I saw it this evening and was enthralled by the detail, the craft, the aesthetic.

When you give WILDWOOD a star rating on Letterbox'd, it's green leaves, not stars. And yeah, I'm giving it the full five.

Wildwood is a splendid movie, go see it. This is the Decemberists' song that goes with the closing credits... youtu.be/2dgSVUX-mqQ?...

This morning, Inside Track x (Re)Insurance published a memo from senior professionals in the UK & European (re)insurance industries. They are worried that neither government nor the general public understand the full implications of climate risk. Full memo: www.insidetrack.org.uk/releases/ins...

Was watching Buffy’s Anya backstory episode. Friend asked why I sighed. “She’s not of a sufficiently high social class to have domesticated rabbits that far north in Europe in that century, but the writers couldn’t know, the paper was only presented at a conference yesterday.” Accuracy is fleeting.

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open, period. I don't even know where it lives and frankly, I don't want to. Unfortunately I may be forced to learn which I am not happy about! 🤧

Pope Leo XIV declared capital punishment ''inadmissible” as he marked the World Day Against the Death Penalty and his native United States announced plans to livestream an execution by firing squad.

Not one person born THIS CENTURY voted for Brexit.

It’s 186 years to the day since a man called Thomas O’Conor wrote a report about a stone figure on a church in Kiltinane, County Tipperary. This would be unremarkable were it not for what the statue looked like, because this was the first written use of the term Sheela-na-gig

British people: please stop thinking of the USA as your slightly eccentric transatlantic cousin, and instead regard it as the unhinged, dangerous, global bully, as everyone else does.
