I saw a guy zooming along the road at high speed on an electric scooter. He was wearing a crash helmet. Later on I spotted a woman also riding her scooter on the road. Her pace was a little more measured, and instead of a crash helmet she had long pink hair.

When you're a young child, you spontaneously take part in roll playing games with your friends. In the adult world millions are spent and great effort is involved in recreating a make-believe world on stage and screen. A whole sector of the economy is dedicated to it.

There is a long tradition in European art in portraying happiness; with Albert Marquet's depiction of the Dune de Pyla near Arcachon, on France's Atlantic coast (1935) he has created a picture the mind can play in.

I admit to not having read Les Misérables or The Hunchback of Notre-Dame but I learned today that two million plus people attended Victor Hugo's funeral procession.

@Affinity Thanks for this.

Request: I'd like a way to override the interface's rounded corners on MacOS Tahoe.

Right now in Tehran, regime forces are firing at Iranians shouting anti-regime slogans from their windows.

Bible: A sinful nation can sinfully attack another sinful nation and the attack, ultimately, be reckoned as God's judgement. The attacking nation, however, will have to face its own reckoning if it becomes arrogant.

“We've got five years – that's all we've got!" wails Mr Bowie in the background. The coffee drinkers ignore him and carry on with their conversations.

We are attracted to the idea of The Doomed Young Man. He dies and yet he lives on. He spoke to us and expressed something we could identify with and so, representing us, we live through him vicariously. 🤔

@williamnhutton Hmm. Seems pretty anodyne to me apart from, perhaps, the final sentence.

If, after struggling to get to sleep for most of the night, you finally get there, only to be rudely awakened by your alarm, you experience: 1) Great annoyance 2) What a remarkable thing it is to be buried in the depths of sleep. An ocean of rest. A veiled hint of 'Paradise'.

'Child in the Sun.' (1869) Trained in Naples, Giuseppe de Nittis settled in Paris in 1868, and there he befriended many of the French Impressionists, particularly Degas who taught him how to depict the changing play of light on a subject or a scene.

This is tonight in Tehran.
People have taken over the streets. Iran is still under a total blackout.
Only very few people have access to Starlink, and the regime is actively trying to jam and disrupt it.
Despite everything, the streets are alive and the world is being kept in the dark.
People are chanting:
"Until the mullahs are dead, this homeland will not be free."

Correct.

Yesterday it was 2024. Today it is 2025. Tomorrow will be 2026, presumably.

It hadn't really occured to me before that it was Lennon taking the solos.

[🎸 Rock History 🎸 @historyrock_]

The Beatles performing at their legendary rooftop concert in London (1969)

They played for 42 minutes before being stopped by the police.

It was John, Paul, George, and Ringo’s final public performance as The Beatles. What a legendary moment.
