@cerysmatthews.bsky.social short notice, but might be worth paying tribute to the poet Tony Harrison. A master of ancient Greeks, managing to weave their world into ours in order that we see ourselves. We have lost a great teacher. www.inbella.com/1292557/tony...

@cerysmatthews.bsky.social you've just reminded me of this wonderful doc about Bert Jansch, when he finally got to meet and play with his guitar hero, Brownie McGhee. The whole film is well worth a watch. X

With immigration policy back in the political spotlight, it’s a great time to re-read @jdportes.bsky.social’s February article debunking the “outright lies and misleading statistics” which pervade this debate.

Uncomfortably affirms a lot of the conversations we have in our house. Is it good to know we're not the only ones thinking this? Be prepared to be shocked into reality.

The Danish drama is piercing in its ordinariness. In the real world, the climate crisis worsens and authoritarians take charge as we calmly look away, says Guardian columnist John Harris

@cerysmatthews.bsky.social Thanks for introducing me to Jembaa Groove. I had the privilege of seeing them live at the Howard Assembly Rooms, Leeds on Friday. They rocked! Equal praise to local band Kontiki who were mind-blowingly tight! kontiki.bandcamp.com/album/mangro... worth checking out.

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year.

Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

Here's a lovely concert for you if you've not seen it yet. Having been deeply moved by your choice of Ballaké and Piers Faccini's song on your show on Sunday. Isn't this wonderful? You can almost feel the heat of the evening.

@cerysmatthews.bsky.social after being reintroduced to these some 30yrs later on one of your recent shows I've just found myself mesmerised by a whole concert performance. Amazing vocal work and harmonies. And the joy it brings them is also clear to see. youtu.be/AFgzzWT3zX4?...

Dr Ellen Storm raises compelling issues with the #LucyLetby case regarding punishment and retaliation on whistle-blowers. If she's right, and there's no reason to say she isn't, the trust of large organisations such as the NHS is seriously broken. youtu.be/YG7YxCMoL8Y?...

This is Yale Professor Timothy Snyder, who studies authoritarians and tyranny, with a warning.

He and another Yale professor, Jason Stanley, who studies similar topics at Yale, are moving to Canadian universities, a result of the political and academic climate here.

This is a seminal moment: a Labour government cutting disability benefits. Not just continuing Tory levels. Cutting.

This comes after a week of speculation, itself an act of cruelty by a government toying with people’s dignity.

These cuts are disgraceful - and they will cost lives.

The attempted mugging of a visiting president was about the world war that Musk, Trump, and Vance have chosen. If we attend to what Vance and Trump said yesterday, we can work our way to the unreason of American policy, and to the chaos that will follow.

This looks to be where real change could come to resist Tr~mp and his oligarchy cronies. Enough to give one hope I think.
