Mort à la révolution! Why UK film loves a failed rebellion

"...what happened in 1381 was the Peasants’ Revolt not the Peasant’s Revolt." Eagerly awaiting the delivery of Doom Painting, A K Blakemore's 650 page door stopper retelling of the Peasants' Revolt. It'll be immeasurably more enjoyable than the film. www.theguardian.com/film/2026/oc...

Paul Greengrass’s Peasants’ Revolt epic, The Uprising, is just the latest in a long line of movies depicting an unsuccessful attempt at remaking the nation

I do sometimes wonder if they can’t be arsed posting stuff so they just make it more expensive.

I've been hunting around for a remote for a sound recorder which is now discontinued. A couple of shops in NSW still had one. It's around $50-60 and is about credit card size with a small cable. Expected the standard postage of $12. One of the places was going to charge close to $30.

The dawn chorus at home this spring has usually been Magpies, a Grey Butcherbirds – one of my favourite calls, Red Wattlebirds and Little Ravens. This morning all I could hear was an Eastern Koel. Oh well, summer's not too far away.

A sequence of eight images showing a Strezlecki Koala moving to a lower branch at Morwell National Park last Sunday morning. The last image is a side on shot to more clearly show its face. Soon after I took these the Koala moved around to the shady side of the gum tree.

Photo taken from a rocky riverside with straggly green plants. The photo shows us the rippling Magandjin river, tall trees and high rises on the opposite side, and an orange and blue sunset with smatterings of clouds. Black text on a light orange background reads, “’Ode to Our Becoming' by A. L. Tilly.’

Saw this headline, thought of you.

Headline from a Pitchfork online article. It reads "Bob Dylan somehow finds 371 unreleased songs for another rolling thunder box set".

They by Helle Helle is a mesmerising novella. It's written with a sparse uncompromising present tense narration which is interspersed with moments of delicate, almost banal intimacy. Definitely one of my favourite reads this year.

Screenshot of a section from the novella. It reads

She has baked beans for tea and after that opens a tin of peaches. She browns breadcrumbs and sugar in the pan and sprinkles the mixture on top of the peaches, it's actually a delicious dessert, she notes down the ingredients on a sheet of paper and puts it with the other recipes on the dining room table. Somehow or other they've all left the pile again. Things happen with her clothes too in the course of a single day.They migrate, along with the dirty plates and glasses, to every item of furniture apart from her mother's bed.

The book title is at the top of the refund page so why rip off the front cover. If it's still intact then it could be donated to a charity shop. If not then it may as well be thrown away which is bloody wasteful.

Any attempts at a waffley enthused recommendation of Alycia Pirmohamed's newly released fragmentary memoir Shorelines would do it an injustice. I'll just that's utterly brilliant.
