"WE'VE ARRESTED TWO THOUSAND PEOPLE BY MISTAKE"

2026 marks 45 years since Alasdair Gray’s Lanark (1981) published by @canongate.co.uk. As we prepare for Gray Day 2026, we revisit Book Two, where Duncan Thaw’s mental health declines. Its frontispiece reworks Vesalius, paralleling Thaw’s study of anatomy with his own scrutiny and unraveling.

Hmm got nothing recent then.

The Ballard of Wallace Island might just count as a rom com if you're loose with your categories.

Rye Lane, on Disney Plus. Worth it for the cameo alone.

He's made so many enemies in Europe, he can't trust the food unless it's prepared by David Lammy.

Worth it for the Iplayer film collection.

Oh would it now

Because, here's the thing. We're told: "it's the way of the world; it's human nature," as an excuse for every act of cruelty or selfishness we witness, in the hope that we'll just stand by and watch. But it's not human nature. It's human choice. And we don't have to stand by. We can stand up.

Yes, it ded

Worth it just for 6 Music.

Gray Day 2025 marks 45 years of Lanark. Alasdair Gray’s novel, published by @canongate.co.uk, fuses visual art and text: self-designed covers, allegorical panels, Glasgow landscapes, and an eccentric 3-1-2-4 structure—learn more about the familiar faces he used for the book cover 👇🏽

No man has ever looked more divorced.

One of the best to ever do it. ❤️

From this week’s Beano.

Golden Best is the perfect cross between a pint and a digestive biscuit and I'm moving to wherever they sell it for £3.30

I think there was an episode of Yes, Prime Minister on this.

It's just skipping one step.

Congratulations on the Liberal Democrats on taking over the White House

It's 1998. Peter Mandleson has resigned in disgrace from Labour.

It's 2001. Peter Mandleson has resigned in disgrace from Labour.

It's 2025. Peter Mandleson has resigned in disgrace from Labour.

It's 2026. Peter Mandleson has resigned in disgrace from Labour.

So it's crime then.

I love that Prince Andrew had a codename email address to avoid suspicion and all the emails are like 'Had to spend the weekend at Balmoral, Mother wants me to look after the corgis, my brother's here too - not Edward, but Charles, you know the heir apparent.'

But enough about Circe.

He makes it through Possesor.

It'd be a right shame if someone spilled varnish there.

He's such a good monster in that.
