There is too much good music to worry about knowing "hit songs" or to care what anyone thinks about them. One benefit of being old and listening to a lot of music is learning about music itself, its cultural history and amazing varieties. Music is a dynamic practice, not just mass-market hits.

Anyone compiling a list of the world's most civilised countries would put one that had virtually universal gun ownership but no universal health care pretty close to the bottom. How did Americans, or anyone else, get the idea that they were nation to be admired?

I've invented a temporary new word. It's a 'swor'. It stand for 'something worthless or rude'. So you might say 'I don't give/care a SWOR' about something, if you're being derogatory. Bear with me.

Noticing that Googlemaps still has the lower half of Lake Ontario labelled (in brackets, here in Europe) as 'Lake America', I wondered if they might consider renaming the southern half of Lake Superior as 'Lake Inferior'. In brackets, of course. We must have consistency.

My first memory of Rod Liddle was loathing him for ruining the game show 'Call My Bluff' after being appointed 'chairman'. In the course of time I realised he was immensely more unpleasant than that. I never found anything about him I could describe as a 'redeeming feature'.

TIP OF THE DAY
Ask yourself why SIX years after the pandemic.
Republicans suddenly
decided to go after Dr. Fauci?
It's because there's poop in your lettuce, salmonella in your eggs, zorms in your beel. and they need something to distract their followers from their incompetence
Thanks

I have come to find that when trying to talk to people who are not eternally online and especially older ones, swearing can still be a taboo. So I have made a conscious decision to refer to them all as rotters who are rotten and are rotting our world. The far right ones get called Tommyrotters.
Screenshot from Oxford Learner's Dictionary 

tommyrot noun

ideas, statements or beliefs that you think are silly or not true

SYNONYM nonsense

Imagine a country so depraved that court-ordered restitution for a rape victim was argued all the way to the Supreme Court. Imagine a country so corrupt that the rapist is the president and the country doesn’t remove him.
