And John Higgs 'The KLF' anniv. edition is so brilliant I've now special-ordered 3 copies from the USA, incl. for @Lachtoday & Clif Campbell as birthday prezzies.

I too once spent an evening (several actually) with Robert Anton Wilson circa 1995. We must discuss some day 😉

ZOMG! This made my year 😁 I was going to tweet and ask if there was any chance the extra #DoctorWho material cut from 'The KLF' might be made available. For me, that's one of the most brilliant parts of the book. And now we have this excellent news! Well done 😉 #JohnHiggs

Also thx Andy Miller & John Mitchinson for turning me on to brilliant John Higgs! I listened to uproarious Echo & The Bunnymen segment FOUR TIMES in 'Summer Reading' ep. Saw the band many times in the 80s, so had to find a copy of the new 'The KLF' ed. here in the States 👏

Thanks Andy Miller for great 'Galápagos' Backlisted Podcast episode. You and I are major Douglas Adams fans. Particularly enjoyed Adams/Vonnegut connection as I feel 'Sirens of Titan' had some influence on 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.' All good stuff! #patreonsupporter

After a storied career as a lawmaker, governor and U.N. ambassador, Bill Richardson, who died late Friday at 75, became something of a guru in the white-knuckle world of international hostage negotiations. wapo.st/3PppGGq

You know things are bad when a major #science contributor and original content provider like Phil (Newsletter link in bio) Plait announces he is leaving Twitter -- or 'Xitter' as he calls it. A strong comment on how far this once-excellent platform has fallen.

Farewell Jamie Reid, one of the most influential #artists of the 20th century. Unless you're an avid #punkrock fan you many not know his name, but you do know his work.
