Watching series 3 of The Terror & I would not recommend it universally. Ridley Scott does amazing work but each series seems to excel at a particularly despairing form of psychological horror. Also, Dan Stevens whilst a fine actor has done this before in FX's 'Legion'

This, but I have a real issue with 'Homes under the Hammer' being the antithesis of such 'cultural' formatting. Whom previously lived/died in the atrociously toxic-looking properties that get a minimal, identikit renovation? HUH has it's own channel! Endless archive footage of condemnable housing.

I've minimal interest in Man City, Tax or Corruption but a 'damning reoort' 'included the word "sham" 8 times' did catch my attention. As did the stock phrase 'Denies any wrongdoing' especially as I got the strong impression that they would struggle to admit to any right-doing. But any /all /both?

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a new antibiotic, known as manikomycin, that may be a bulwark in the fight against drug-resistant superbugs. By attacking the ribosome in a never-before-seen way, manikomycin can evade the existing mechanisms pathogens have developed to resist antibiotics.

Much of my past year or so of music output has, I feel, been made despite the absence of a (probably female) singer. I don't yet trust myself as a singer & I may be of limited utility when an expressive counterpoint is needed. Although instrumental my compositions have a vocal character or framework

Took dog for a walk earlier & hadn't got 500m before 5 different people passed from other direction (busy by local standards). When road is paved both sides we tend to face oncoming traffic & anticipate stepping into road when necessary/convenient. Every one of the 5 stepped into road instead. Duh?

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

Not great on history (US or Georgian/Regency UK) but can see an irony in George III being criticised for prolonging his colonial intransigence into a forever war without logic or good outcome. Is anyone willing to give the Middle East 250yrs of strong constitutional independence? Obv. A long view.

Quite impressed with eldest's choice of sofa matinée film whilst off-sick today, Elijah Bynum's "Magazine Dreams". Relentlessly heavy material, a sort of body conscious variant of 'Taxi Driver' nihilism - it even has one of Scorsese's sliding/banking, upside-down above traffic shots - but so good.

Probably a strong irony in the unsavoury actions of Robert Kraft destroying Ed Sheeran's US tour as his interference led all other musicians to withdraw. Sheeran will have to fall back on his guitar & loopbox/delay pedal multi-layered busking schtick. A one man echo-chamber. Should suit Kraft well.
