Like many people, I suspect, I've been thinking about Eva Marie Saint and NORTH BY NORTHWEST (Alfred Hitchcock, 1959) today. Reminded me of these wonderful photos of the Mount Rushmore set.

That trilogy is my favourite Bilal. He’s one of the first artists who felt to me like he was as aware of fashion/style as he was of the conceptual SF worldbuilding

I was looking at this again, admiring the ridiculous amounts of skill and bravura technique and just noticed that Tezuka drew himself in there among his hundreds of brain children
Close-up section (lower left) of a drawing featuring a huge crowd of characters in some kind of parade. Osama Tezuka has drawn himself at the front of the march, holding one of the poles carrying his giant bird through the jolly throng. He wears the distinctive beret that you always see him in.

One of these will work. Probably the first one.
The word ‘Tinkle’ and underneath it the word ‘Twinkle’, written with a brushpen in black ink on white paper. The second half of each word —nkle—is drawn with connected strokes The lettershapes are basically the same with very slight variations. But it’s all about those variations of course.

It was the Rough Trade shop where I first heard JBU. I walked in, ‘Interview’ was playing, I was transfixed. Bought the album, took it home, played it daily for weeks. It has been in steady rotation ever since. Saw him live every chance I got wherever he was on

Saw him perform maybe 6 times. I sat in the front row when he did Swimming to Cambodia in London and took a few polaroid photos during his performance. Afterwards everyone was leaving while he picked up all the sheets of paper on the stage, I went up and he, delighted, signed the photos for/to me.

Said this before, but you could write an interesting book on the books/films/music that were huge in their time but rapidly disappeared from any collective knowledge. Only hardly anyone would read it, because they wouldn't recognise them.

Oh yes. I would buy another one but I only see the thinner versions in the shops now
A blue plastic carrier bag, flattened, visibly creased where it has been folded into quarters for storage in between uses. Gaffer tape holds one of the edges together. The white C O O P letters of the logo form a clover leaf shape with the stem of the P perfectly balanced on the bottom edge

I’m still using the blue and white CO-OP bags I bought ten years-ish ago mainly because I love that logo so much, but there’s plenty of gaffer tape holding them together now.

For those asking, the seats were based on the 1969 "Carousel" by American industrial designer Elsie Crawford and used the very a la mode new material of fibreglass. They pop up online for sale occasionally but we're talking multiple thousands of pounds

this has reminded me that when Bags for Life were introduced all the chains made a big deal of saying they would replace your bag when it broke/wore out. But enough time has passed that we all forgot and they took those signs down… and never mentioned it again, hmmmmmm

Reading on phones is disrupted by all the popups. Some news sites have so many popups/popunders/autoplaying ads my phone hangs or freezes. So if only because the experience is marginally less terrible on websites I will usually read there. I dont want to read via an app because I want more sources

On this day 12 and a half years ago I saw the coolest ever iceberg. Never seen one like it since. Fellsfjara, Jökulsárlón, #Iceland
A six-foot (ish) high turquoise iceberg with a small friend on a black sand beach. Grey rainy day with some of the turquoise reflected in the blank sand, and long exposure smooth waves breaking.

Not a drill. Take all necessary steps to protect yourselves. It’s too late for the person who tried to warn us all, don’t let their sacrifice be in vain
The underground car park at Tesco. On the wall by the lifts is a chilling message stuck onto the store signage:
TESCO BANANAS LOOSE 
The sticker is ripped along the bottom edge, obviously a terrible struggle has taken place

I love it also because, as a metaphor, it's so true. She reminds me of Janelle Monae song and Black acrobat Miss La La who was painted by Toulouse-Lautrec. alt-text: a Black woman walking across a tightrope at extreme height wearing a dress made of silver panel design explaining why she does it 🇫🇷

For example it costs the government £310 to process a settlement (also known as indefinite leave to remain) application, but charges ten times as much: £3226. www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2026...

Was riding in a taxi where the driver had left the screen on startup mode. Dunno if it was laziness or a protest but either way we all preferred it inactive
Inside a car, sitting in the back we are looking at the dashboard and centre console. The driver has his phone mounted on the windscreen, displaying a map. Next to the steering wheel, the car’s iPad-sized screen is a while rectangle with chinese language characters displayed on itWe used a translate app on the screen, chinese characters converted to english: 

QUICK SETUP
Security and basic settings can be easily made
Start QUICK SETUP

Set it at the next startup

Do not set

If you do not have security settings
IN THE FUTURE, THE QUICK SETUP SCREEN WILL BE DISPLAYed AT STARTUP.
