Ken Burns' 12-hour documentary series THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION starts tonight on PBS.

"None of this happens anywhere else but PBS," Burns said. "Nobody else is going to give us ten years to build a history of the Revolution. No one."

Good morning! It’s Sunday November 16th 2025! Already? Crikey!

(Dated this very day in 1951, just 74 years ago, Eagle #2:33, with its cover-strip by Frank Hampson & Harold Johns featuring Dan Dare & the Red Moon Mystery.)

You be careful out there among them English, Joanne Book.

“Policies that favour the interests of the working class are disregarded as a fantasy, whereas those that push wealth and power towards the rich are seen as a realistic status quo.”

Why is it that the politics of hope offered up by the left is dismissed as naive, while the policies of the centre and right are portrayed as all that is possible? asks Guardian columnist Frances Ryan

Ridiculous that the trade union has to press the government department to implement something like this.

Only learner drivers will be able to book driving tests following hard work and campaigning by PCS reps and members at the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency aimed at reducing long waiting lists and preventing slots being sold at inflated prices.

We have upgraded our geomagnetic forecast today (12 November 2025) to the highest intensity level amid an ongoing solar storm.

Current predictions suggest that the activity will result in potentially the largest solar storm to hit our planet in over two decades.

Went to see this in the theatre today for the 2nd time, brought my 16yo this time. Just a marvellous movie from start to finish. 2hrs 40mins and not an ounce of fat. Awesome script, magic performances, a score to end all scores. Near perfection, said my boy, and I agree👌 www.imdb.com/title/tt3014...

The first of what we can hope will be many legal victories for the music industry in its fight against the AI pirates. A Munich court ruled that OpenAI had breached copyright law and was liable to be sued for damages for appropriating content without authorisation.

Don’t be selfish, George.
An image from a school textbook shows a character with no skin, revealing the muscles underneath, running behind a regular runner who looks horrified. The caption reads, “Give me your skin, George.”

Taking the opportunity to share one of my favourite gig photos. Neneh's had a good run, but Automatic is just a much better record. Vote JAMC!

Israel is bombing tents again with F35 jets.

They commit genocide with impunity.

There was no ceasefire, they broke it every single day.

They must be held to account.

Speak up. Take action.
