It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

Scarborough this evening after an incredible flash flood. It's chaos out there at the moment and fingers crossed everyone is safe.

Back from seeing the wonderfully inventive and superbly staged All At Sea (inspired by the "canoe couple" story) at the SJT @thesjt.bsky.social here in Scarborough. Runs until 31st October and not to be missed.

Great selection of international cinema currently hiding on BBC iPlayer: RAN CLEO FROM 5 TO 7 BELLE DE JOUR FANNY AND ALEXANDER THE SEVENTH SEAL

Charlotte, my amazing wife and a teacher in France, went and protested with the students of Paris on Saturday. What she saw did not match the media narrative. She wrote up her thoughts on what she experienced on the ground. Please spread far and wide! #france #protests #paris #lesetudiantes

Last one for tonight. There is just something about this painting that I love. It feels fresh like it could have been painted yesterday, even though it is well over two and fifty years old. From the collection of Cannon Hall at Cawthorne near Barnsley, La polonaise (The

Terribly sad news about RJ Mitte. What a loss. RIP.

This is how private interests manufacture consent for policies that are NOT in our interest Private companies have extracted £90 billion in dividends since privatisation - and loaded them up with £72 billion in debt It is time for Andy Burnham to bring our water into public ownership!

What’s taken over is this thirst for ‘breezy’. God forbid there’s anything with depth for five minutes. Everything seems to have this awful grin on its face (even the news, *especially* the news), but it can’t even do wit, it’s this kind of empty bantz.

Here's the original Apollo 11 guidance computer (AGC) source code for Command Module (Comanche055) and Lunar Module (Luminary099) that Margaret Hamilton created. github.com/chrislgarry/...

Best known for his atmospheric paintings of urban and coastal moonlit landscapes, this image by Leeds born John Atkinson Grimshaw is rather different. ‘Autumn Regrets’ was painted in 1882. The painting is in the collection of Shipley Art Gallery, Gateshead.

genAI discourse drives me nuts “putting aside that the tech needs to steal from every artist with an explicit goal of competing with and devaluing them, I think using it speeds up my programming!” back up, chucklefuck, what was that first bit again?

Hey, you all like knowing the time, right? Well, why not know the time as though you’re waiting for a train in High Wycombe in 1991? https://aj-computing.co.uk/network-southeast-clock/

So tonight I went to an exhibition of the work of the late BBC Costume Designer, Joyce Hawkins, covering her 3 decade long career from 1958 to her retirement in 1988. She died in May this year, aged 95. Well done on all that, Joyce

"Want to phone The Law Centre? Citizen's Advice? Channel 4?" One of my favourite Chisholm scenes in Minder. Pure telly gold.

In 1980s Britain, snooker was enjoying a boom that began with colour TV. Several saw the Spectrum as a similar opportunity. CDS & Mike Lamb made a great game and brought in a world champion too, with lasting results. New post on Steve Davis Snooker: superchartisland.com/steve-davis-snooker

RIP to the magnificent Stephanie Cole. A sublime and protean talent. The priceless ability to project an icy cold or a beautiful warmth but with infinite depth and nuance. Go well amazing lady x

When you see unredacted files from "AI" vendors showing that they were at that point lying liars that lied, the lesson to be learned is that, now that there's even more money at stake, they are probably still lying liars that lie. Especially when they ship "AI" shit that looks too good to be true
