For #Readers: The Rory Gilmore Reading Challenge is pretty darn great. It has the 339 books (novels, nonfiction, plays, poetry) that Rory of the The Gilmore Girls* is shown reading. I'm only at 23% so I need to get to steppin'.

* I've haven't seen an episode...yet.

BBC Newsnight mock-up of Jeremy Corbyn as a Bolshevik revolutionary, in the style of a Soviet propaganda poster.

Let's stop pretending that the billionaire media, endlessly attacking the BBC, has the slightest interest in balance, impartiality and accuracy. They won't be happy until the BBC is more rightwing than Vlad the Impaler. And then it still won't be enough.

The finale of the great TV comedy show Blackadder goes Forth.
Back then I didn't expect one of the funniest programmes ever to end with a scene that makes me cry every time I see it.
Every single time.

Protesters lay outside the #COP30 climate summit in Brazil covered in white sheets, to call attention to the deaths of activists and journalists killed while "defending land, territories and natural resources."

Photo of Atlantic Puffins (Fratercula arctica) on rocks amidst long grasses, beneath a brilliant blue sky. We are looking up towards the Puffins here. We get a full view of a Puffin on the right, and can see most of another Puffin on the left (the lowermost part of his or body, and the legs, are hidden by the grass). A little behind and to the right of the Puffin on the left are two more Puffins, but they are further back and we can't see much of them. All are standing upright (watching for marauding Gulls) and look a little like short, stout Penguins except for their narrow, taller-than-wide and colourful beaks (which are blue-grey near the base, red near the tip, and have yellowish lines) and their orange legs and feet. The sides of their faces, and the undersides (or fronts) are white; the rest of their bodies are black.

Late on #SuperSeabirdSunday and early for #BlueSkyMonday, but I know that any time is good for the #Puffin appreciation crowd! From my 2024 visit to Skomer Island.

Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …
