So depressing, and worse than this used to be given the right wing bias of the media is now eclipsed by the derangement of social media.

“Get young people off benefits” is deliberate toxic framing. Why not say “we have a moral duty to create jobs for young people that pay a living wage”?

It's been happening forever, and will happen forever, that rich people fuck off to lower-tax areas and frame it as political defiance of some law they personally don't like. 'Seatbelts in cars make it impossible for me to deliver wealth.' 'Without smoking in pubs, how am I meant to...'

I had a quick look at that NYT 100 Best TV Series of the 21st Century, and it’s a shame they don’t have a tick box for ‘I watched a bit of it, but couldn’t be bothered with the whole thing’, which is my default TV watching mode. I’d have scored quite highly on that.

Roy Lichenstein drawn as a naughty schoolboy copying answers at a test: "I merely took the answers to build upon, to enlarge them for impact, perhaps making the answer itself a question: is this the sum of our parts?"

Teacher: "Brilliant work, Lichtenstein! Carry on."

"Heh heh! I've cribbed all my answers off the clever kids. Only I've done them really big and very badly, and with the lettering all the wrong thickness."

The first episode of WORZEL GUMMIDGE (1979) sees the loveable scarecrow come alive for the first time, and it's directed like a scene from an Italian zombie film. Lucio Fulci would approve!

Look, I know I’m supposed to be at least a Slightly Serious Musician, and some of his music is staggeringly good, but every time I conduct anything by Britten my cheap mind goes to this
The Viz comic’s “Benjamin Britten and his embittered bittern”. Sorry, it’s a 22-panel comic with a lot of text, so I’m afraid that’s all you’re getting. But I hope you get the idea.

Walking Men Worldwide by Maya Barkai (via @kottke.org) walking-men.com
A snaking line of 'walking men' from pedestrian crossing lights, disappearing into the distance. Most of them glow green. They all have different designs, from dotted to solid to jaunty to minimalist.A photo of 7 different 'walking men' icons on a hoarding, each labelled with its city of origin, e.g. Marseille (stick man, dots) and Hong Kong (chunky, confident). A real walking man is in the foreground.

I saw them live once; one of the best shows I've been to. Because they had stopped playing their early stuff, the opening act was a Wire cover band who played Pink Flag in its entirety, in order, with a pause for the record flip.

What an incredibly thoughtful human being. Her point that over 1000 men being moved into a rural community would cause anxiety whatever their race feels like an essential one. I'd be way more worried about 1000 Tommy/Tommo white goons than I would be 1000 asylum seekers.
