Often find that now I'm in the sad middle aged men audition bracket, that writers call these characters by the names blokes like that had when we were kids like Colin, Alan, Geoff etc

Other technology, this wouldn’t be true for, right? Refusing to watch TV, say, or doing all your writing on a manual typewriter. Your daily experience of life would be markedly different from someone who had adopted that tech.

Mark Cousins unfolding his plan for The Story of Documentary. We were shown the chapters on the 1990s, and the whole 16 hour version will screen at the BFI in February. As always, it was fascinating. #LFF @dogwoofdocs.bsky.social

Can you help keep us going with a small bit of support? > ko-fi.com/radiolento If Lento helps you sleep or switch off. Or our photos and videos give you a boost of green space. Or you just like what we do. It would really help. Thank you.

It’s fabulous. Hadn’t been before. We’re enjoying it very much. Feels much more Italian than French in the area we are in 🤔 🇫🇷v🇮🇹

I did not know this word. I like it very much. I love it that different languages create a single word for quite complex things.

Saw the Sting musical The Last Ship last night. Brilliant set design and a great story - but I really struggle with musicals as an art form. They seem to work marginally better as films rather than staged plays (imho)🫤

It does seem to be the market leader and go-to site for vinyl trading. Currently being “verified”, but it seems unnecessarily complicated, and it moves at a glacial pace 🫤

Any Bluesky members have any experience of Discogs? I’m finding it something of a labyrinthine experience trying to sell some old vinyl 🫤. If there any other sites for selling vinyl that are more straightforward, I’d be very happy to hear about them.

The major platforms—Facebook, YouTube, and X—are all refusing to show the trailer for the upcoming documentary that eviscerates the ridiculous pest Elon Musk. So I guess we have to do our part to make sure it is seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY_8...

The Stockton and Darlington Railway, the world's first public railway to use steam locomotives, opened on this day 1825. Its first line linked collieries near Shildon with Darlington and Stockton. (Painting of opening day by Terence Cuneo, 1949, National Railway Museum.)

Thanks so much for that link Andy. What an amazing piece of work. And as you say, an important cultural artefact. A great start to Sunday.

1/2 Stockton-on-Tees is where I was born. Growing up, I was always fiercely proud of the fact that it was the birthplace of the passenger railway. For me, it forged a lifelong interest in the railways, engines, trains and the culture that surrounds them.

Michael Wadding @waddo100.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

2/2 Yet I’ve always been saddened that Stockton has no significant museum or major national monument or landmark to celebrate the fact. If it was in America it would be place of railway pilgrimage.
