Here's today's column on the astonishing, ongoing mistreatment of people with #ME/CFS. Please spread it far and wide: the only thing which can break the media's wall of indifference is seeing an article about the issue go viral. Thank you. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Abandoned, dismissed and gaslighted: there is no excuse for the way ME sufferers have been betrayed | George Monbiot
Changes in guidance and science seem to have little impact on millions of devastated lives. It’s a social crisis playing out behind closed doors, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Sad for the reason, but it’s been so lovely seeing the massive outpouring of love for Sam Neill today. The world was a nicer place with him in it. We should all live a life where people are sad when we’ve gone.

Evening viewing recommendation? Watch David Lynch's THE STRAIGHT STORY (1999)! Between the dark surrealism of his LA-set neonoirs, Lynch took a detour to America's heartland for this surprisingly down-to-earth and heartfelt road movie- the film he described as "my most experimental."

A song. A monthly cheque. A musician who had treated the dead — and the dead men's children and grandchildren — like they mattered. A man from Orillia, Ontario. A song the whole world sang.

"Bogie was a medium sized man, not particularly impressive off-screen, but something happened when he was playing the right part. Those lights and shadows composed themselves into another, nobler personality: heroic, as in 'High Sierra'." John Huston on Humphrey Bogart.

The passing of Moya Brennan is a significant moment for Ireland. Her voice, carved from the beauty of her native Donegal, is the essence of this country itself, intangible and undefinable. A beautiful artist taken too early. Much love and condolences to her family and friends.

Apart from everything else he did, Johnnie Walker *stayed out there* after August 1967. Most of the pirate stations closed; he carried on. Loved his music, loved his audience. Cared about both, deeply. He'll be missed.
