people often ask me; "Foone, you're an amateur physical media historian, when is it spelled disc, and when is it disk?"

Well it's simple:

Discs grow down from the ceiling, and disks grow up from the floor.

Grateful that my elder toddler has moved through his β€œall the Cars movies” phase, beyond his Paddington movies phase and his Dumbo phase, and is now requesting Kiki’s Delivery Service daily instead and saying things like β€œyou know, I would like to go there”

just saying: it's possible that "I'm gonna dramatically constrict my state capacity while plotting dramatic imperial expansion, and expanding my set of internal enemies while alienating most of my foreign allies" is the beginning of a world-historical masterstroke. but also possible that it isn't

Prince Charles Cinema: Has London's "meanest landlord" met his match? Plus: Scroll down to find out who is putting a helicopter storage facility in their south London garden, and a mysterious water contamination at the V&A.

A great piece of reporting on the PCC landlord and the many other instances where he's basically been allowed to do whatever he wants just because he has lots of money. He obviously cares a lot about his image, however, so let's keep talking about him: www.londoncentric.media/p/prince-cha...

European Citizens' Initiative Give your support !

πŸ‘‹EU people: There's a citizen petition calling on the EU to ban "conversion therapy" to "cure" LGBTQ+ folks, a process people who've experienced it describe as "torture".

It needs about 5x its current votes to be considered but is especially in need of voters from: Spain, Ireland, Slovenia, Belgium
