  1. Monkey Kingdom released in 2015 set in Sri Lanka

    Tina Fey is the first animal documentary narrator I have enjoyed other than the racist David Attenborough medium.com/the-frog/attenborou whom I can no longer enjoy.

    There is a beautiful shot from just above where monsoon rains gush over a precipice into waterfalls falling at different angles :)

  2. Recently divested from the #Peacock branded #NBC mothership, MGMT at #MSNBC announce new name in corporate split from National Broadcasting Service. The left leaning editorialized cable news network, that once took on the MS in a 90s era partnership with #Microsoft , now is being divested by #Comcast and will become #MSNOW aka My Source News Opinion World owned by Versant.

    Versant is a holding company created in the effort to spin off cable channels with fading revenues from core #NBCUniversal assets. The Comcast CEO's family wound up personally owning 33% of the joint venture.

    Somehow #Versant owned #CNBC will be allowed to retain its current branding sans any #Peacocks in its logo, as will E! And USA Network. Earlier this month, #NBCSports and it's new separate holding co partner Versant renewed their joint broadcast rights to United States #Golf Association (#USGA) championships through 2032, with the Versant operated #USANetwork and #GolfChannel continuing to serve as the cable tv home of the events post-split.

    In other #cable #sports broadcasting news is the creation of something called #GlobalNetworks, basically another possibly botched biz decision by David Zaslav's awkward WB/HBO/Discovery empire to split off the #Turner #TNTsports #broadcasting assets that currently hold the live #BroadcastRights to such iconic sports events as :

    #NCAA Men’s #Basketball Tournament (through 2032)
    #MLB (through 2028)
    #NHL (through 2028)
    #NCAA #Football Playoff (through 2028)
    #NASCAR (through 2031)
    And #FrenchOpen #Tennis (through 2034)

  3. A group of peacocks, like those in this linocut, are called 'an ostentation', for obvious reasons. I am making a series on the weird and wonderful terms of venery - the collective nouns for groups of animals (and other things). Some are evocative, some strange and obscure. This is the fourth in a series of such prints.

    The word 'Ostentation' is in a rather rococo and ostentatious typeface.
