Hate it when my friend traps me under a cup then slides a piece of paper under it and throws me outside. Do you have any idea how long it took me to get into your house?

A mum comforts her little boy on the bus. He is crying about something. She says, ‘It’s ok. Have a good cry.’ Man nearby: Well done. We’re so bad at letting boys just feel sad.

I like the idea of releasing a 49th anniversary edition because who knows what'll be next year?

The fact that my students play Connections – probably because I've shown it to them – made my day.

Mein erstes Zeitzeichen! Es geht um das Ende des Nürnberger Hauptkriegsverbrecher-Prozesses und die Rolle der Frauen in diesem Prozess. In 14:30 Minuten muss man sich da auf wenige Aspekte fokussieren, es gäbe noch so viel mehr zu erzählen. Mit dabei in dieser Folge: Seweryna Szmaglewska.

I slept on Clipse's album Let God Sort Em Out from last year. You could be forgiven to sleep on much of modern music. But this one – produced by Pharrell Williams – is such an instant joy that I am glad to have righted that wrong.

“Stumbling stones” in Arlington, Va., show the names of enslaved people on the sidewalks in front of where they were enslaved. The idea came from a similar project in Germany where small plaques were placed in front of the homes of those murdered in the Holocaust enslavedarl.org/s/memorializ...

As part of the soundtrack of a theatre performance, I came across this obscure electronic track, which was perfect for the performance. I want to share it with you.

A digital illustration based on a photo of Lori Winston, the June 1964 Playboy Playmate of the Month. The drawing is rendered in heavy pencil outlines and flat planes of color with colored pencil hatching. Lori is shown reclining by the low steps of a swimming pool, leaning back propped up with her arms behind her. One leg is bent and the other fully extended out for the leg enjoyers. She's turning her head toward the camera with a coquetteish tilt and smile. Her auburn hair is gathered up on her head in a distinctly 1960s way. She is wearing a white t-shirt that covers her down to the top of her thighs and no evidence of any other articles altho you could show this to your grandma and she wouldn't blink. Very chaste. In the bottom right corner under one of Ms. Winston's hands is some orange marker-style script lettering reading 'Maybe it will happen today'.

Thinking of/with antiwar activist A. J. Muste:

Once a reporter asked him, "Do you really think you are going to change the policies of this country by standing out here alone at night in front of the White House with a candle?" A.J. Muste replied softly: "Oh I don't do this to change the country. I do this so the country won't change me.

You can't blame Ed Sheeran for caving in to American stadium owners I suppose. I mean, take these guys in the 60s, they refused to play to racially-segregated audiences in stadiums in the southern states of the USA and who remembers them now?
