Harry Wingfield, of the Ladybird books and others, is among the most underestimated illustrators of C20.

One of the best exhibitions I have been (I have been to 100s) was a retrospective of his original work in Walsall.

Jonathan Rinderknecht, a white man, was charged with starting the Palisades Fire. But on X, the company's news summary tab shows a photo of a black man.

Seeing the courtroom sketches of the rapper dressed in a yellow pullover and couldn't help but think of the scene from "Monsters: The Lyle and Eric Menendez Story" where they complain to their lawyer about being forced to wear pastel knitwear in an attempt to be seen as more wholesome by the jury.

I spent some time with OpenAI's new AI video app Sora. Not just slop but ragebait, fake crimes and women splattered with white goo. The implications of all of this are horrifying.

I miss the 80s and 90s cos if something really bad happened there was always a chance that Beadle was about. Like if your car rolled off a quayside there was always a chance, albeit a slim one, that it was just Beadle being about.

Americans I am begging you to sort this out. Your mad racist uncle has shat himself in public again.
Trump to the UN: "I have to say, I look at London where you have a terrible mayor -- terrible terrible mayor -- and it's been so changed, so changed. Now they want to go to Sharia Law ... both their immigration and their suicidal energy ideas will be the death of Western Europe."

I'm trying to find any descendants of John and Emma Gilkes who lived in Heath Road, Twickenham, in the early 19th century.

Here they are.. behind the bride... at the wedding of their daughter Ethel to a man called Will Whiting ca 1908.

Feel like I'm in a Hartley novel...

The destruction of the Gaza city mosque is a devastating loss to humanity as a whole. A part of our global medieval heritage destroyed in furtherance to a genocide. I despair.
Built in the 13th century. So that mosque stood for 800 years with every sort of person from every place and every religion in the world passing through Gaza century after century, only for it to be blown up by some shithead loser sitting behind a computer that we probably paid for.
