Until and unless we have a political class willing and able to state these basic truths about social care, reform its provision so it doesn’t carry on destroying local govt, and actually raise the taxes needed to fund it properly, we are, not to put to fine a point on it, f***ed on this issue.

Much as I like you, no I'm not individually paying for each of your substacks. It's too expensive. Substack needs to sort its shit out and offer a general subscription.

London in 1975, a glimpse into a lost world by David Granick. If you are a young photographer remember to photograph the ordinary things around you, the people, places and events we all take for granted. Eventually time will make those photographs extraordinary.

Whenever I have to succinctly describe an historical event or character in a TV/music review I'm always reminded of the inexplicably revered Nick Kent rock memoir, Apathy For The Devil in which he wrote that Geoffrey Chaucer was “rightly renowned as one of England’s first book-writers”.

Spent a lot of time last week thinking about the beautiful way that the Headphones On The Bus Discourse captures our nation story, so I did a cartoon about that

Something punched a celestial snake in the gut.

Radio images show the center of our galaxy is full of long, puzzling magnetic "snakes." This one has an unusual kink in it--apparently from where it was smacked by a pulsar racing by at nearly 1000 km/sec. 🧪🔭

chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2025/b...
This release features two composite images of a long, thin, cosmic structure. With the structure's vertical orientation, seemingly fragile dimensions, and pale grey color against the blackness of space, the images resemble medical X-rays of a long, thin, bone. The main image shows the structure in its entirety. The inset image is an annotated close-up highlighting an apparent fracture in the bone-like structure. The structure, called G359.13, or "The Snake", is a Galactic Center Filament. These filament formations are threaded by parallel magnetic fields, and spiraling, energized particles. The particles cause radio waves, which can be detected by radio arrays, in this case by the MeerKAT array in South Africa. In the first composite image, the largely straight filament stretches from the top to the bottom of the vertical frame. At each end of the grey filament is a hazy grey cloud. The only color in the image is neon blue, found in a few specks which dot the blackness surrounding the structure. The blue represents X-rays seen by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. In the annotated close-up, one such speck appears to be interacting with the structure itself. This is a fast-moving, rapidly spinning neutron star, otherwise known as a pulsar. Astronomers believe that this pulsar has struck the filament halfway down its length, distorting the magnetic field and radio signal. In both images, this distortion resembles a small break, or spur, in the bone-like filament.

I'm increasingly finding that one of my kinks is modern black and white films.

This one is November (2017).

A lady in black stands in a river amongst ethereal white trees. A still from a modern black and white film. November (2017). A close up of a ladies face. She has piercing eyes and is ghostly pale.

Today has been one of those days where I haven’t sold anything in my online shop.
Being a small business is bloody hard work at the moment.
Please have a look at my shop and tell all your friends.
Thanks.

Every day the team of Jamie Smart, the NLP practitioner, coach and public speaker, kindly and patiently forward emails to me from children and schools asking about Bunny Vs Monkey. And every day I feel bad about it, and want to ask that people could just check who they’re emailing before they do 🫢
