#ArtistFaveNonAlbumSingles 11 #MusicChallenge Kirsty MacColl - They Don’t Know (1979) youtu.be/ACa4TlVod_w?... It’s a shame that another artist’s cover seems better known than Kirsty’s original. She wrote even better later on, but this is still perfect pop. Fond memories of her singing it live!

They’re a masterpiece in themselves! The episode is up there with “Trials and Tribble-ations” as an ultimate comfort watch for me. “Tiny fists… not so lethal.” 😂🥹

As usual with these YouTube things, the headline is grossly misleading. Stafford Smith is only asked briefly if Christa Pike could be released, & while he concedes it’s not impossible, he does think it very unlikely. It’s not really what the interview is about.

A joyful celebration of a bonkers but wonderful season of #StarTrek. Even the silliest or most “out there” episodes had some deeply touching, moving aspects, without detracting from the weirdness or hilarity, & for me, the puppet episode alone would have made the whole season worthwhile! 🖖🏽

I’ve spent a week following the story of Christa Pike, & what I’ve learned about state torture & murder in the US has upset & horrified me. Im full of admiration for Clive Stafford Smith & other death row lawyers; I can’t imagine how they cope, but every life saved is a win. youtu.be/VpxhhLY2S2Q?...

Honestly, it’s so amazing! I loved Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell as well, but Piranesi (apart from being much shorter) is so deeply personal somehow. Mystifying at first, but it’s like a puzzle & eventually it makes perfect sense in the most wonderful way.

Despite my addiction to Outlander clips on YouTube, I can’t relate to Claire *choosing* to live in the 18th century, no matter how much in love she is. Apart from all the other horrors, just learning from @adapalmer.bsky.social that everyone pre-1920s had lice would be a total deal breaker. 😱

It’s completely unique & original, an utter page-turner, & of all the books I’ve read in the last ten years, probably the one that touched my heart the most. It still haunts me, in a good way! Also, Chiwetel Ejiofor narrates the audiobook perfectly. #Piranesi #Booksky

Banning a booke ys extinguishing a beacon. Banning a booke ys silencinge a thousand voyces speakinge yn the heart. Banning a booke ys refusinge to looke at the stars. Banning a booke ys damming a streame of feelinge and invitinge flood. Banning a booke ys making a violent litel shryne to ignorance.
