We pass through this day but once
If you are shopping for loved ones this weekend, please consider adding a present for mothers and children who will spend Christmas in a refuge. @refugecharity.bsky.social Thank you.

Buy a parcel and help give mums and their children in our refuges their first Christmas of freedom.
When a child arrives at a refuge in the countdown to Christmas, they’re withdrawn and in shock.

Currently reading My Friends by Hisham Matar. It’s so quietly, beautifully written. The understatement makes it all the more tender and moving. This from the narrator, on whom a life mostly alone in exile was forced:

100% worth the complete soaking that inevitably follows being caught out on the moor in light conditions like this.

God, I love the moor this time of the year...

2025. Sigh. Just all of it
(Another great London Centric story though.)
It’s the exclusive everyone wanted, the story that will win next year’s Pulitzer…

I can reveal London’s giant AI generated Christmas artwork, the subject of much online mockery, is being torn down - and I honestly *genuinely* think you’ll never guess why. www.londoncentric.media/p/ai-artwork...
London's giant AI artwork to be torn down
The bizarre story of why a much-talked-about creation is being torn down. Plus: Docklands Light Railway extension, giant laser stalks the night sky, and more tales of Android phone theft rejection.

They’re running Under Milk Wood as originally broadcast, for the first time, this weekend on R4 Extra. Obviously, it’s brilliant. And I highly recommend a listen. It still sounds amazing; truly timeless. The most dated bit is the credits - but, oh, those character names.

One of the reasons why Finland is the happiest country in the world is that the public broadcaster Yle sends a live feed of the first 8 weeks of a pack of puppies every fall. It’s already the fifth edition of ”Finland’s most therapeutic live feed”.
