+++ On this day, the 8th of June 1949, George Orwell's dystopian masterpiece Nineteen Eighty-Four, was first published. +++
It was a warning from history / not an instruction manual

We have it in our hands to deny power to Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, and Murdoch. We can do it. Right now.

Just stop using their products.

Glad the issue of private schools gaming the system to get extra exam time for their pupils has been picked up because I heard this a couple of weeks ago and felt it completely outrageous.

Quite possible that state school pupils have received lower grades as a result.

This Guardian excerpt from two years ago gives you a sense of where my research as an Elon Musk biographer is headed.

Understand this: Elon Musk and his friends are not your pals.

They don't consider you their equal.

They're creating global crises they don't plan to suffer in.

As the holiday period comes to an end, we lament not being able to enjoy any more strange Victorian Christmas cards.

Fortunately, there is always New Year.

Hopes for a happy and prosperous 2025 from The Folklore Podcast and this mutated potato. Do share the joy on.

Enjoyed Mayflies by Andrew O'Hahan, borrowed Caledonian Road from a colleague. Post Yule brainfog means I'm literally keeping a tally of the characters... With a pen and paper?!

Offerings from the allotment reminded me of Little Otik, a dark comedy horror film by Jan Švankmajer. Probably should pickle these.
