darts is about to get a lot more repetitive. which is obviously great for business - look what tiger woods did for golf, eg. but over time, may also underline just how homogenous the product itself has become. time for some fresh formats and fresh ideas www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2...

This was the original plan for the Paul King movies - he’d demonstrated the technique worked on the big screen in Bunny and the Bull, deliberately - but the studio weren’t keen on using the 2D/3D blend, as the Ivor Wood animations have zero nostalgic recognition outside the UK.

John Brown was executed #OTD in 1859. His embrace of violence as a means to empower enslaved people to take their freedom occurred within a system of violence that made slavery possible and in which it thrived. That's something to remember next time you dismiss Brown by calling him a "terrorist." 🗃️
