My Xmas present to you all. The book cover that shows the most mistaken assumptions about the content of all time, I believe.

This shibori kimono has a design demonstrating a masterful layering of pattern and texture, where large-scale tie-dyed circles float dramatically across a deep black ground that reveals an underlying peacock feather (kujaku) pattern woven into the rinzu silk base. 1905-1940, Japan

My father in law has done his traditional Christmas Day Facebook post to remind us of the true meaning of the day: Reminding us of the greatest Christmas of all, December 25th, 1989, when they shot that bastard Ceaușescu

😱 Scroll down and watch the promo film - not dystopian fever dream AT ALL

Christmas morning at Delaney Hall ICE Detention, Newark NJ. 7:30 am, 34 degrees, a mom with her baby wrapped in a blanket waits outside on a metal bench to see her husband. There’s no indoor waiting area. As always with Trump: The cruelty is the point. Merry Christmas.

Merry Christian Nationalism Day

What a great 🧵

John Wilson did a BBC Prom of film scores and asked me to help. I said I would on one condition: that he include Waxman’s suite A Place in the Sun. (We even went to a screening of it. What a movie.) Sadly the performance isn’t online. But the Gerhardt recording is. 1/2 youtu.be/UFW9DG2Cabg?...

Happy Christmas from under the missile toad

Trump take Christmas jazz

they don’t tell you when you buy a christmas tree at the christmas tree farm that you could take it home, decorate it, and then be relaxing in your living room seven nights later when A BAT suddenly flies out and starts CRASHING AROUND YOUR HOUSE

Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without C5 showing a badly-colourised version of Scrooge (1953) in the wrong aspect-ratio.

A pair of Scarlet Macaws courting along the Madres de Dios river in the Peruvian amazon. They mate for life and can live in the wild until they’re 35. They were nearly wiped out by the pet trade! ❤️💛💙 #Macaw #amazon #peru #MerryChristmas

If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career

This year, I’d like to say a special thank you to our incredible emergency services who are working hard to keep Londoners safe today and during the festive period. You are London at its very best.

Nobody died from cholera in medieval England. Cholera only came to Europe in the early 1800s

Finally up: After 8 years, my brother-in-law put up the Neutra House Numbers. They are made from anodised aluminium, refined by the font designers from House Industries after designs by Richard Neutra in the 1930s. Currently, Herman Miller has a discount store.hermanmiller.com/decor-house-...

As far as I'm concerned there are only two Christmas movies. The Muppet Christmas Carol, and Fanny & Alexander. Both directed by Ingmar Bergman. Tonight, however, I watched Train Dreams which was rather beautiful and melancholic, in a Terrence Malick way.

Edward Gorey's wonderfully odd Christmas illustration.

It's raining men, apparently, if bowler hats and grey overcoats are your thing?

As with Trump's attempt to sue our national broadcaster for $10 billion, this is a test. Are you actually a supporter of free speech and our national sovereignty? Or do you just say that for dollars?

Mood today and for the foreseeable future

A transatlantic showdown over tech policy (as opposed to, say, net zero) could actually have a unifying & galvanising political effect within the EU. The union’s digital regulations are broadly popular and many voters actually want more, not fewer, controls on Big Tech. yougov.co.uk/technology/a...

Former head of trust and safety at Twitter, Yoel Roth, demonstrating the intellectual dishonesty of “In Covid’s Wake” by showing how they distorted his own words to make them say the opposite of what he was arguing.

When you look at people’s homes ruined by Russian attacks , I want you to remember it’s -8 here in Kyiv tonight . and it’s not the coldest part of Ukraine - for Kharkiv it’s -11. What Russia is doing is deliberate attempt to freeze us.

Trump to child from Pennsylvania: Pennsylvania is great, we won Pennsylvania, actually three times. We won it a landslide.
