I love Naked Eyes' work from when they were still a duo, but I absolutely adore this acoustic version of "When the Lights Go Out" from 2007's FUMBLING WITH THE COVERS. I don't care that it's effectively a solo Pete Byrne recording. I just know it's gorgeous. www.youtube.com/watch?v=adq2...

Can't remember if I shared this already, but I don't care. Here's an impulse ebay purchase that I'm still tickled with: the issue of National Geographic that inspired the "whaddya want from me" line from Goodfellas, which is probably a top-10 movie line for me.
The article "Where the River Shannon Flows" from National Geographic. There's a picture with the article. One dog goes one way, and the other dog goes the other way. And this guy’s saying, “Whaddaya want from me?”

Nashville International Airport is set to be renamed to honor Dolly Parton after a unanimous vote by the local airport authority. Once the effort clears all the hurdles, it will make Nashville one of the few major cities in the U.S. with an airport named after a woman. trib.al/feFqYJV

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).
A crescent Moon seen during the day, arcing from upper left to lower right of the frame. At lower centre is the full disk of Jupiter; the small dots to its upper left and lower right and Io and Ganymede, respectively.

RIP. I saw Dolly live in 2016 at Forest Hills Stadium. She played for two plus hours and told genuinely funny (or sad) stories between songs throughout. The crowd was strikingly diverse — country heads, queers, old hipsters, and she made time to acknowledge everyone.

I don’t actually blame her. But media companies need to be responsible and check whether such stories stand up. Poverty is a real problem in the Uk. Let’s not falsify it.

I will die on the hill of, once a player is in motion for a penalty kick, they must continue forward momentum. This stop/start shit is unfair, & unless I care a shit ton about the team, I laugh my ass off when someone (yes, even him) does it & misses. The keeper has a hard enough job. Ridiculous.

Graphic design is my passion.
A sign that has two concentric rings of text but it's laid out in a confusing way so it looks like the first sentence is "it's against the law to keep alcohol out of the hands of youth" and the second sentence is "supply alcohol to minors."
