Excited to see that Sarah Perry has chosen Breaking as one of her summer reads in today’s Guardian!
Sarah Perry Sarah Hall’s new novel Helm (out 28 August) is incandescently good (even by her incandescent standards). It spans thousands of years up to the present day, and concerns the Helm wind, a phenomenon that blows down from a Cumbrian hilltop and wreaks mischievous havoc. There are meteorologists and stone-age women visionaries and peculiar unbiddable girls and terrifying medieval priests: it is sexy and funny and erudite and strange, and the prose is dizzyingly good. Up there with her best. I’m also looking forward to reading Mic Wright’s Breaking: How the Media Works, When it Doesn’t and Why it Matters. Wright is always excoriatingly funny and righteously indignant: this promises to be all those things and more.

Today would have been Graeber's birthday. I recommend checking out his work.
"Everywhere the centrist argument that the Left has to abandon its principles to fight fascism, leaving the only choice between corporate bureaucrats and Nazis, has had the effect of empowering Nazis. That's a failed formula every time." -David Graeber

It’s 1963 and George Harrison takes time out from The #Beatles’ touring schedule to invent Liam Gallagher.

If those farmers interrupt even one ambulance or car full of cops from getting to the nearest KFC, then clearly they are no longer doing permitted protest and the full force of the law should come down on them.

Get up, go home, we are opposed to what you are doing.

Re-sharing my starter pack of Beatles-centric accounts. I’m regularly re-scanning my 200 account Twitter list to catch any new converts. Hoping to move more Beatles discussion here. go.bsky.app/Juw9Nzv

For those interested there is a new NIR account on Bluesky …
Early days but Beatles related content will surely follow.
