Your regular reminder that Nigel Farage IS the establishment. There’s no-one more establishment than him. Public school, the city, career in politics, mates in all the right places, terrible dress sense.

The fallout from the collapse of this glacier - a torrent of mud surging down the valley - killed hundreds of people. Gone, in a flash. Those people were wiped out by anthropogenic climate change. Our governments are simply not responding quickly enough to this disaster which is already upon us.

“I’ve been full time at The Guardian for over a decade now. I’m the first columnist in the country to use a wheelchair. I’m still one of the only visibly disabled journalists in the press. That is objectively batshit.” I wrote about the British media’s diversity problem. shorturl.at/ZHX5W

All the right now has to offer is conflict. Some of its key figures have moved on from culture wars towards what seems to be a deliberate effort to foment civil war. If you're a conflict entrepreneur, the worse it gets, the better it is for you. Where they break, we must mend, building community.

A whooping cough outbreak in an elementary school down the road. Meanwhile I finally got around to reading Candle In the Dark and only a few pages in, you get to its eerily prescient passage. Sigh.

"I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...

The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance"

Giveaway! 🥳🤩🎉🎉 I’ve got a very special give away!! Two signed copies of my first book - and I’ll write a message inside to you, or someone of your choice! To enter: repost this post, reply with what you like about January, and tag one other person you’d like to get a copy. 😀📚

Pages inside. An illustration by Luci Power of: A hairdresser in Islington
washes the hair of a client as she
stares out of the salon window,
shampoo foaming up her arms
like the encroaching tide.

Pages inside, no illustrations. Text: In the ever-changing winds
at Bamburgh Castle, the long
brown hair of a woman looking
over the battlements becomes
a perfect weathervane.

Little boy near Alnwick (in rain so
strong it’s hard to stand up): It’s wet.
His dad: Aye, little laddy. That it is.

A little girl wearing a yellow and
white stripy dress shouts, ‘Pocket,
pocket, pocket, pocket, pocket,
pocket!’ to her bemused Dad, who
clearly doesn’t understand the
utter joy of suddenly discovering
your favourite dress has pockets.

A baby sits in a pram on the tube beside
a woman who is sleeping. Between them
is a pane of glass. The baby places her
hand onto the glass – palm and fingers
firm against it. She looks at the woman
as if sending her a nice dream, then takes
her palm off the glass and looks away.

Pages inside. Illustration of: Two men sit outside a
café in the dark, the last
of the autumn leaves
swirling around them.
They are playing chess.
One man rests his head
in his palm. The other
reaches for a piece.

Other text: Like an opening fan, five people at a bus stop lean sequentially to the
left as they try to read the number
of the bus coming up the road.
