Jackie Jackson died two days ago. His death did not get the fanfare that the big celebrities get but I assure you he was no less than any of them: a titan astride the earth. In this thread, a few of the songs he played bass on. You know these songs. You know their bass parts. youtu.be/DKVB_CtU8XQ

Now here's something I think remarkable. Look very carefully. This isn't a high quality monochrome photo of a bygone street scene. It's a pencil drawing! By the artist Stuart Walton, born in Dewsbury in 1933. I love it!

A fun, affordable hobby is: 1. Turning up in random well-to-do Cotswold villages wearing a hi-vis vest with a picture of a wind turbine on it, and a hard hat. 2. Taking measurements of the village green and any other open space, and enthusiastically writing notes on a clipboard.

Today, the Sandbach Music Festival has broken out at the rugby club next door. I'd like to thank the participants for bravely having a go, despite clearly having never played any of their instruments before. And it's a bold artistic choice to depart so radically from established melodic norms.

It was inevitable, wasn't it🙄 Of course the Telegraph would run with something like this👇 So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage 🧵1/23

Today is World Refugee Day. Here’s a poem called ‘Refugees’.

Refugees

They have no need of our help
So do not tell me
These haggard faces could belong to you or me
Should life have dealt a different hand
We need to see them for who they really are
Chancers and scroungers
Layabouts and loungers
With bombs up their sleeves
Cut-throats and thieves
They are not
Welcome here
We should make them
Go back to where they came from
They cannot
Share our food
Share our homes
Share our countries
Instead let us
Build a wall to keep them out
It is not okay to say
These are people just like us
A place should only belong to those who are born there
Do not be so stupid to think that
The world can be looked at another way

(now read from bottom to top)

My mate's neighbour has 5 kids by 3 different mums (cheated on all of them), hires escorts, wed someone who barely speaks English, ripped out beautiful landscaping for an ugly patio, leaves building work half-done and the place keeps getting shot at. Avoid 1600 Pennsylvania Ave for your own safety.
