the tortoise lives, as per helena horton at the guardian

two tweets from helena horton, a journalist at the guardian:
The real Joe isn’t on X and this account is based in the US and connected via the Brazil App Store. Jonathan the tortoise is apparently alive and well.

The governor of St Helena just told me he went outside to check on the tortoise, who was sleeping as it is past his bedtime, but he is very much alive.

The single cover of Frank Ocean's Thinkin Bout You

The single cover art for Jorja Smith's Be Honest

The single cover for Amara La Negra's What A Bam Bam

The single cover for Sofi de la Torre's Vermillion

i just feel like if you rent NORTE online you should get more than 48 hours to finish it. it's a big time commitment!

the rental interface for Lav Diaz's NORTE, which is 251 minutes long

different sides of the same neighborhood

my position in the cluster map, closer to American Leftwing media and comedy than infie music critics and journalists

jay@kuppermann· Feb 9

and my next 4 for #thetenx5 (blurbs for all 8 tk later when I don't have to grade 60 undergrad essays): 46. Sophie - BIPP (2013, UK) 45. Miguel - Adorn (2012, US) 44. Charli XCX ft Christine & The Queens - Gone (2019, UK/France) 43. Don Omar & Lucenzo - Danza Kuduro (2010, US [PR]/France-Portugal)

The cover art for BIPP by Sophie. What a beautiful image.

(A) Single cover for Miguel's Adorn. There were two options and this hurt my eyes less.

Cover art for Charli XCX and Christine & The Queen's Gone. Underrated era for charli aesthetically.

The cover art for Don Omar & Lucenzo's Danza Kuduro. Looks like a timeshare ad.

in arrears for #thetenx5 (i sent a list in); my first 4: 50. Dua Lipa - Don't Start Now (2019, UK-Albania-Kosovo) 49. LCD Soundsystem - Dance Yrself Clean (2010, US; non-single) 48. Mahmundi - Eterno Verão (2015, Brazil) 47. Vampire Weekend ft. Danny Brown, Heems, Despot - Step (Remix) (2013, US)

The single cover for Dua Lipa's "Don't Start Now"; in retrospect, kind of outside of the aesthetic of the broader Future Nostalgia era

The album cover for LCD Soundsystem's This is Happening, featuring lead track Dance Yrself Clean. I thought this was such a cool cover as a 13 year old.

The cover art (probably? this was weirdly hard to track down in a verifiable manner as anything other than a coincidentally square-shaped artist photo) for Mahmundi's Eterno Verão.

The cover art for the remix to Vampire Weekend's Step, featuring Danny Brown, Heems, and Despot.

looks like a 1:1 marcher:journalist ratio

a tweet from @kscottz: The "Pro Billionaire March" in San Francisco looks like a bunch of Libertarian dweebs who stepped out of their Discord server for some fresh air.

Boos and heckling from the parents at the playground with their kids.

[an image of a pro-billionaire march with... sparse attendance. it's beautiful out in SF, though!]

and, at number 9 for #TheTwen2ie5: perhaps the defining one hit wonder of the decade: TOMMY RICHMAN - MILLION DOLLAR BABY (2024, ISO Supremacy) # 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. # 3 on the UK singles chart # 1 on the Global 200, UK Indie Chart, and TikTok Hot 50 annoying as hell. 11 points.
