Sad news: programmer Don Priestley, best known for his cartoon-style games like Trap Door and Popeye, passed away late last year after a short illness. One of Don’s friends shared the news on a Facebook comment. RIP Don (1940-2024), your games shine on.

So tucked away on #iplayer possibly not find unless actively searching. Cannot recommend this 1971 “Play for Today” by Dennis Potter enough. John Le Mesurier won the BAFTA “Best Television Actor” for this. If only know him from “Dad’s Army” worth hour of your time.. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Twenty-five years ago today, the last "Peanuts" strip ran in newspapers. I'm taking this occasion to re-up my long piece on Charles Schulz and Bill Watterson in the LA Review of Books, still my favorite essay I've ever published. lareviewofbooks.org/article/sell...

Ben Elton at Scarborough Spa tonight was exceptional. At the end he said see you in another 5 years and I really hope I do.

For any snooker fans out there that watch the Eurosport coverage via Discovery+ we are about to get screwed over royally. Absolutely disgusting. No way I'm subscribing to their "premium" service. #snooker #GermanMasters #wst
