This took a long time and a lot of research to put together:
- How Marc Marquez misunderstood the rules, but got away with it
- How the chaos happened
- Why the race was red flagged
- The 2018 vs 2025 rules
- Why nobody was penalized
- How can we prevent it happening again?

It is obvious but worth repeating that regimes built on lies survive only as long as they can suppress truth. The promotion of complicit media (alternative facts) & denigration of objective media (facts) is not just desirable but essential. This process is being turbo-charged in the USA right now.

Visited the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum today for the first time in years. With 244,000 sq. ft. and 1,000 #motorcycles on display, you're guaranteed to see something you've heard of but never seen. And things you've never heard of at all. It's overwhelming. #motorcycle museum

Call it what it is.

Had to do a super quick sketch (5 minutes or so) of the monster from an excellent short story i just read, Nadelman's God by T.E.D. Klein. A sort of servant made of garbage and an inside-out, discarded halloween mask, accidentally brought to life to serve the malevolent god of the title

Being cruel or hateful on social media means you’re a cruel & hateful coward off social media. It means you’re small, insecure, weak & scared. You don’t need to be though. That means you choose to be. But you can change. You can be kind, empathetic, less ignorant. You can be better. It’s a choice.

It's Shirley Jackson's birthday today, and so it's a perfect opportunity to recommend my favourite story of hers, THE SUMMER PEOPLE. It's a subtle horror, quietly creeping up behind you until it lays a cold hand on your shoulder. I love it very much. It's only 13 pages and you can read it here:

"The main thing TfL has done with its new names is to highlight the contribution to London’s life made by people who are not the Queen of England. Anyone who sees this as virtue signalling may, in fact, be signalling rather more about themselves."

At the unveiling ceremony for the newly named lines, I found more than expensive virtue signalling.
