I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

My film education was through Moviedrome. That type of curation, the sense of event, is needed now, in an age of streaming, more than ever.
Fascinating interview about an unmissable BFI season, and the magnificent Moviedrome, the first thing I would recommission if I ever became Director General of the BBC.

Still true:
*Britain is a success story
*Most of its cities are doing astonishingly well
*Multiculturalism is popular
*Mass immigration has not led to social disintegration
*Nostalgia is increasingly weird
*Britain is incredibly safe
*Levels of social cohesion are high
Don't let them gaslight you.

Sidenote: when a bit of the BBC is pissing you off, do try to say which bit rather than just attacking the corporation in general. That just helps its political enemies.

Bertrand Russell, in 1948. Extraordinary to realise how pessimistic people were during an era we now associate with optimism. And reassuring to realise that things sometimes turn out OK, even when everyone thinks we're fucked.

Labour has a whopping great majority and four years left to turn this country around.
They should be setting the agenda, not chasing about trying to placate voters of a party with five MPs who will never vote for them anyway.
It's not only disappointing... it's embarrassing

Instead of that psych drug, perhaps what you really needed was time off work, a person to care & listen, a quiet place to retreat, reflect, reassess & repair. Perhaps you needed us to treat you as worthy of a kinder world; of a social & human rather than a chemical response.

"Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field. I'll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase 'each other'
doesn't make any sense."
