The media needs to take its share of responsibility for violence and division.
Stop putting grifters on the Politics Show.
Stop the con men on Question Time.
Stop unfeeling narcissists on Have I Got News For You.
Stop showing the softer side of psychopaths on I'm a Celebrity.
This is what it feels like to be alive as we approach the end of the world as we know it. There is time to avoid the worst but it means every single one of us becoming activists. Leave it to other people and we are toast. Listen to David Attenborough who warned us time and again
Happy birthday to Bootsy Collins, born on this day in 1951 in Cincinnati, Ohio. Here he is sharing his formula for funk in the BBC series “Rockschool” from the 1980s.
Happy birthday to clarinetist Doreen Ketchens, born on this day in 1966 in New Orleans. Here she is performing on Royal Street in the French Quarter in 2018. @doreenja
