Journalist Hossam Shabat reports that an airdropped parcel struck a solar panel at Al-Ahly Baptist Hospital. The solar panel was one of the few and decreasing ways the hospital accessed a modicum of electricity. Now its ability to treat patients is diminished even further. Hossam writes,
In today's airdrop failures, supplies were dropped by the Baptist Hospital, causing damage to the hospital's solar panels, which play a vital role in generating electricity. I have mentioned it before, and I will say it again, these airdrops are chaotic, dangerous, humiliating, killing people and destroying our very few resources left, we deserve for aid to enter in a safe dignified way.

Responding to the Lifetime Achievement Award announcement, Rea said: "So much of Irish culture has been recovered and reimagined. Music, language, literature, theatre.
Tumblr media
Stephen Rea will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award
"And cinema can be added to that list because of the special energy of John Boorman who produced Neil Jordan's first film Angel. And to my astonishment, my first film too. Neil thrust the script and a saxophone into my hands and suddenly I was in the movies. Well, one really original movie, which was at the beginning of a new confidence in Irish cinema.
"And now many films later, IFTA have, equally surprisingly, offered me a Lifetime Achievement Award. A lifetime of collaboration with the most generous and creative artists you could ever work with. And hang out with. Thanks to all of them. Thank you IFTA."

Leslie Fish lives!!!

She stopped going to Pennsic when I started going in the mid-nineties, so I've never seen her in person. But her filk and Heather Alexander's certainly shaped my college years and community (along with Dar Williams).

Live Review: Tapir! at YES in Manchester 20 March 2024
Words: Andy Hughes Right – cards on the table – I bet me and the missus were the only ones in the crowd at Tapir! on Wednesday night at YES who’d met an actual tapir. Two in fact. Most Certainly the only one who’s who’d met a family of capybaras… As it turned out though, I don’t think such a gloat was a requirement for entry as when we opened the door to the basement, it was to a literal wall of…

Tubbo: [Singing] I miss my Minecraft Egg so much. I am building because wtf am I supposed to do for the rest of my days? Because my Minecraft Egg's a coma and not awake. I miss my Minecraft Egg so much because what am I supposed to do with all this time? It's- making me blue. I wish my Minecraft Egg would wake the fck up! [Takes damage] Ow.
It's just a hunch, but I think Tubbo might be missing Sunny guys.

Live Review: Folly Group at YES in Manchester 14 March 2024
Words: Andy Hughes It’s funny to think that such a memorable live gig experience involved being hardly able to see the actual band. Such was the case the last time (and maybe first time) I saw Londoners Folly Group, back in 2021 at Manchester Psych Fest. Downstairs in the basement of The Ritz, in a part of the venue I only knew existed seconds before entering the room, I squeezed into the space…

Pac: Do you know that Bagi and Empanada, they created a mafia?
Tina: WHAT?
[Several minutes later]
Tina: You could've lied, Pac. You could've lied. Do you think I'm stupid? Do you think I'm gonna let you get away with this?

Tina went through an entire character arc during her conversation with Pac about the Pancake Mafia today!
