Back in London for another full nerdy rockout with my beloved blue blur. I have friends I only ever see at these events – we’ve been gathering and catching up every few years for nearly two decades now. It’s like our own personal 7 Up series. It’s lovely. 💙 #SonicLive

Keza’s not wrong – I’ve never given this series a second glance before, but now really want to give AC8 a try. (Although maybe saying “it’s like Top Gun Maverick!” was all it took 😅)

Okay so @defector.com has had an odd glitch since the site redesign a couple of weeks back where the wrong photo and headline are often put together on the main page and I was going to ask them about fixing it but this just happened and as far as I'm concerned they have to leave it as is.

Screenshot for a Defector podcast episode with the headline "Consider the Emotional Lives of Scallops" only the accompanying photo is a white gormless stubbled red-headed UK singer of recent notoriety giving a flat smile to the camera while wearing a washed out peach top as beige as he is against a flat background. So, actually, probably a scallop anyway.

100%. For those unfamiliar, Van Halen had a line in their rider that essentially said “no brown M&Ms.” It was a way to see if the promoter had actually read the contract. They had a shitload of gear to tour with, so if they’re skipping one thing, it’s guaranteed they’re skipping something essential.

Reform is the richest party in Britain. Its leaders are almost all millionaires. It is funded almost exclusively by billionaires. It has a supportive TV station and widespread media backing. So naturally, this donation comes with the usual attack on "elites". www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

here's the thing: you'd ask this in a History exam cos "what impact" covers lots of elements from the effect on the language, the nobility, art, etc etc etc. this isn't a yes/no/idk answer, this is an ESSAY question. there's no meaning or worth this as put forward. tremendously silly waste of money
