Ahh that makes sense—one of my mental sources is the Economist, and their Money Talks podcast has been co-hosted by an Australian journalist for a few years now

I listen to a lot of UK media and I have heard it in similar policy contexts, e.g. it is part of some minister’s brief to be across the details of new proposals in [insert topic] and therefore embarrassing when such a person seems completely ignorant of the basic principles at issue

Britishism imo

Phew! Saying “he was” got me worried

It’s with deep sadness that we share that Ulysses Jenkins passed away on February 23, 2026.

A Los Angeles–born pioneer of experimental video, his work across film, performance, murals, and photography reshaped how we see race, history, ritual, gender, and power.

Wednesday was a glorious day on the Norfolk coast, a chuntering flock of Pink-footed Geese fly overhead, they will soon be heading north for the summer. A superb male Hen Harrier and a hunting Merlin provided an excellent finish to the day. #Birds

Illustration from "The Pomological Magazine" (1827) showing a strawberry plant with a tall green stem and large, lightly outlined leaves in the background. The plant bears several strawberries in different ripening stages: four fully ripe bright red berries with visible seeds, and three smaller, pale green to white unripe berries. Thin green stems connect the berries to the main stalk. The artwork combines detailed color rendering of the berries and stems with faint, partially sketched leaves, highlighting the botanical features and growth process of the strawberry plant.
