That was the founder’s name: Clarence Birdseye.

Bon voyage. I hope you’re heading for La Grande Jatte.

Such a good piece by James — and something which needs saying again and again.

Morning all.

Strong Message Here - Get Real (with Hugo Rifkind) - BBC Sounds Who is a 'real person' in politics? How do politicians use language to change reality?

“Everything’s imminent eventually.”

Ah, Hugo Rifkind is *such* a joy to listen to.

Photo from the early 1970s of a man on horseback negotiating the Birmingham inner ring road at Holloway Head

I’m searching for the original and/or rights owner of this fabulous picture of Birmingham in the early 1970s. It popped up on my Instagram feed, but I’ve been unable to track it down.

Any leads? I’m really hoping to use it in a book.

(And would much appreciate a RT please)

The House of Lords Digital & Communications Committee just published their report on AI, copyright & the creative industries, and their conclusions could not be clearer.

An extract from a blog, which reads: At most they will be able to say: They started it because it was fun. They like thumping things and this was a thing they could thump. They were insane with the most degenerate notions of what it is to be a man and ended up accidentally converting it into a foreign policy.

How I wish the UK would get on with this.

Ken Trodd was such a huge force in TV drama. He’ll be forever missed. Here he is about to tackle a Knickerbocker Glory at The Delaunay in May 2019.

All I can think about is Jeff Bezos saying that he slashed jobs at the Washington Post — including those of foreign correspondents in the Middle East — based on "the data," and a few weeks later a whole war breaks out in the Middle East that these laid off folks would have covered as true experts.

The cover of the three-disc BFI set of Daniel Farson’s Guide To Britain.

Fried Christ, this absolutely GLORIOUS. Farson was a twinkling, no-bullshit maestro who could effortlessly steer an interview anywhere. The Shelagh Delaney and Robert Graves programmes, in particular, are blazing.

The sign for Reform Street, London SW11, above a council sign reading DO NOT DUMP RUBBISH IN THIS AREA.

Punchline wanted.

Yup. Any excuse. One of the funniest things ever broadcast. And a masterpiece of commitment.

I preferred it when The Onion made stuff up.

Neil Sedaka, “Breaking Up Is Hard to Do” and “Laughter in the Rain” Singer-Songwriter, Dies at 86 The Brooklynite's esteemed body of work also includes "Calendar Girl," "Oh! Carol," "Love Will Keep Us Together," "Where the Boys Are," "Bad Blood" and "Solitaire."

Neil Sedaka was so talented, and he inspired me to follow my dream of being a songwriter.

With love and gratitude and condolences to his family.

Neil Sedaka has left us. Luckily, he also left us this long before he left us.

Stoneybridge, perspective host for the 1996 Olympic Games

It’s 33 years since the final episode of Absolutely was shown on Channel 4

Red Dwarf’s ‘visionary’ co-creator Rob Grant dies aged 70 Grant and Doug Naylor created the much-loved sci-fi sitcom in 1988

Worked with Rob on an unrealised project back in 2010 and he couldn’t have been nicer. How terribly sad.

Éliane Radigue, French composer and musique concrète legend, dies aged 94 The Paris-born artist reinvented the synthesizer through meditative and feedback-drenched sonic explorations

Played some Radigue a few years back (as beautifully realised by Charlotte Harding). Fearless, brilliant stuff.

What’s their handle, Steve?

This is a huge result by London Centric. Independent journalism making a real difference.

Q: How would you improve the music industry? A: Burn it to the ground and start again. I would fire everybody in every major record label, every streaming [platform], every major company in the industry. I would get rid of everybody at the top. Let's start again and make practices ethical for the artists making the music.

Bloody good ep, this.

Emily Maitlis has gotten all sorts of accolades and awards for her 2019 Newsnight interview in which Andrew showed the world he was guilty AF and Sam McAlister, the BBC Newsnight producer and booker

This is absolutely the BEST garlic mayo I have ever had. And I’m an unbelievable fusscock about this stuff.
