I vaguely remember this, yes. But I really don't think I am going to be able to remember the brand, which may no longer exist in any case.

Is anyone still trying to read anything into Trump's ravings?

Looks like segregation between male and female choir members. I’m sure there will be outrage in the right-wing press

Maybe it’s the child that has to have ID, given that it is entering the United States?

Tarantino’s ‘From Dusk to Dawn’ felt like the longest night of my life.

Absolutely! Neither should have driven on the payment but I do accept that the one was dealt with more leniently than the other.

I can't say exactly why, but the fact that this was an ebike makes me more disapproving of the rider. Somehow riding a motorised vehicle on the pavement (apart from a mobility scooter) seems more irresponsible. Could also be that a Lime bike went into me on the pavement as I stepped off a bus.

Is there an option to do the reverse process. I mean like, create a more difficult version of Ullyses, for example. I like a challenge.

Correction : as any librarian will know, Dewey 420-429 covers the range of topics concerning the English language. I was just testing.

I feel obligated to point out that I just made this up. It may or may not have been in the mind of the writer or director.

I get the sense now, that Americans who are living in London are assumed to be political exiles and deserving of sympathy and solidarity.

John Heyderman @johnheyderman.bsky.social · 28/02/2026

Yes, I am just about old enough to remember that! I was also on the anti-war demonstration, which I think is still the largest ever to have to have tken place in the UK. But, while there was a lot of anti-American feeling, I don't think there was feeling against Americans. I mean as individuals.

John Heyderman @johnheyderman.bsky.social · 28/02/2026

Sorry, now I read this I understand that you were suspected of being a Republican! To be honest, I think there's a vein of anti-Americanism in the UK that goes back to 1775.

John Heyderman @johnheyderman.bsky.social · 28/02/2026

Londoner here. You're clearly not, nor have you ever been suspicious, let alone terrible. But I don't understand (a) what kind of accent you have that might cause suspicion and (b) why coming from NY would allay such unfounded and irrational suspicions. I mean, nothing against New Yorkers, but...

One for all my cataloguer followers. Please respond in MARC 21.

400 covers all (non-English) languages so maybe the implication of the classification is that a gun is 'the only language they understand.'

I've just realised that if you can sing "algorithm" to the Gershwin classic "I Got Rhythm" and I don't know what to do with this amazing discovery.

John Heyderman @johnheyderman.bsky.social · 25/02/2026

Reminds me of the scene in "Cabaret" where Brian says to a man describing an "international conspiracy of Jewish bankers and Communists." "lt's also an established fact that there exists another well-organized group of which you're obviously a member: The lnternational Conspiracy of Horses' Asses"

And all this could collapse due to a cyberattack, some future regime carrying out an Iran-style internet blackout or just some catastrophic failure. I think we should be more worried about this (2/2)

Last night, due to a fault on my home landline, I had no internet access. Mobile reception inside my flat is very poor so I couldn't use tethering. It's surprising how much I rely on the internet for so many things, from listening to the radio to ordering a library book to checking an address.

But if not money, then what? Wondering how Epstein corrupted so many people who seemingly didn't really need his money. Was it his charm? Did he have a knack for manipulation, perhaps based on feeding people's egos? I can't bring myself to believe these people had utruistic motivations.

Also a German Jew, it's almost impossible not to feel a deep, instinctive kinship with others. When I was a child I came across a picture of my older brother holding up his hands as a German soldier pointed a rifle at him. Except it wasn't my brother at all, but one of the victims of the Shoah.

Is this a case of "orginal sin" vs. "yetzer hara?"

I've never read Moses and Monotheism but can it be coincidence that he was struck down dead shortly after writing it?

I'm coming to think that Reform, unlike other parties, actually want to bring in policies that are specifically UNpopular, so long as they are unpopular with the kind of liberal-minded, compassionate people they despise.

That would be fun. I always take the same route up from one end of Peckham Rye Common, through the Park, then Homestall Road, Marmora Road, Brenchley Gardens, it's like climbing Everest.

tbf, the East Dulwich Mother and Toddler Critical Das Kapital Reading Group that meets the second Thursday of the month at Boulangerie Jade consider McAsh to have radically misunderstood the dialectical relation between production and the circulation of capital.
