I think this is the thing, isn't it? It's hard to watch the constant coverage of "small boats" leading the news, or the 'we're going across live to hear what Nigel Farage has to say' and believe that BBC News is being run by a bunch of lefties
Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …

LEVI'S - THE STRANGER (1971): This psychedelic Levi jeans advert is a beautifully animated work of art (rotoscoping in action!). Spoken word jazz legend Ken Nordine provides the cool voiceover.

One of my many points of agreement with John Waters is that BOOM! is just hypnotically wonderful in the way that only very very talented actors doing very very bad films for absurd amounts of money can be.

The Soviet-era statue of Friedrich Engels at Tony Wilson Place in Manchester.
It was originally installed at Mala Pereschepyna in central Ukraine and was discarded in a field after the display of Soviet symbols was outlawed in 2015.
Engels lived in Manchester and Salford between 1842 and 1869.

having become a young adult in the late 80s I feel pretty well qualified to say that independent music is more vital now than it’s ever been, and that the opportunities for creativity and community within it are endless
The world may suck right now but the world of independent music is amazing. Buy something on bandcamp and escape for a second

"Weather foul. Reading, as Somerset M. said is a disease. Found paperback by Romain Gary called White Dog. Brilliantly evocative. He writes with great facility. Wish I could. Every word I write I suspect the next day. Talked to Elizabeth. Very self-sufficient. Brittle."

And in Paris they shut down traffic in large parts of the city centre at weekends so families and kids can walk safely in the quiet carless streets.
In Paris, you can get a monthly public transport pass for the city and its surroundings (Île-de-France) for less than 100€/month, and your employer has to reimburse at least half of it.

Watching Murders In the Rue Morgue (Robert Florey, 1932) and marvelling at the cute little ape letterhead on the writing paper of Dr. Mirakle (Bela Lugosi), Dr. Mirakle who is abducting women and injecting them with ape blood in order to create a mate for his murderous sideshow ape. Pre Code, yes.
