William Box @wdmbox.bsky.social · 29/09/2026With regard to the Wembley conversation… apparently the new pitch is 4 metres lower than the original - so Pougatch should have been pointing ‘up there’?? news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/fo...news.bbc.co.ukBBC SPORT | Football | The new Wembley Stadium 000
William Box @wdmbox.bsky.social · 01/09/2026The recording I always return to is the Ian Bostridge / Marie-Luise Neunecker one from 1999. Do you have any recent recommendations…? 110
William Box @wdmbox.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Oh yes :-). I had been thinking more of characters from a new / unknown language for things that can’t be expressed otherwise. (Which I guess is what some pottery/music/art is anyway….) 100

These attacks are extrajudicial killings and should be considered murder under domestic law and crimes against humanity under international law, writes @seharrison7.bsky.social.lawfaremedia.orgThe Boat Strikes Aren’t Part of a War. They’re Murder.By debating war powers and war crimes, Congress is missing the simpler, graver truth: The president is directing summary executions. 19449229
William Box @wdmbox.bsky.social · 24/08/2026My father used to do this joke at family gatherings - normally after many drinks sitting round a large table. His facial contortions were even better than Les. I think one Christmas it took about 20 mins. Thanks for sharing. 130

I’d say it’s a brave essay, but Julia Curlee would be the first to object that real bravery, which she exemplified as an indispensable public servant, is a different order of things entirely. Must read. 17125

William Box @wdmbox.bsky.social · 26/07/2026I can still remember the first time I saw this, stumbling across it accidentally on BBC2 back when the world was young. A complete revelation. It has stayed with me ever since. Hardly anything (IMHO) comes close to its concentrated impact. 020

William Box @wdmbox.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Just going to add to the ‘no to DJs’ messages. All black is fine. While being part of running a non-professional orchestra I have had to reassure players 3 times that formal wear is not required as they were concerned about the cost. Most people these days don’t have a DJ hanging in the wardrobe. 000
