Box of note cards seen in town. Though if it’s really a Kerr-Kneale Production there should be one picture from The Tiger Who Came to Tea and one from Year of the Sex Olympics.

Thoroughly entertaining Inspector Morse hokum at the newly refurbished Arts Theatre yesterday; completely predictable in all the best ways; fun performances; experience made all the better by sitting next to a young American woman with absolutely no cultural context for these shenanigans whatsoever.

I had cause to go and look at Speer's entry on Wikipedia this morning for the first time in cough-ty years, and found it notable that there seems to be no mention of Gitta Sereny's biography. Has it fallen out of fashion; been superseded in some way?

oh captain our captain
There are some Star Trek fans weirdly obsessed with “decorum” and they really fixate on how Holly Hunter sits in the captain’s chair on STARFLEET ACADEMY. One guy left a comment on the official FB whining about it and so Captain Janeway herself responded to drop the hammer

I left 5 copies of Rebecca Solnit’s Hope in the Dark in a little free library yesterday and 3 are already gone. Passing the idea along for anyone else who wants to inspire or support anti-fascist workers but isn’t particularly mobile.

False modesty is bullshit. So this is an exceptional episode of the podcast I have poured my heart, soul and brain into for ten years. It was a privilege to discuss C.S. Lewis with Rowan Williams, knowing a) you'd get to hear it and b) nobody does it like we do. www.backlisted.fm/episodes/257...
