beatles scrap books and press cuttings for sale

 As a sad git and fan of The Beatles, l wanted these, but not even l'm not mad enough to pay that much. I wonder if the buyer was (or on behalf of) Mark Lewisohn?

RIP Marjane Satrapi (persepolis amongst others)

 Bugger!  If you haven't read (or seen) Persepolis, rectify that as soon as you can. A sad loss.

children of the revolution 1975 - 78

Obviously this will need magnifying to read, but what a great time to be alive. Mind you, the Rock and Roll years and 1960's to 1975 weren't that shabby. For example, I'd have liked to be 15 in 1965. to benefit from experiencing first hand all that was about to come up.

the unread pile of books in the corner

This picture makes it look as though there's a pile of books in the corner waiting to be read. Trust me, that's just a smidgeon of the amount of books l have piled up waiting patiently for their turn. I need help (or a bigger house).

alan moore is my future self (although l'm half way there)

Watching (as is my wont) a chat between Alan Moore (knows the score) and Ian Sinclair at Alan Moore's house, l saw a vision of how my future self and surroundings is going to be. 

I'm probably more than half way there already.





Here's the current view form my settee as l'm lying down working on the laptop.


I've just assembles two more bookcases which are full of CDs and covered up behind the settee.


And here's the front view, still in the process of sorting out stuff.  Let's face it, l need a bigger house (and l am living like a hippie).

scott pelley fired from cbs' 60 minutes show

The rest of the (very old) 60 Minutes reporters should also leave and they should take the show to another platform and call it 'One Hour' (and then do a show on CBS). Also, Nick Bilton saying he has 'devoted his life to investigative journalism'?  Give me a break.  See some of his Wikipedia page (below).

pope leo's 'magnifica humanitas'

I've finally finished reading Pope Leo,s recent 'Magnifica Humanites' and I agree pretty much with most of it, even though l am a staunch atheist, as some of the points l have been arguing myself for years, as in how to support possibly 50% of the population who may lose their jobs. He writes about (amongst other things)  humanity, what it means to be human, how to help the less fortunate in society as AI completely changes the world, and how it shouldn't be up to the tech bros to decide mankind's future. It's great that his message will reach billions of people, but as to what effect it will have in the long run, l'm not so sure. Also, l love the coded messages to Trump and his cronies. He's the kind os Socialist leader l am after (but minus the faith).

let them eat ballroom cartoon

 


farage encouraged this shitshow in southampton

As sure as night follows day, the violent idiot racists respond to Farage and Robinson, despite the bereaved families wishes. Nothing of course to do with Farage wanting people to show 'pure cold rage' earlier in the day. Twats, all of them, but Farage knows what he is doing and monetising hatred and division, so he's much more to blame.

 This.  All of this. See my recent Farage post for my views. He's a racist shit stirring opportunist twat, ignoring a bereaved families wishes so he can spread hatred.

e jean carroll is not trump's accuser.

 A reminder to the press. Not only is this a blatant misuse of power and corrupt as fuck from the child rapist president as America's standards sink lower and lower, but words and headlines matter. E Jean Carroll is not 'Trump's accuser'. He was found guilty of raping her in a court of law. He raped her, amongst many others. Here's a reminder.

Here's some recent headlines.
