I just read this remarkable chronicle of John & Paul's bromance and creative partnership, wonderfully written and documented by @ianleslie.bsky.social. No matter how much you think you know about The Beatles, this book will provide new insights.
A picture of the book ‘John & Paul: A Love Story in Songs’, written by Ian Leslie. Paperback edition. Above the title it says: ‘The Sunday Times bestseller’.

A little thread: Science is defiantly anti-fascist because it pursues truth, is necessarily collaborative, and relies on open communication. And because its falsifiability is incompatible with the cultism, faith-based belief systems, disinformation, and propaganda of Christian nationalism.

Well after a few weeks using @kagi.com as my primary search engine—& their Orion browser on desktop & mobile—I decided to subscribe. It’s genuinely incredible having *straightforward, capable search* again—no adware to wade through, no AI summary at the top (it’s 100% optional)—just relevant results

Orion from @kagi.com is awesome! It's built on the same foundations as Safari, but it's faster, snappier, and it has containers to log in simultaneously to different social accounts. I love everything about it except for the icon. Too much AI vibes, which is odd for a Kagi product.

We believe AI in Kagi should always be useful: there when you want it, gone when you don't, and never at the cost of your privacy. YOU are in control of your search engine - so now you can turn off AI in Kagi Search completely, with one switch. Try it: kagi.com --> Settings --> AI

So this is officially a fucking war. Threads (one of Zuckershit's silo platforms) has blocked @pckt.blog for no reason at all. They don't want an open web; they want your data and your attention to sell ads. Anyone still using anything Meta is complicit in this shit. Fuck Zuckerberg so very much.
