Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.

One, ex-Sunday Times political editor turned lobbyist Michael Prescott, had worked at PR firm Hanover. While at the BBC, Prescott raised internal concerns about editorial standards - but after leaving this summer, he went to his old media contacts with a list of the BBC’s failings.

Three years ago, after the Martin Bashir scandal, BBC boss Tim Davie tried to prevent future crises by appointing two “external editorial experts” to scrutinise BBC journalism. Oddly, both came from PR rather than journalism.

You can actually live anywhere and come. There is a train station nearby and buses. Luton Airport is a 50 min drive away too
If you live in north London you can come to this on Friday. Should be fun

Y’know, I saw this yesterday and felt a warm pang, despite watching the entirety of Flux in circumstances (and health) I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. It was imaginative and fun, when life was anything but, so never tell me the show lost its magic in 2018, 2013, 1984, 1977, 1964 or whatnot.
ON THIS DAY... 4 years ago, Doctor Who Magazine #571 was first released by Panini Comics. This issue came in three different covers, displaying Swarm, Azure and Skaak, respectively.
