In honour of #NeilTheSeal & his joyful anarchic spirit, @thatsneate.bsky.social offers this pic from our visit to the (northern) elephant seals at Drakes Beach, Pt Reyes, a year or so ago. Please make memes.

Two elephant seals submerged up to their necks in water, in apparent conversation. One looks as if he’s smiling, the other has their head throw back and mouth open as if enjoying a good laugh.

A true L.A. story: Within a year of moving to L.A. I stopped at a red light on Sunset Blvd one afternoon. In the car next to mine was David Hockney, fag in mouth, unmistakable spectacles. I smiled at him, we exchanged a brief, barely perceptible British nod, the light changed & we went on our ways.

I do blame Trump for the Knicks stuff by the way. He’s such a unique vibesmonster. Just a succubus of any and all joy. A sleep paralysis demon that takes anything that looks like light and turns it into the visage of death. He is intent on haunting anywhere happiness appears for even a second.

Highly recommended: the always inspiring and inspired @simonreynolds.bsky.social discussing his forthcoming book 'Still in a Dream: Shoegaze, Slackers and the Reinvention of Rock, 1984–1994' on the great Word in Your Ear podcast.

I saw it happen.

I knew right away.

They just kept coming at him time and time again.

It seemed to go on and on.

It just ended up in a terrible frenzy.

She pulled it out of a bag.

She was screaming and she was waving something in her right hand. I don’t know why, but I thought that it was a wig. She was waving this.

It was as if she was drawing wild shapes in the air with it. As she passed us, I could see that it wasn’t a wig.

"A lady, who might have been a doctor, brought a huge yellow umbrella to protect him from the sun. I remember thinking that this gesture seemed pointless, ridiculous even. But at the same time, it was a gesture full of humanity." "Beyond Words" by Wilson Neate (@thatsneate.bsky.social) / Now at AC

Ladies & gentlefriends — Is this the last Caramac in the world? At least it must be the last Caramac in North America. Carefully brought by hand from the UK about two years ago, days before the discontinuation announcement. Treasured since then in the “secret stockpile” section of our larder. 🧵
