Net Zero Dads are now Prepper Dads and realising that their newly-installed heat pumps will not function in the event of grid failure. Something something UK Government policy. Time for a new article @duncanrobinson.bsky.social?

It is truly something the degree to which most American media industries have largely self-immolated on grounds of making their core product too expensive to produce*. The film industry has started to find a way out of this mess. I hope TV and games are not far behind.

BOB DYLAN writing in The New York Times on being 80. We’re so used to Dylan being an enigmatic & elusive trickster that it’s always a delightful surprise when he writes something so personal, heartfelt and wise.

nothing says “party of the ordinary workers” than taking a £36m donation from a crypto tycoon convicted in the US in 2022 for failings in an anti-money laundering programme before being pardoned by Donald Trump
