I went full bougie baby.
Solid pine dresser, a couple of bedside cabinets, and an antique bed which was way cheaper than it should have been.
All in? £260.
And a fancy-pants mattress arrives on Tuesday.

A far-right Israeli minister has visited and prayed at Jerusalem’s most sensitive holy site, sparking regional condemnation. The visit by Itamar Ben-Gvir threatens to escalate tensions and complicate international efforts to halt Israel’s nearly two-year military offensive in Gaza. Palestinian leaders, along with Jordan and Saudi Arabia, have condemned the visit as incitement. The visit followed Hamas' release of videos showing emaciated Israeli hostages that have caused an uproar in Israel. Meanwhile, hospitals in Gaza say 33 more Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire while seeking food aid. Israel faces global criticism over famine-like conditions in the besieged strip.
L’armée israélienne est consommatrice d'OpenAI : outils de traduction,GPT-4 , un outil de speech-to-text et un autre d’analyse automatique de documents.
Si l’armée a commencé à souscrire à GPT-4, le système d’OpenAI, dès août 2023,+ 972 Magazine constate que son usage a été multiplié par 20 depuis octobre 2023, comparé à la période pré-conflit. Auprès du média, un porte-parole d’OpenAI indique la société « n’a pas de partenariat avec l’armée israélienne ». Les clauses d'Open AI interdisant l’usage de ses systèmes pour des activités « militaires ou guerrières » ont par ailleurs été supprimées discrètement en janvier 2024.

Today's #SWBDailySong is one of the best album closers I've heard, and a beautifully bittersweet voyage.
Guess what time it is!
Announcement time! Spread the word, gang!

Any #LCDSoundsystem fans here?
I've been listening to them since #SoundOfSilver, after initially not paying too much attention to the first album. That one and #ThisIsHappening are probably my favourite ones.
I managed to get the Long Goodbye box set last year (finally, thanks #DFA), but I'm a bit miffed that it's supposed to be played on two turntables. Not everyone has that option.
Anyway, I think my favourite recording of them is probably Movement from that box set:
