These are unsettling times.
Upon Awakening to the Sounds of Distant Rumbles   He awakes from seasonal slumbers to distant rumbles. A storm approaching, perhaps, or the muffled guns from the ghost of a war long since waged upon faded fields.   The dawn chorus wakens the dead and rattles the brain as the back street clatter recedes into murmured memory and the awful truth emerges. Bin day! The revised Christmas holiday collection schedule.   Thoughts fly unbidden to the rooms of recycling, Pennines of packaging, glaciers of glass, corridors of cardboard and cartons, growing, overflowing, silently creeping up the staircase, across the landing, clawing at the bedroom door. The horror! The horror!   He lies there and tries to collect himself. Brian Bilston

Story from Joolz Denby over on Facebook. A bad day at TotP in 1985 with New Model Army, and Chris Rea suddenly appearing and being compassionate and gernerally decent.

@stevenwilsonhq.bsky.social was amazing last night at the Lowry in Manchester. A superb venue. Lots of fun with Blunders too, who was on top form.

John Oliver on the Trump Terror Tariffs:

‘Oh really? Oh shit. OK.‘

Not Okay.

Donald Trump's trade war mistakenly imposed a 10% tariff on goods from the uninhabited, glacier-covered Heard Island and McDonald Islands, one of the most remote territories on Earth.

Almost time for part 3. #MarillionWeekend.
A photo of the Port Zelande concert hall, minutes before the start of the third Marillion show of the weekend.

Similarly, my business model of stealing all your shit won't work if you don't allow me to steal all your shit.

Today’s poem celebrates Fibonacci Day. It’s called ‘Word Crunching’.
Word Crunching I  wrote  a poem  on a page  but then each line grew  to the word sum of the previous two  until I began to worry about all these words coming with such frequency  because as you can see, it can be easy to run out of space when a poem gets all Fibonacci sequency  Brian Bilston
