into your social media promo, if at all?
I did see @totalcurtis.bsky.social musing about personal usage of Bluesky but what do we think about its use for businesses, particularly in the drinks industry? Is it relevant?

I was working at a beer festival all day yesterday and had a guy from Northern Ireland ask my if I was Irish.
He did not seem that drunk.
Apart from the rhotic “R”s, I absolutely do not sound Irish.

The US gov under Trump has made it clear that only *positive* views of concentration camps will be allowed, thank you. The new signs at Manzanar National Historic Site ask visitors to report any depictions that "inappropriately disparage Americans past or living.”

Aaaah, it's gotten warm enough for me to reminisce about that time I drank through a whole case of Evil Twin Nomader Weisse at The Kings Arms in Bethnal Green over the course of several visits in a month.
I miss that beer. Is it even sold in the UK now?
