Echo & the Bunnymen released Porcupine 40 years ago today. So here's a long thread of videos and other bits and pieces celebrating this magnificent LP, starting with the immense Back of Love
Alongside the album, Echo & The Bunnymen released "Porcupine, An Atlas Adventure", a VHS tape featuring 26 minutes of videos recorded in Liverpool and Iceland in 1983. Here's In Bluer Skies (THREAD)📼 🧵
I think Porcupine sometimes gets overshadowed by the two Bunnymen albums that came immediately before and after, but it's just as great IMHO

As #Kissinger shouted at 1969 football game, "On what theory?"

An alternative possibility—the "Ducks in a Row" approach:
Ambitious but failure averse, #Xi faces strong incentives to max forces before attempting one of (recent) history's greatest gambles.

"Ducks in a Row" model ≠theoretical speculation.
#Xi himself has charged #PLA w/ achieving 2027 "Centennial #Military Building Goal" (#å»ºå†›ä¸€ç™¾å¹´å¥‹æ–—ç›®æ ‡).
DoD: "this would provide Beijing w/ more credible military options in a #Taiwan contingency."

"Ducks in a Row" model allows ZERO room for complacency.
#Xi may well PREFER +-5 years more #PLA prep to attempt max-stakes mark on #history.
But many factors now in play, stakes high, margins thin.
#PRC rhetoric re @SpeakerPelosi trip suggests growing tensions moving forward.

If anyone was expecting Bromley Council actually to reach a decision this evening on the future of The Porcupine, Mottingham they are going to be sorely disappointed as the item has been withdrawn due to the Government issuing new statutory guidance on pavements. What a surprise.
The exact reason can be found at .
The council is now going to bring in an independent traffic consultant. Are decisions ever made by the council or are they experts in kicking decisions into the long grass? #porcupine #mottingham #welovethebluehoarding
#Porcupine vs #Leopard. Porcupines are difficult to hunt as they have needles all over their body. Only few can do that, leopards are one of them. They turn them upside down. But this one is with less experience. Old video from Africa.
Here this one from India. When a leopard killed a porcupine & taking away. This is from last year shot by Zubin.
#Porcupine body contains thousands of quills, upto 30000, which acts as defence mechanism. Each quill has a topical antibiotic. In wild only few can kill a porcupine, #leopards are one of them. But not this time. Video from net. Of this size, from my archives.
