Hey, I think it's Ghost in the Machine Day 👻🤖

How are you this sunny Superman Saturday? Ready to contemplate the interconnectedness of your mind and body? Ghost in the Machine Day demands debate with a philosophical frame of mind. Or maybe just cute cats.  

Rene Descartes walks into a bar and orders a drink. When he finishes his drink, the bartender asks him if he would like another. Descartes replies, “No, I think not,” and disappears in a puff of logic.


Being Superman Day, I thought I would get a few pics of Tiddly with Streaky the Super Cat. Streaky was up for it but Tiddly decided that soaking up some sunshine on the front window ledge was a better deal. The best laid plans and such.

Today is also National Jerky Day, World Gin Day 🍸, Knit (and Crochet) in Public Day, National Rosé Day 🍷, Red Rose Day 🌹, Peanut Butter Cookie Day🍪 ,  Missing Mutts Awareness Day 🐶, and an assortment of other things. World Naked Bike Ride Day 🚲 has been put off until August.


Some stuff: 

Swallowed by a Whale.

How the Northern Lights are created.

How to survive Euro 2020.

Get yer gob round Biden's Big 'Un. Adam Fleming had a bit of a nibble on Newscast the other night.

President Biden's English Roots.

Get out of town before sundown.

McDonald's win English-only sign case.

Hedd Wyn's nephew dies.

Klepto Kitty paw-back!

Seagull and chips.

Winkle pickers caused Medieval bunions.

Queen's Birthday Honours 2021. There is a bevy of gongs for the Oxford Astra Zeneca team and other folk working on the Covid response in the UK, Prue Leith has been made a dame, Jonathan Pryce gets a knighthood, Lulu is a CBE, Alison Moyet an MBE, Manchester City's Rasheem Sterling gets an MBE, so does Englebert Humperdink, Skin gets an OBE, and Rick Wakeman a CBE. Pie will no doubt be glad to hear that Ruth Wilson gets an MBE for services to drama.

You Back Talk therefore you is.
