Sad to hear that magnificent great tusker Craig left us today. I was fortunate to photograph him on a couple occasions. A true gentle giant, he represented African elephants and thanks to those who protected him, lived a long, natural life. R.I.P.

My list of books read in 2025. Lots of crime, including two John Rebus titles and three Benny Griessel books. Non-fiction titles in green. I tried to select new/new-ish titles for “best of” picks. Sad goodbye to Martin Cruz Smith and Arkady Renko. @ianrankin1.bsky.social @daniellehaynes.bsky.social

My fave clip from The Last Waltz. A thoroughly shit-faced Van Morrison’s leg kicks, Robbie’s grimace when Van slips “Ophelia” into the lyrics, and Levon smiling and laughing as Van kicked his way offstage. Also where the “Van the Man” tag was coined.

My holiday tip for chopping onions: put a wet sponge near the cutting board. The chemical compound released when you cut into an onion is attracted to water, and usually the closest source is in your eyes. Hence the bad reaction, which won’t happen if there’s a closer source 🧅🚫
