Waking up and remembering it's a Bank Holiday ... #MondayMotivation

A job application and a conference presentation to write this week. Too much to think about for a bank holiday Monday, frankly.

Lose to psg, he has to go

Feeling old skool this Saturday, and playing a couple of games to suit that mood: Lunark gives big Flashback on SNES energy; in Olija, another action platformer, you're a marooned salty seadog exploring a mysterious archipelago. Good stuff ▶️

Jean-Pierre Jeunet's Amelie is 25. I honestly don't know what the experience of watching it today would be. Enormous gust of fresh air? So saccharin as to be unwatchable?

Artemis II is exciting and borderline inspiring - even for an ageing and cynical GenXer like me. But it does put me in mind of Duncan Jones' vision of what humans on the Moon might mean...

Eyes Without a Face is on the brilliant talking pictures tonight! 👀

The 8am slot on sky arts is gold. It switches between Bob Ross - The Joy of Painting and, as currently, Watercolour Challenge (repeated from the mid-90s). They're in Portmeirion today!

Up very early with the cat this morning (I'm just savouring my third coffee kind of early). The up side to that is having seen a robin, a pair of ducks and a blackbird - the latter literally in the act of being the early bird getting the worm 🐦‍⬛🪱🦆

And im saying it with unkindness: fucking figure it out loser. You are NOT creative if you use AI. You are NOT a writer if you offload any part of your process to the machine. You are lazy and a coward. Fuck off.

“They never came from idly browsing the internet or being cast out forlorn in a provincial town. Opportunities were made possible from flesh and bones connections, people. Cities are people.“

National Museums Liverpool at 40, an exhibition celebrating four decades of NML - England’s only national museum group outside of London - opens this week. To mark it, I'll be looking at some of my own favourite works and objects from the collection.

Don't forget folks, 🕐️ the clocks go forward 1 hour at 1am for the start of British summertime #RememberClocksGoForward

I've not written criticism for a while. But the Ed Ruscha show at Tate Liverpool, and Rachel MacLean at FACT, are teetering on the tip of my brain, hopefully ready to become thoughts on a page. Words - maybe - incoming..!

This is why, as one of the most significant arts institutions in the world, you don't use Wikipedia for artist bios... On that link, we're told Pat Steir (who has died, aged 87) was born in 1940 and in 1938. Pat Steir born 1940 | Tate share.google/8y1nVdFV2zdU...
