Yeah. But even kind gatekeepers are still gatekeepers.
The novel Hild and its excellent sequel Menewood by @nicolaz.bsky.social set in 7th c Britain are wonderful and well worth anyone’s time.
Plop
These look great!
I once used a part in my giant crate of possibly useful parts that I had kept just in case for more than 20 years and through a transatlantic move to MacGyver something for my wife. I have never felt as vindicated.
No although I was saddened to see on a walk to the co-op that somebody had sloppily sprayed red crosses on the dashed white road markings (Macclesfield).
Guy I know did "Jessica" at live karaoke and stepped up to the mike at each crescendo only to step back again. It was hilarious (and the Gomers were a great Gomeroke band).
I love the candy corn one
On mission
If your are in/know anyone in France, please help spread the word if possible. My sister-in-law has gone missing. She's been missing for about 18 hours. Here is information from my brother (🧵w/pictures). Please DM me if you have info.
Love it
Although it also delivers a more compact experience, Apple’s answer to IBM’s ThinkPad 701 could use refinement.
and a sax solo in every char topper?

Reggie! (Yes Reggie and Ronnie were named for the infamous Kray brothers.)
She absolutely loathes her brother Reggie who in turn adores her.

Fuuuck. I need a version control for my life.
Hadn’t heard about the Miller’s Crossing change. Seems an odd choice to me but I’m just some shmuck.
Bluesky. I need your help. My oldest said she would play a #TTRPG with me if I could get this post to 1,000 likes. She's played Pathfinder once before and liked it but now she's a teenager so...🤷♀️😂
Mmmmmm…. corrugated….
FYI you have tagged the wrong Jonathan Cook
📌
A calliope in a circus is pronounced “cally-ope” where ope rhymes with hope.
Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!
Not the Jonathan Cook you're looking for
House of Freaks opening for Midnight Oil. Honourable mention to Moon Hooch opening for They Might be Giants.
FYI that is a different Jonathan Cook
Favorite song by a band or artist about another band or artist: “Alex Chilton” by The Replacements. m.youtube.com/watch?v=ftTO...

Oooh. Spider tentacle pot! Lovely. I’m on my third very nice beer (a LOT for me) in Inverness and have suddenly realised I would love to see a fiddler crab-ish pot.
Back when it first appeared, friends and I had a “Water Joe” party. Caffeinated jello, caffeinated soup, end extra caffeinated coffee. Bzzzzzzzz.
And the international shipping works great! Fast, reasonable, and extremely well protected.
Grooming will continue until morale improves.
Not the Jonathan Cook you’re looking for. See my bio for the right guy.
The HanGo PJB-100 was superb. First hard drive mp3 player. Huge. Heavy. Flawless.
Red red robin
I think his is @jonathan-cook.bsky.social
Not the Jonathan Cook you’re looking for.
I hate when zitsuvius forms.
Love this film. When I first saw it, I was a little bit late to the theatre and missed the business with the fly. My resulting confusion was glorious and enriching for the spectacle that followed. Highly recommended for a first viewing!
I am not that Jonathan Cook.
Bravo.
Cackling.
I held my nose and voted Labour last time and regret it so much. And now, what exactly is the offer? Jobs for people currently in power who completely suck and nothing for anyone else? Oh boy.
Someone would have to shake sense into the cabinet first.
It’s so worth it. Mine’s spiky!
Lol. Still remember the first time, as a young Midwestern boy of limited experience, I had a tamale.

Any excuse for Bert Parks.
Yes
Loved this. And it gives me an excuse to repost: m.youtube.com/watch?v=khOf...
Mylar streamers about 2-3’ long seem to freak them out. If you can attach the streamers where they want to be, they’ll go elsewhere.
Oh wow. I remember reading that in Omni as a very young man and having my mind rearranged. Looking forward to it. Thanks for mentioning it!
Buying that run when it came out is how I know I’m old and also blessed.
My own eye troubles led me to read “percussive exfoliation” which, hmmmmmm. Good luck on the surgery. For me it was like a damn miracle.
When my wife, who is British, and I were still dating, she saw one on a walk through Central Park and asked me what it was. I told her she would t believe me but we call it a robin. Then we loved to the UK and I got to deal with wood pigeons.
I gave the wrong address for pot 212! Please see your contact form email for details. Thanks!
When Marty said “Jonestown” I laughed so loud. I needed that bad.
Which reminds me: would you consider a Cyndi Lauper wrestling fan drawing or, better still, painting? I’d be very interested.

Do you think one of your packaged pots would survive shipping, an airplane ride to America, and reshipping? I really want to get a pair and give one to a friend.
A side-project I've been working on for the past couple of years is finally presentable! cabviews.net I find cab ride videos relaxing to watch, and they provide an interesting view of different landscapes and infrastructure, so I made this site as a collection of cab rides with maps of the routes
Love this.
Robbie stands out for how little chart success vs how much effort was put forth to crack the US charts.
Talking Farts
Is the crystal in your palm blinking red?
Much squamous.
The way I cackled at this…
Unmm. What the fuck?
It’s great. I needed a Soderbergh fix and it delivered.
Out of curiosity, is it gone now for you too?
Text in a picture typically can’t be read by an accessible browser. By eg ocring the picture and then pasting as much of the text as possible into the alt text, you increase its accessibility. A jpeg of text isn’t “text”. This isn’t my best explanation ever but I’m tired! Hopefully it helps.
As a US / UK dual citizen, imagine my pride.
LSD (as his licence plate read) was bad in the way republicans used to be bad before they all became psychopaths. But he at least genuinely cared about the UW system. Kasten would have been far worse.
I once brought a case of original Leinies in a carryon (this was a long time ago) to trade for some camera gear.
A great moment in Wisconsin history was a governor’s response to a proposal to build a water pipeline from the Great Lakes to the southwest: “they can have all the water they want so long as it’s processed with barley, malt, and hops and shipped in 12oz cans”.
Starting to think that being governed by the stupidest, most venal dipshits imaginable is bad.
On hold with social security for 31 minutes so far. (58 yesterday before disconnected.) Wondering if they’ve already been fired and u missed it amongst all the other crap.
Jeez. The autumn recession is going to be astonishing.
Wow.
lol I looked for that but couldn’t find it.
Really?!?!? lol. I just remember the porn factoid from the “get Brexit done” debacle and Rees-Mogg on “happier” British fish.
The British porn industry is bigger than British fishing.
“High T” also comes to mind.
MGM+ apparently. And rentable from Apple or Prime.
Now I want a Teddywedger.
Btw if you haven’t noticed, you can now!
This is a fun list but for me, this spot will always be for the Modern Lovers and “Roadrunner”. But I’m old.
Can also mean “our extremely expensive consultants fucked it into the sun on our poorly specified IT procurement”.
Can't hear that phrase without the voice in my head Twilight Zoning "It's a cookbook!!!"
Hmmm. With novels you have the same “team” every time which I imagine must help. Consider bands. The right edge of that distribution is going to be much hotter than for film but probably cooler than for novelists.
Tempest 2000 was pretty cool iirc.
Yes! Jon has been a great sport about this, I didn't expect this post to blow up. He has some other Yuko posts on his page
