Despite my frustration with the BBC, it’s great to see so many voices celebrating all that’s good about it. I loved this new radio documentary about the politics of collage. Also in the series, an episode devoted to my childhood literary heroine Joan Lingard. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Wow. The new mayor of NYC is in fact Mira Nair’s son. As in the director of the incredible Salaam Bombay. I did not know this.
just a second. did you all know that Zohran Mamdani is MIRA NAIR'S SON? Mira "made the movie Monsoon Wedding" Nair?
all this time I have not been knowing that he is someone who *understands the value of the arts*?
(I shared a cab to Mexico City airport with her once. She's great.)

In the course of my job, I must have read (ok, skimmed) about 8,543 self help books. I’ve heard all the life hacks. And I can confidently say that buying a soup maker is a way more reliable recipe for happiness than any of them.

Brilliant explanation from @sathnam.bsky.social about the many varieties of aunties (and uncles) that exist if your family hails from the subcontinent. I may have to print and hand out the next time anyone asks “wait, how is she related to you again?”

I wrote a piece last week about how the Far Right since Trump/Brexit have normalised discussing in public previously unacceptable things.
