Twitter and World Cup chaos, Jaco Pastorius, gruesome 18th C combat and other matters of high import

On the radar this week in an enquiring, celebratory or goat-getting capacity …

… has the World Cup balloon already been unmendably punctured?

… and is the same thing happening to Twitter?

… “if social media had come along earlier would Sergeant Pepper exist?”

… Richard Osman-created fictional sleuth or rock stars’ real names: you decide.

… a chance meeting with Jaco Pastorius.

… speaker-testing moments of bass guitar brilliance.

… the general public armed with a mouse are infinitely crueller and more aggressive than the very worst journalists: discuss.  

… plus two thousand years of gruesome mortal combat.
