In 1913, in the USA, somebody decided to keep track of the rental income the movies were pulling in. This came to be known as the GROSS. I'm telling the story of Hollywood through the top-grossing film of each year since then. It's a FREE newsletter: bowbrick.substack.com

16 years ago we bought this Citroen 2CV and drove it to the south of France for a music conference in Cannes. It got a rusty in our yard and the foxes moved in through the hole in the roof. Well... it brings us great joy to report that the 2CV rides again!

@LoopZilla I was about 50% sure it was AI! Happy to know TH is ahead of the bin curve. Do they still get full up and over-flow though?

@ronmanagernottm I seem to remember it was a kind of retro mirror image of the Innovations catalogue, as if one produced the other. One faux marble Henry VIII required one battery-powered nose hair trimmer.

Table lamp in the shape of a Spitfire? Half timbered coffee machine? Jigsaws depicting the aftermath of the Black Death? A 1/72 replica of Hampton Court? A carved air fryer? Suit of armour for your toddler? A Queen Mother emblazoned dog coat? Oh, I'm nostalgic for Past Times.

Anonadado me quedo con “Carmen”, la máquina que Ignacio Rodríguez ha inventado, que enseña el compás de cada palo flamenco…

Hay que tener una pelotas de acero para conducir un un Alfa Romeo Cabriolet a 160 km/h-180 km/h en la sopraelevata de Monza sin usar una sola protección Es por esto que tanto schumi como Senna consideraron a Fangio como el mejor piloto F1 de la historia

This doesn’t seem heroic to me, it seems careless…a version of burying one’s head in the sand. Taking cover if there’s a lunatic spraying bullets is not ‘panicking’ - and it’s not being cowardly. I mean - by all means - ignore a source of possible danger. Eat your soup, make yourself an easy target. You might even mouth off to a gunman. Most of the time you’ll get away with it…except sometimes being cool doesn’t work out - ask Leon Klinghoffer.

This worked really well until about 2008, but no now one wants to know anymore. Economics no longer has the rhetorical authority of physics or science. And until you update The Theory we’re doomed to get infinite Garys, and Mad Mazuccatos, and Magic Money Theory. I would hope you’ve got your best brains working on it.

How much should an MP earn from outside work? Is it okay for an MP to work part-time? Should MPs be able to work outside Parliament at all? Occasional reminder that your MP Sir @OliverDowden has three extra jobs and makes £320,000/year on top of his salary bit.ly/4b19u95

For a couple of hours yesterday evening I wished I'd put a few quid on this - I mean this whole thing was almost called off because of a battery going slightly out of its temperature range in a safety system. Still, I was wrong.

This is so exciting but I'm about half convinced it'll never happen: that the 'right stuff' culture that produced the first insanely dangerous moonshot is so incompatible with contemporary safetyism that one safety concern after another will keep the thing on the ground forever…

Tomorrow, we launch. At sunset tonight, Artemis II waits on the pad, ready to carry astronauts potentially farther than any humans have traveled in more than half a century. The next era of exploration begins.
