To be fair, a CharliXCX collaboration with John Cale was not on my list of things to expect from 2025.

Mamdani is going to impose “Sharona” law, under which everyone will have to make his motor run, his motor run.

I kind of feel the concept of the shifting baseline needs to be more widely understood outside of environmental circles. It's an insight and a warning for so much in this accelerating world.
I spotted this on Mastodon and I find it horrible, not least for the speed with which this has happened.

the information crisis: as 'information about what's going on' has become essentially free, previously somewhat sober newspapers now sell themselves increasingly as penny dreadfuls filled with the thrills and spills of terror, drama and salacious details of crimes.
It’s fascinating comparing the front page coverage of the Huntingdon train attack (below) with how the British press treated another case 30 years ago.
I’m referring to the 1995 Netto supermarket attack in Birmingham in which a man stabbed 10 people, killing one of them.

Well, with Christmas just around the corner, I'm guessing one of these would give your dinner table that authentic festive look (and it's M&S, so you can return her after).

From Parisian pavements to the Land of Fire; from between-the-wars Czech brewery life to abandoned islands. Deep space and deep jungle. But is the Pyramid Egyptian or Albanian?

Well worth a read on a day like today and well done @folklorewales.com for thinking to take the owl to a vets... and for stepping back in to nurture the owl back to good health!
It's the good we choose to do that is important.

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.
After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵
