Chalamet - I don’t just care about it. I love it.
In 1616, the Catholic Church banned a book.
Alumnus Arthur Throckmorton bought a copy anyway and it’s still on our shelves today.

Bad move Kier. This will backfire on you and the party. And I so wanted you, Labour and the UK to thrive.

Art work included in the vinyl of the album The Bird of a Thousand Voices, beautiful mythological Arc with intricate stylised trees and animals.
Complex, driving and infectious rhythms and themes.
Pure dopamine pleasure.
If you want a treasure to feel smug about that none of your friends know, then this is it. #TigranHamasyan

It is with great sadness that my last mince pie of the season turned out to be gluten free.
An accident I hope not to repeat next year.
#MincePie
On a happy note, the remaining pies have gone to a good home.
Okonomiyaki and a Super Dry for me please.
They played their own intermission music whilst folk went for a pint!
Being in the mosh pit was fun, not so much being a constant conveyor belt for crowd surfers! I still have boot marks on my forehead.
Gaia, Crumbling Castle, Dragon combo was immense!
Just wondering if this is the first time a mosh pit has done ‘the rowing boat’ at #RoyalAlbertHall

So, called Dyno-Rod yesterday to unlock a drain.
Didn’t think I’d have a celebrity coming round to unblock it though.

Album cover, white Crinoid fossil on black background.
Very satisfying to design your own album cover.

Painted fence saying ‘wet paint’. Paint had dried but it’s now raining on the fence. The sign becomes correct for a second time.
View from above. The sign was true (it was raining).
…. Weird coincidence, an old friend called me today out of the blue to say he’d been diagnosed ASD1 and mentioned how inspired he was by Robin Ince.
I’m coming to Bath Spa too (unfortunately a week later).
It’s not a tautology, it’s a university.
I have the pleasure of giving a keynote at was was my uni (BCHE) 35 years ago.
This image of the Ring Nebula, taken by Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera, appears as a distorted doughnut. The nebula’s inner cavity hosts shades of blue and green, while the detailed ring transitions through shades of orange in the inner regions and pink in the outer region. The ring’s inner region has distinct filament elements. Stars litter the scene, with a particularly prominent star with 8 long spikes in the top right corner.
Colorful clouds of gas and dust crowd the image. Deep red and orange clouds surround the image's edges, with some violet in the upper left portion. Near the left middle, a region of teal and yellow shines.
A star cluster is shown inside a large nebula of many-coloured gas and dust. The material forms dark ridges and peaks of gas and dust surrounding the cluster, lit on the inner side, while layers of diffuse, translucent clouds blanket over them. Around and within the gas, a huge number of distant galaxies can be seen, some quite large, as well as a few stars nearer to us which are very large and bright.
A colorful, glowing nebula that reaches beyond the top and bottom of the image. This translucent cloud of gas holds wispy and thin filaments with hard edges in some places, and puffy and opaque in others. Blue, red, and yellow colors mix together, showing light emitted by different types of atoms in the hot gas. Scattered across the colorful nebula are bright and point-like foreground and background stars. The background is black.
the universe wishes you a very happy pride month 🏳️🌈🌌

Cover of Rubin’s book has the monad circle, but with the book mark string at a diagonal through it as if a null set.
