Back from a delicious meal at Afghan Kitchen. We’ve been spoiled this Xmas. On the Eve we had homemade bison stew 🦬 🍲 and crab+prawn 🦀 🍤 Mac & Cheese. On the Day we had some top notch Chinese 🥡 This is why we came to Vancouver.

Watched Sicario for Xmas day today. Not sure why but a re-watch had been building for a while. I guess I was visited by a lonely ghost of Medellín 🎥
Had a very busy year, so just binged the latest #DoctorWho in prep for Xmas special. Finally completely fell in love with Ncuti Gatwa in Rogue 💗 Happy to interleave with Flashcasts from my friends at the @incomparable@zeppelin.flights 🎙

Last day of school before the winter break! 🎉
Amazing review from @brainvsbook.bsky.social
This series is like if Silent Spring and Das Kapital had a baby and raised it in a pulp SF novel from the sixties, but then sent it to shojo manga finishing school.
Want!

Listen to @uncannyjapan.bsky.social talk about how to make salt and the Salt God in Japan. Take a look at this shiogama 塩釜 at Jūrin-ji temple, built southwest of Kyoto in 850 and home to the famous poet Ariwarano Narihira.

Just found out one of my favourite authors Pankaj Mishra has a new book coming out in Feb: The World After Gaza. Instant pre-order. 💸
His essay on Gaza in the LRB from earlier this year is magisterial. 🎓
Up to Day 8 on my #RevolverCoffee Advent Calendar. Been some fun ones in here so far. ☕
Reminded of Ibn Khaldun’s writing on solidarity and mutualism. That was in the 14th C. Asabiyyah is an important word to add to our political lexicon in this century too.
