A fairly solid list as these things go, though I find the absence of Tom Waits and Nick Cave is making me grumpy.

Interesting list. My faves are the old timers: Smokey, Stevie, Carole. Joni should be on here, but whatevs. TBH I'm not familiar with the younger names. Maybe I should be, eh? 🎶 👍 😁 #Music #Songwriting #History https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/magazine/greatest-american-songwriters-alive.html

@DJDarren @7sleepersmusic @daveybot we have Twycross relatively nearby, with a vast selection of apes (and snow leopards, giraffes, tapir, etc.)

The Orangs are *super* chill, the gorillas are chill until they’re not, and they get the zoomies. The chimps are basically eating, fucking or wanking constantly.

They truly are our closest relatives.

Seems to be hundreds (thousands?) of books with "Guide for the Perplexed" somewhere in their title. Guessing that #Maimonides got there first, circa 12th century, yes? #Books #Literature #Politics #Philosophy https://www.harpercollins.com/products/muskism-quinn-slobodianben-tarnoff

@7sleepersmusic @DJDarren Gibbons are my favourite, whenever I see them. They move at incredible pace and with absolute ease. It's a thrill to see such coordination and mastery of momentum, every time.
