I've just read Rumer Godden's Battle of the Villa Fiorita. It was great - I 'd forgotten how beautifully she writes, particularly about children on the cusp of adolescence. Pretty sure it was a recommendation from here - but who was it? @backlisted.bsky.social was it you? Tangentially perhaps?

Stupid and short-sighted.

Guy De Launey@guydelauney.bsky.social

Is binning expert correspondents in eastern Europe a good idea at a time like this? Disinformation on the rise, Russia interfering in many countries, threatening several and actually at war with one? Well, BBC News management seems to think so. It's disposing of me and 4 of my colleagues.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

Sharing this bit of joy I just stumbled across.

Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.

Love this.

The New York Times@nytimes.com

More than 100,000 people marched in Hungary’s annual Pride parade in Budapest on Saturday after Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s ban on the event backfired, turning what is usually a low-key parade into a mass rally against his government. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/28/w...

Next up on the list of news items that make me despair …

Prof Rachel Oliver@profrachelgan.bsky.social

A group of Labour MPs, peers and supporters write: “We should legislate to root out DEI in hiring practices, sentencing decisions and wherever else we find it in our public bodies.” Devastated to see how quickly this has arrived in the UK mainstream. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Labour is handing this country on a silver platter to Reform. People do not vote Labour because they hate immigrants and want Reform-lite. They vote Labour because they want it to make a positive difference to their lives.
