this was the bane of homemade-mixtape makers (remember cassettes? ) and it’s still a pain for Playlists

faster is not always better

I understand that the same was sadly true at this time in many (most?) states of the US (Bowers v Hardwick 1986) feel free to add as much further detail as you wish, and/or correct me if I’m wrong

unless you’re Banksy

A Little Respect (1988) If you’re not familiar with 80s pop then this is a great example from songwriting duo Vince Clarke and Andy Bell (‘Erasure’) who released their synth-pop hit 37 years ago it still sounds as lively, fresh and joyful as the day it was recorded - probably why it’s been covered, re-mixed and re-released so many times since enduring songs don’t need to reach #1 (it reached #4 in the UK charts

perhaps he got a joint membership deal with Brad …so he can put his beers on Brad’s tab? 🧐

just tried opening GA (iPad 6 iOS 16.6) and got the above message in a small popup window blocking access (I can’t post it - I “printed” a pdf) This is the content inside the popup window (with the GA page ‘darkened’ in the background and my “logged in” avatar clearly visible): “GA logo Unlock more content Take action to continue accessing the content on thisOpen site View a short ad Site-wide access for 24 hours“ I clicked the “play” button inside the popup as requested to ‘see the ad’ but not much happened so I closed the browser tab and reopened GA with no issue Now I’m concerned the popup was malware and clicking it has installed it on my iPad… Edit to add: It’s just popped up again The only way to clear it is to close the browser tab +reopen. Edit (second): It’s happened again - I give up

hmm, we seem to have lost the penguin’s ‘thoughtful contribution’ - because of the server glitch? probably just as well…

Top Secret! (1984) Val Kilmer’s debut movie role - jeeze, he was a good lookin’ guy I love the prison ‘gay’ gag

yes, sculpting (a la Michelangelo) is removing material that can never be put back, whereas words can always be reinstated after you’ve deleted them - even when the delete key was smashed with extreme relish…

sadly many have no-one to help “pull them up from that”
