I think that Andy Burnham suffers exactly the same problem that Kier Starmer did when he first became prime minister. Specially - it’s unclear whether he needs to wear glasses or not.

We’re now roughly the same distance in time from David Lean making Great Expectations, as he was from Charles Dickens writing it. I think we’ve got a much better grasp of the clobber people wore 80 years ago than he had.

How has the poster made this look like it’s set in 1946?

I like the design of The Observer, but I’m sorry, the ﬆ ligature is really distracting.

A photo of a print page of the observer showing multiple words using the st ligature, where a little showy line joins the the top of the letters s and t whenever they appear next to each other.

As a middle aged British person, I am physically unable to eat a Jaffa Cake without saying “total eclipse”.

Jill Dando murder: technological advances allow police to review CCTV 27 years later

I don’t know anything about this technology, but I can’t see how you can extract more data from of a 27 year old video clip without getting a computer to make things up. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Who remembers when Tomorrow’s World smeared strawberry jam on an MP3 player to prove how reliable they were?

I refuse to watch a whole new origin story for this Will Anchor character. I assume he’s some kind of radioactive sea captain?

It’s nice to see the highest ranking UK shows are comedies, because as we all know, British comedy doesn’t sell abroad.

I don't get this. Do they mean the Early Modern English of the Elizabethan era? Because there's a pretty good precedent for that already. Or are they setting it like a 1000 years earlier? And not in Italy?

Not bizarre but memorable. A teacher gave a long talk about the penpal programme, and his childhood US penpal, how the friendship had grown, how they’d visited him in the uk, and the things they learned from each other, and, right at the end, how he’d waved them off on their flight home on PanAm 103

and yes, before anyone asks, I am absolutely familiar with Pascal Jousselin's Mr. Invincible (as it's called in English)! As good as I thought it was when I just seen a few pages online, when it finally came out in english, I was shocked how relentlessly creative he was page after page - so good!

Cover to Mr. Invincible, and interior page - in which using his powers to see the layout of the page, mr. invincible rescues a cat in a tree not by climbing the tree, but by reaching down to the panel below him and grabbing it that way. It's pretty fun - and only in comics!

Lots of useful stuff in here about creating experiences rather than content. Multi-sensory, multi-modal, time-based. Thinking about what happens *around* the stuff you create - the in between bits, the bits before things have begun. It’s all part of the experience - all a chance to say something
