  1. "There are a thousand forms of subversion, all of them interesting," he told The Observer. "But few, in my opinion, can equal the convenience and immediacy of the cream pie." ...

    He and his co-conspirators had a particular revulsion to the French public intellectual Bernard-Henri Lévy, who once called himself ‘the most gifted writer of my generation,’ a statement of such pomposity that the brigade was moved to pie him eight times."

  6. So long, Jerry Untiedt, and thanks for all the corn.

    "The Untiedt farm has been the Corn Roast’s sole supplier for two decades. They plant about 25 acres, and it all has to be ripe just in time for the fair’s 12-day run. It’s harvested the same day it’s roasted; staff pick the day’s order before dawn and drive the corn about an hour to the fairgrounds."

  7. After more than two weeks, the Grauniad now has an #obituary for #CraigVenter: theguardian.com/science/2026/m I was kind of surprised that he died at a normal age, rather than using his resources to engineer his own immortality.

  12. "J. Craig Venter, the scientist who raced to decode the human genome, has died at 79.

    Venter rose to fame in the field for publishing the first bacterial genome ever decoded, along with a list on gene annotations, in 1995. The achievement kicked off an age of discovery in genetics, with researchers racing to decode the genomes of other pathogens—and eventually, animals."

  17. Radio Free Skaro #1062 – The Daleks Will Stop at Anything

    The time has come and the two previously missing but now gloriously present episodes of The Daleks’ Master Plan, namely The Nightmare Begins (Episode 1) and Devil’s Planet (Episode 3), are here to be viewed and reviewed! They appeared not only on the BBC iPlayer but also in full on the US (but not Canadian, feh) Classic Doctor Who Youtube channel, and we have viewed said episodes and have thoughts. But that’s not all we also have an interview with Toby Hadoke, who hosted a screening at Riverside Studios and reflects with Steven on the screening, the episodes, and the overall wonder that is their return!

  18. 17 years ago on this day Kathryn, my second wife, exited this world. She was an award winning feline health writer, middle eastern dance and yoga instructor, Arabic hand drummer, neopagan witch, an artist and music community leader. I had the privilege of her presence the last ten years of her life. She struggled with bipolar II, PTSD, anxiety, agoraphobia, Lyme disease, and chemical dependency. She gave much love, and needed more love than any one could give her. I am still wrecked how her health challenges distorted her views, how she treated herself and how she chose to leave this world, but ultimately I am grateful for all the love she gave me and others, helping us be better, wiser people. I miss her. Love hurts and love heals. Blessed be. #memorial #grief #obituary #death #companionship #love #music #neopagan

    My mother-in-law died on Wednesday. It was my great honor to write a tribute to a woman who was responsible for a huge percentage of the very best things in my life.

    At One True Podcast we were sad to hear of the death of Patrick Hemingway, the middle son of Ernest, who died on September 2, 2025. Patrick Hemingway (1928-2025) lived a life that was truly Hemingwayesque: traveling like his father, living much of his life in Africa, hunting and fishing, and determined to maintain the legacy of his father’s literary work. 

    We invited Sandra Spanier, General Editor of the Hemingway Letters Project, to share her memories of Patrick, including his contributions to the Letters Project, her visits with him, and a poignant interview with Patrick that was conducted just a few months ago. Our episode closes with a soundbite from that June 2025 interview.

    We hope you enjoy this immediate reaction to the sad news of Patrick’s passing.

The trouble with losing his shop #Allegro a few years ago is that now we have no #woodwind repair shop locally. oxfordmail.co.uk/news/25322069

  22. Sad to hear that Peter Beal, specialist on early modern manuscripts, has died.

    I met Peter in the mid-2000s when the Institute of English studies was preparing for the CELM project bid.
