“Villages, unlike towns, have always been ruled by conformism, isolation, petty surveillance, boredom & repetitive malicious gossip about the same families. Which is a precise enough description of the global spectacle’s present vulgarity…” @pure-culture.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/blackd/p...

I've said it before, but I'll say it again. Grant Sanderson (@3blue1brown.com) is one of the most skilled visual communicators. His explanations are pedagogic masterpieces and a joy to experience. He's outdone himself with his latest on M.C. Escher's Prentententoonstelling. youtu.be/ldxFjLJ3rVY

Is Robert Jenrick the most high profile political defector to inspire a scene in a Booker prize winner? And it even involves corruption David Szalay’s Flesh - which, no pun intended, left me cold - has a scene clearly based on this www.architectsjournal.co.uk/news/jenrick...

📢 THANK YOU for your support this year ♥️ Below is a reminder of the gross #inequality that ruins the UK every day. Figures are based on the High Pay Centre’s findings that, in 2024/25, the AVERAGE FTSE 100 CEO gouged a “salary” of £4,580,000. Divide by 365 and you get a daily pay out of £12,548 🤮🤮🤮

Same on radio 4. I now view the hourly bulletins as joke news, turn it down and smdh about how insidious it all is. Like we aren't supposed to notice how downgraded bbc news content has become. Fiona Bruce popped up in a trailer the other day and I skipped faster than the speed of light.

I know I rant about this all the time but the rabid - and omnipresence - anti immigrant line on BBC 6 music news is so jarring Feels like a text book example of how an Overton window is shifted

Just started reading "A Better Politics: How Government Can Make Us Happier" by @dannydorling.bsky.social www.radstats.org.uk/books/ABette... Looking forward to chapter 2. I'd summarised chapter 1 as "let's run government by listening to people about their happiness" and perhaps "most people ...

🤔 Don't really see the rise of Reform and the decline of the Tories as two separate developments. Perhaps a better description is that Reform has been incubating within the Tories for decades - only now it's burst through their chest like the Alien did to John Hurt killing its host along the way...

🚨 Feel like Labour should be all over this and making the most of it while their own fortunes and levels of competence are in the bin. Guess the reason they're not is because the Tories have ceased to matter any more... 🤔 www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...
