Corbin Shaw has been working with flags for years, taking objects often seen as symbols of belligerent nationalism and subverting them with humour, emotion and vulnerability.
After a year in which flags have dominated our discourse, how does he feel about them today?

Here's an oddity - we keep finding these tiny plastic candles washed up. Does anyone recognise them? We've been finding them for about a year now on both the north and south coasts of Cornwall. Anyone else finding them? They're about 4cm long.

There is no date, location, or a photographer name but this picture was posted on IG today by 'sightsofthe50s60s70s' (great account, the good sort of nostalgia) and it might be my new favourite wrestling photo of all time. Beautiful. This. This is England.

I wonder, does anyone happen to have a copy of Dead Babies by Martin Amis to hand? It's for a thing, I'm not just trawling online for perverts.

It's the A Thousand Blows season II press junket today. Naturally, I wasn't invited. I'll do a real life Hezekiah Moscow and Sugar Goodson Vs The Show piece on the blog like last time when it airs, Jan 9th. 161,000 people came to read the true stories this year - it seems like you really do care!
Been researching this man, Hezekiah Moscow, since February 2019. He went by a nickname that was spelled a billion different ways so getting to the truth is TOUGH. Findings today for the book have blown open doors. New things after six years! AND all because of collaboration. Buy my book. Thanks 😂

At risk of sounding desperate (also, WHY ARE ALL THE JOURNOS STILL ON X) - if you're a TV / history writer or podcaster and fancy doing something on Season II of #AThousandBlows and the true history of 1880s boxing and boxers, get in touch. Disney PR aren't likely to put me forward for things again.

Season II of A Thousand Blows streams 9 Jan 2026.
The completely unaffiliated, unconnected, in no way endorsed by Disney, book with the true stories of Hezekiah Moscow, Alec Munroe, Sugar Goodson - THE DEVIL'S DANCEFLOOR - is published in Oct 😅👊🏻
