This is a very depressing conclusion 😔 but judging by Polish history that is a natural order of things. I came back especially to vote, let’s see how it goes.

I'm glad someone took the time to write the thread I wanted to write. It is tiresome to have this chat with other adults who simply don't have a clue.

"Why don't you have an Alexa?"
"Because Gav won't have them in the house."

I have a culture problem right now, I call it the Other Parents problem

Yes to Josh O’Connor playing an art thief again but it is the soundtrack of this film by Rob Mazurek that is truly exquisite.

La France refuse en masse des demandes de visa venant de Russie, craignant des opérations d’ingérence Paris a refusé 1 200 visas et accréditations provenant de diplomates ou de « conférenciers » souhaitant assister à des colloques sur le sol français, afin que Moscou ne puisse pas reconstituer un réseau de renseignement décimé par les expulsions d’agents russes agissant sous couverture diplomatique.

Labour’s great nature sellout is the worst attack on England’s ecosystems I’ve seen in my lifetime | George Monbiot The horrifying planning bill, which rips up environmental protections, was drafted with CEOs in mind. We know because Keir Starmer told us, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

1. Because this issue is critical, but has received remarkably little coverage, here's a thread pulling out the key themes from my article yesterday, on the Planning and Infrastructure Bill, which puts decades of environmental protections to the torch. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Absolutely! There is one loud, inventive bugger (nightingale but don’t quote me on this) who is belting out his song for his dream future female partner ever day and hearing him brings me an unlimited amount of joy!

Dear @bbcradio3bot.bsky.social You know that there many other composers in the world than only ruzzian ones (and you still only tend to play two anyway) and Poland had more talented composers than just Chopin. If you’d need any hints what’s good from that part of Europe, just ask.

Astonishing fact on #bbcr4today earlier, discussing the Heathrow power failure. Heathrow requires 41MW; a new data centre nearby needs 150MW. Stark illustration of the underpinning energy consequences of data storage.

I’ve been raving about Laura Carreira’s quietly devastating debut On Falling to anyone who’ll listen and now here’s my interview with Laura herself

I think about this film often. And this scene especially. Especially about a truckload of dead bodies in a mass grave.

Fat Thursday must be my favourite holiday of the Polish calendar. We’re very lucky because an excellent Polish bakery is just a street away from our studio in Leith and today Mario Patisserie provided us with the fluffy, delicate, rose-jam filled goods:

We were looking today through the family archives of photos (my stepdaughter is visiting) and there were so many beautiful images (especially portraits) that were created completely unintentionally - we’ve just become curators when scanning these negs.
