Britain belongs to the moles (an estimated 40+ million). And they say that the hedgehog stays.

Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @london.gov.uk · 12/10/2026
A cleaner, greener future is possible.
Four stills from a video featuring Mayor of London Sadiq Khan discussing improvements to London’s waterways. The images show the Mayor speaking beside a waterway, a beaver swimming and a green riverside landscape surrounded by trees and buildings.
Yellow subtitles read: “Most Londoners pass our waterways without thinking much about them. But what if they were cleaner? Greener? Better for wildlife? That’s exactly what we’re delivering in London. Because nature needs a helping hand right now.”

I’ve just finished watching #UpstairsDownstairs The show could be described as a rose-tinted spectacles version of patriotism. But it’s far preferable to what’s going on at the moment. It’s taken for granted that helping refugee children is right. In fact, it’s a major plot line.

I’ve just watched #Passing on Netflix. A very interesting film based on a 1920s novel about a woman who passes for white. Well worth a watch. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passing...

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately
Hello Bone Colleagues, 
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

Things are really bad when Rees-Mogg starts looking like someone I want to hug. I think he’s an illustration of why political diversity matters. Your political opposite may not be someone you agree with most of the time – but if they’re someone who will take on extremists, be glad they’re there.

I’ve been learning about typography and this article about Helvetica and whiteness was mentioned. It’s interesting how dominant groups tend to assume they’re the default and everyone else is the variation. So a design choice that is seen as neutral to a group that thinks it is a neutral default…

Joseph Kennedy was, reportedly, warned about the great crash in 1929 when his shoe shine guy began offering him stock tips. Kennedy sold his stocks soon after. It's those little things, that indicate a storm is coming, you need to heed.

I’ve just finished season 1 of #BloodSisters on Netflix. Set in Nigeria, it’s about two women on the run. I really enjoyed it. It’s a good, solid TV drama about wealthy people. I don’t know anything about Nigeria, so it was also interesting to see the different locations.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, holding a red ball labeled "A SILLY MEME".
The second panel shows Sarah taking the ball and going through a door labeled "GROUP CHAT".
The third panel shows a group of women sitting together and consoling one woman in the center. The woman in the center is saying "...And that's how it happened. It's been the worst day of my life."
The fourth panel shows Sarah standing in the doorway behind them awkwardly holding the red ball.

I’ve been watching Kings of Jo’burg. The characters seem remarkably tolerant of relatives and underlings who have let them down in very serious ways. Is this a cultural thing in South Africa? If you haven’t seen the show, the “Kings” are organised crime leaders. And the family has a mermaid.

Anyone else seeing a spate of AI-assisted posters and billboards advertising local businesses? Done well, they pass for ordinary advertising. Done badly, they’re clearly AI. The main issues tend to be that the text isn’t legible from a distance and the image is too busy to decipher quickly.

I’ve been watching a South African drama called Kings of Jo’burg. It has a fairly unconventional supernatural twist. When I saw it I thought “Waah?” I’m several episodes into the first season, so no spoilers please!
