Like Bastani & the rest of the Novara crew its been obv since at the v latest her book promotion tour, Sarkar is on a lifelong quest to be taken seriously by political media class centrists & is totally chill fucking over some vulnerable groups in the hope of a pat on the head from a Times columnist
Totally agree though I'm not sure this is just a centrist position. On Novara Media's end-of-2025 review, Ash Sarkar spoke of the need to avoid 'low-salience & low levels of support' issues like trans rights in order to build coalitions, but leaving minorities behind is a depressing message.

It's disturbing in the extreme to hear the Today programme presenter move from enabling a Tory shadow minister's Islamophobic conspiracy theories to asking him leading questions about whether Kemi Badenoch's Tory party is transphobic and by implication homophobic enough?

When the fact that Tories used to attend Stonewall Award ceremonies and other LGBTQIA+ is being used by the BBC as a stick with which to beat them, I think we need to worry.

What a bizarre, fascinating film, I'm not sure I've seen anything quite like it before. Feels halfway like Kubrick doing sci-fi horror, and half like Peter Watkins making a nature documentary for the BBC. God I loved that.
They should've let Saul Bass make more films!

I read an interview today where Alison Bechdel talked about using chatGPT for a panel of her recent comic -- she prompted it and copied the results -- and I still don't know what to do with that. It genuinely feels in moments like this like so many of our art elders are failing us.
Catching up with what James Gurney, the Dinotopia artist, is up to these days. Pathetic.
