Stumbled across this photo and got instantly transported back to the late ’70s and early ’80s. Pretty sure this was my first handheld game — the one I actually owned myself 😁

@stephenrobles.com Hi Stephen. Been trialing a lot of podcast apps over the last few weeks as i’m looking for a 2nd one to use as well as Overcast. Not sure if you have tried it yourself but Castamatic came out top for me. castamatic.com

Castamatic’s now playing screen showing episode 622 of Upgrade+ — the members-only private feed — about 22 minutes in with nearly 90 minutes still to go, playing at 1.25x speed.

The pope had the immense pleasure of meeting my son earlier this week 😁

A close-up from the papal audience showing the younger curly-haired man in a navy suit and patterned tie speaking and gesturing with both hands as the Pope, in his white cassock and zucchetto, listens attentively, with clergy and an attendant holding a gift visible in the background.

The younger curly-haired man in a navy suit and patterned red tie shakes hands and shares a warm smile with the Pope, who is dressed in his white cassock, zucchetto and pectoral cross, during the same private papal audience, with clergy and an attendant looking on in the marble-walled Vatican room.

A formal group portrait from a papal audience in an ornate, gold-walled Vatican reception hall, with the Pope seated centrally in his white cassock alongside a senior clergyman in a magenta sash, surrounded by a large delegation of around 40–50 people — a mix of clergy in black cassocks and lay attendees in suits, suggesting an academic or advisory body being received.

I love my two pictures i got for Christmas 24 ☺️

This photo features two pieces of framed graphic art displayed on a blue wall, celebrating vintage audio technology. The art style is minimalist and retro, using a bold color palette of red, white, and black.

I’m liking the Apple Music widget on my home screen.

6 games in. Won 5, drawn 1. Certainly not getting carried away, just enjoying it, a lot, while it lasts 😊 #football #utb #middlesbroughfc

Talking of great new releases, CMAT has just dropped her new album and as expected, it's a cracker. #music

A woman in a bright blue outfit poses dramatically inside a fountain, with a giant 1 Euro coin as part of the water feature. The scene is surreal, set in a shopping mall courtyard with colorful storefronts and exaggerated, almost cartoon-like details.

It's really wonderful to see that Edwyn Collins has released a new album, Nation Shall Speak Unto Nation, especially after his catastrophic stroke back in 2005. It's also very good. #music

The image shows an album cover for Edwyn Collins, featuring a circular emblem with a radio tower and lightning bolts, surrounded by the words “Nation Shall Speak Unto Nation.” The background is made of wooden textures arranged in radiating segments, giving a sunburst effect.

Released 27 years ago, and it still sounds incredible. One of my all-time favourite albums, which I still play regularly. It's just a shame they only ever made the one. If you have never listened to it, you owe it to yourself to have a listen. youtu.be/DL7-CKirWZE?si=l6kjb... #NewRadicals #music

The image shows the cover art for the band New Radicals.

It features a person dressed in black pants, a black shirt, and a bucket hat, sitting with legs stretched forward toward the camera. The soles of their sneakers are prominently visible in the foreground, one with a visible barcode. The background is bright yellow with radiating sunburst lines, giving it an energetic, retro feel. The text “New Radicals” is centered across the person, with “New” in black and “Radicals” in white.

This cover is famously associated with their 1998 album Maybe You’ve Been Brainwashed Too.

Sometimes you need to sit back, relax and be grateful.

The photo shows a peaceful pond surrounded by lush green trees and weeping willows under a partly cloudy sky. In the foreground, a person sits fishing on the bank near tall grass, enjoying the tranquil scene.

Really love Sam Fenders new album. The guy is going places (if already not there) The album cover of this single is from the wonderful North East photographer, Tish Murtha. Taken in 1978. Part of the Elswick Kids Series. (Elswick is a district in Newcastle) #music youtu.be/3triLkS0nq4?...

This black-and-white photo is a candid street scene from the 1970s in a working-class urban area - a district in Newcastle.
It shows a schoolgirl jumping on the bonnet of a wrecked car.

It's fair to say that when The Cure's new album dropped last November, it was met with universal acclaim. After setting it aside for about six months and giving it another listen, I can confidently say it's still an absolutely fucking phenomenal album. #TheCure #Music

The image shows a music streaming app screen displaying The Cure’s album Songs Of A Lost World, released on November 1, 2024, with the track “Alone” currently selected for playback.

Absolutely gutted to hear about Jim Prime. Deacon Blue have meant so much to me over the years, and Jim’s playing was such a huge part of their sound. One of the founding members, there right from the start in 1985. RIP Jim — you’ll be so missed. #DeaconBlue #Music

The photograph is a black-and-white portrait of a man, James Prime. He is wearing a dark suit jacket over a dark shirt. He is seated and looking directly at the camera with a gentle, calm expression and a slight smile. His right hand is resting on his forehead, partially covering the top of his head, giving the image a reflective, intimate feel. The background is plain and softly lit, keeping the focus entirely on him. The overall mood of the image is warm and contemplative.

#NowPlaying Released September 1991.

This is the album cover for Of the Heart, of the Soul and of the Cross: The Utopian Experience by P.M. Dawn. The image features two members of the group dressed in colorful, ornate clothing, standing and squatting on an icy, surreal landscape of glaciers and calm waters. The visual emphasizes a mystical, almost spiritual aesthetic that matches the album’s title and genre-blending, introspective tone.

The new animated Predator movie, Killet Of Killers was excellent . Shouldn't be surprised as Dan Tractenberg was the director. He also directed another great Predator movie in Prey. Cannot tell you how much i enjoyed it. Visually looked stunning too. I cannot recommend it enough. #movies

A bloodied katana pierces a broken Captain America-style shield oozing green Predator blood, surrounded by bullet casings, promoting Predator: Killer of Killers—a June 6 release on Disney+.
