Another all too clear example of the corrupt nature of English Premier League football. The whole thing stinks

The @premierleague’s continued hammering of EFC for PSR breaches already declared to have yielded no sporting advantage is so wildly out of kilter with its gentle slap on the wrist for Chelsea (and as yet nothing at all for City) as to be laughable. Corruption in plain sight.

This morning it's a bit more Hartmut Rosa this morning, accompanied by some of Keith Jarrett's finest and strong, fresh coffee. Bliss

Many happy returns to Bob Dylan, who came into the world as Robert Allen Zimmerman on May 24, 1985 in Duluth, Minnesota. Eighty five years old today, and still busy being born.

This morning it's strong fresh coffee, Mingus' The Black Saint and Hartmut Rosa's 'Social Acceleration'. To be followed by as long as walk as I can manage (who knows?) in the spring sunshine

Cut off from vinyl for a little while, so it's CDs and streaming for the next few days. Listening to this belter, the uplifting sounds of which are counteracting today's reading which is Anne Case and Angus Deaton's hugely important, but depressing, Deaths of Despair
