Wintry Mix sounds like a three-piece girl-band from the early 2000s

A US-backed coup? In Latin America? Unprecedented!

READING 2025: Enjoyed the always compelling (if sometimes problematic) BALKAN TRILOGY by Olivia Manning, especially after briefly visiting Bucharest a couple of years ago and falling a little bit in love with it.

I think about this a lot

A screenshot from a question website. The question says "Anonymous asked in Pets › Dogs • 13 hours ago
Is magic bad for dog?
I'm working on slight of hand magic tricks and practice in my house a lot. Sometimes in front of dogs. Am I hurting their brains when I'm blowing their minds?"

READING 2025: Went on a Kazuo Ishiguro run in March filling in some of my blanks from his back catalogue: PALE VIEW OF THE HILLS, WHEN WE WERE ORPHANS and re-read the wonderful, dream-like THE UNCONSOLED

A special day, on which we celebrate the noble box, that lets us carry the many as though they be but one

James Topham @jamestopham.bsky.social · 26/12/2025

I made it 30-40% more authored and they still didn’t want it ;)

James Topham @jamestopham.bsky.social · 26/12/2025

Putting turkey in sandwiches, curries, pies, using it as cavity wall insulation, stuffing mattresses with it, putting it beneath acrobats to break their fall

The prosthetics in this Colin Firth movie are incredible #KingsSpeech

There were reportedly tensions on set between Caine and Rizzo the Rat, a notorious method actor, who refused to break character even when the cameras weren’t rolling

God bless us, every one.

Bit sad (especially at this time of year) but we had an accident at ours last night. Everyone’s okay, but I’m santa now.

I had a friend who created a grand theory that LIFE ON MARS was about post-war Britain mainly based on the line “Lemons on sale again.” Of course the actual line is “Lenin’s on sale again.”
