An Arena on BBC Four right now about getting 70’s wrestler Kendo Nagasaki to sit for a painting by Peter Blake.
We’re sorely missing television like this these days.

Richard Gere, "Do you really believe what these clowns like Trump, Orban, Netanyahu, Putin, what these guys say?"

"There is a clear mental health crisis going on in the Oval Office right now. He is detached from reality. Every politician and pundit, every journalist...knows this. It should be the biggest story in our media. But, shamefully, it isn’t."

The oligarchy wants full control of what we watch and read.

A tweet from Robert Reich states:
“The richest man on earth owns X.
The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.
The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.
See the problem here?”

Lee Miller exhibition at Tate Britain. The photobooth was only a couple of years old in 1927 - nearly a century later, how many cooler strips are there than Lee’s?

Four photobooth pics enlarged and displayed at Tate Britain. Lee in hat in three photos and without in last with short blonde hair pulled back. She’s wearing fur but will let that pass.

R Veronica just played this and I never tire of retelling the tale, as witnessed by Steve Ellis of Love Affair who was on the same TOTP, of how at the afternoon rehearsal run through all the technicians and camera crew stopped and applauded at the end.

Even if you are leader of the free world, you don’t just get an MRI without a clear reason to do so.

There’s no such thing as a “screening” MRI.

NOAA hurricane hunters flying aboard a P-3 Orion aircraft ("Kermit") are monitoring Hurricane Melissa as most aircraft steer clear. The storm poses a catastrophic threat to Jamaica and Haiti.

The crew are among the many federal workers working without pay during the US government shutdown.

A map image from the Flight Radar 24 service shows the flight track of a NOAA P-3 Orion aircraft flying over the Caribbean Sea, where Hurricane Melissa threatens to bring catastrophic rain and flooding to Jamaica and Haiti. Most other aircraft appear to be steering clear of the area.

We all need to be prepared that an entire country may get wiped off the map. I don’t know how else to properly convey how bad Hurricane Melissa will be to Jamaica

Eric Holthaus @ericholthaus.com · 4h

Melissa now up to 175mph sustained winds (150kt), with a central pressure of 906mb.

That's among the 10 or 12 strongest hurricanes ever measured in the Atlantic basin, back to 1851. Regardless of whether they made landfall.

Melissa is likely to make landfall in Jamaica at near-peak strength.

He's not only confusing measles with chicken pox, he's also getting chicken pox wrong because that shit can turn into shingles and fuck with your nervous system. It's a herpesvirus that goes latent but never leaves your system. I'm a fucking idiot and I know this.
