This is very exciting. Huge congratulations! 👏

I know it’s early days, but I hope The Nerve podcast is coming at some point in the future. It’s the only way I’d realistically be able to follow your work as regularly as I’d like to. I would definitely financially contribute then.

Loved this.

As someone who was born in what was still then Soviet Union, grew under it’s long shadow, and later studied it’s culture & society at university, it was eye opening to realise just how much of the particular brand of Soviet socialism was rooted in Marx’s uniquely unpleasant personality

Can you not see how terf logic gets you to a place that implies that females are not people?

I feel like it might even be close to acceptable to wheel out my Christmas designs at this time of year 🤔

Especially that she’s one of the people with personal EU sanctions against her.

I mean it’s fine, whatever. Her space achievements are not to be dismissed. It’s just a jarring experience seeing her face in the Guardian saying we should recognise her more.

Guardian, not you leading with the picture of Valentina Tereshkova - the biggest Putin boot-licker of them all… I appreciate not many British people would recognise her or know that, but for someone with Russian knowledge, this is a big big ick 😬

Enough to hurt many people. I’m not willing to sacrifice anyone.

On this scale, yes.

On a larger scale, no. The other side has guns.

Oh and I adore the score for Jonathan Glazer’s Birth by Alexandre Desplat

Really impossible to pick one.

Hard to pick between these three:

Jonny Greenwood’s music for There Will Be Blood

Miles Davis’s live improvisation for Ascenseur pour l'échafaud

or

Duke Ellington’s score for Anatomy of a Murder

Needless to say I stopped using BBC for news and current affairs analysis a long time ago, and hate seeing their terrible coverage seeping into my children’s understanding of the world.
