Can't help but notice that today's musicians are a lot less focused on pumping things up (volume, jam, etc) than their forebears. Continuing to monitor the situation.

Saw a thing saying take a test to find which character from The Simpsons you are. I don't need to take a test, I can say pretty definitively that I am not in The Simpsons.

NEW How the BBC turned the litigation table on Trump The president now faces a dilemma about revealing his business records By me at @prospectmagazine.co.uk www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/th...
And so in another splendid Order in this case, the court sided firmly with the BBC. Nothing in the litigation rules means that disclosure can be delayed. Trump’s lawyers wanted to hide behind an “expert report” at trial setting out the purported damage. But the court said the documents need to be produced now.

Trump’s representatives even contended that producing the business records would be “overbroad” even though they are claiming an astronomical amount of damage to Trump’s commercial interests. Trump and his lawyers essentially wanted it both ways: to mount a wide-ranging damages claim but with the narrowest range of produced documents to support that claim. The court said no.

As with many other things to do with Trump, this case smacks of bluster but little tactical (and still less strategic) thought. What seemed a powerful first move was not really thought through. Trump presumably assumed the BBC, like other entities he has brought suits against, would simply fold. But the BBC also said no.

FWIW my take on Nolan's #Odyssey is here sententiaeantiquae.com/2026/07/24/on-viewing-nolans-odyssey/. Below I provide a summary. 2 principles have guided my wonderings. (i) I've read it as a film, not as a wordy epic poem. (ii) I've opted for generosity over cleverness. Others do the latter better.

Disclaimer: I haven’t read any other reviews though I have listened to the one by Mark Kermode, as well as the accompanying interview with Nolan conducted by Simon Mayo. I’m also acutel…

ALT: An infographic titled "Common MythConceptions: World's most contagious falsehoods" debunks popular myths. Examples include: Napoleon wasn't short; sharks can get cancer; bulls don't hate red; bananas grow on plants, not trees; bats aren't blind; goldfish have more than a 3-second memory; and MSG doesn't cause headaches. Each myth is represented by an icon and a brief explanation. Bubbles vary in size based on the myth's popularity. Created by David McCandless from the "Information is Beautiful" project.
