    The Westbury Horse, Ravilious (1939). I think this might be my favourite of all his pictures.

    Occasional reminder that you should read the Aubrey-Maturin books immediately. A marvellous literary pairing. As said, "the two together make one first-rate human being" (I'm not sure if the "first-rate" is a pun).

    There is no such thing as 'England', just a lump of land mostly surrounded by seawater, and the matter in the soil of that land is actually a cosmopolitan raw matter we imported from a primordial precursor to the EU in the Neolithic Age.

    There's a lot of good thinking in this for anyone sincerely interested in what expressions a conservative outlook might seek once it wants to outgrow reactivity:

    This is the ceiling of what is now an opticians in Dundee. It was once a bank and before that a tram station. Hard to believe public transport was once beautiful.

    The inaugural "lol nothing matters" award goes to this judge just wildly spraying petrol all over the rule of law and lighting a cigarette.

    Might start a "lol nothing matters" thread for people who get away with bad behaviour or abuse/misuse of a public position because they are servants of the ruling ideology.

    I suppose my challenge to the anti-woke libertarianish folk is somewhat different than it is to the anti-woke conservatives, but not that different: both groups need to ask what they are *for* & what they want to build, not just what they are against.

    One thing I perhaps should have brought out more carefully here is that the "anti-woke" (for want of a better word) alt-media circuit isn't by any means uniformly conservative or right-wing. A lot of them are libertarian-leaning lefties.

    Great piece from in . Sadly YouTube-ification has even reached the Tory party itself (the election ad was a direct rip-off of Vogue's '73 questions' format, and their latest YouTube video rips-off Wired's 'most asked questions')

    This story reminds me, a little tangentially, of my suspicion that within a decade or two there will be a serious campaign to have the saint prefix removed from British place names.

    I'm at today suggesting that conservatives should resist the temptation to grumble and complain, and instead get on the front foot.

    Just to be clear, despite the picture, this is not a piece targeted against the Triggerpod, which I enjoy!
