Article describes nine-banded armadillos as an "invasive species" 😐 Invading where from where? By crossing a US state border? By crossing from adjacent Mexico, which used to comprise most uf the current US west and southwest. Weird framing.

The Bozo us so toxic he does Ukraine's cause far more harm than good, especially amongst those progressives and left elements already susceptible to Russian narratives

90s throwbacks FTW. In other, noughties, throwback news I was at Dingwalls in Camden Lock to see Sumac* headlining on Friday [*This will mean nowt to people who don't remember Isis and Neurosis] Veh good, and my ears have much recovered.

Venue dark interior, pervading blue light tinge, a trio of guitar band members dimly discernible beyond the heads of a tightly packed audience. The legend "DINGWALLS" written in bluish neon tubingadirns a wall to left of the stage.

He'll want a Volkshalle great dome next. If he tells us it's modelled on Melania's breast whilst he's sundowning, that'll seal the deal

Gigantic faux-classical dome dwarfs its surroundings in a mock-up of Hitler's unrealised plans for a remodelled post-war Berlin.

The occasional fires notwithstanding, there's been live music here since 1973.

Friday evening, lubricated by complementary glass of wine, I enjoyed a talk on the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, at the weird and wonderful Ancient India and Iran Trust. - If ever a dusty, creaky old house was going to be a cover for a fictional MI6 spy operation...🤭

The Ancient India and Iran Trust. Display cabinet of attractive bequested donations, six various copies of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam (part of a vast larger recent bequest), supporting the lecture "HOW EASTERN THINKING INFLUENCED WESTERN CULTURE: THE STORY OF THE RUBÁIYÁT OF OMAR KHAYYÁM"
