If I liked the Sopranos, loved Breaking Bad and worshipped Mad Men, but didn't dig the magic and dragons nonsense of Game of Thrones and think Ozark is a bit blah then what show should I watch next?
Some of the replies are taking me back. Season 1 of Gomorrah and Season 2 of Succession might be some of the finest television ever made. Except Seasons 2 and 3 of Mad Men. And maybe the final season of Sopranos.
If you share my tastes then the consensus seems to be: revisit The Wire immediately, detour into Peaky Blinders, then The Americans & then slide into Better Call Saul followed by Babylon Berlin and then possibly Giri Haji. And then maybe watch succession all over again

How will #coronavirus impact on politics? The short answer -the honest answer- is that we do not know. But we can still ask some questions that will help to organise our thinking. Here are a few for starters ...

/thread
Will the combined political, economic and health crises deliver another body blow -and perhaps a fatal one- to globalisation and the liberal world order, which has already been in retreat for much of the past decade?
Or will it provide a new raison d'être for liberalism, reviving public support for individual freedom and the argument that amid large-scale global challenges like pandemics and climate change the only possible future is a multilateral one?

New advice from UK government: "we are approaching the fast growth part of upward curve. Cases could double every 5-6 days". If you have symptoms stay at home for 14 days. Do not go out. Ideally ask others for help #coronavirus
Boris Johnson: "Everyone now must stop all non-essential contact. Everyone must now work at home if they can. Especially over-70s, pregnant women and those with underlying conditions"
"In a few days we will go further. The vulnerable will be shielded from others for 12 weeks".

UK moves to "delay" phase - if you develop a new, continuous cough and a temperature stay at home for seven days. The most dangerous period for all is still some weeks away #coronavirus
Government advice is NOT to call 111 if you develop mild symptoms. Look on the Web.
Overall UK mortality rate is "1% or lower" overall but a bit higher among older and vulnerable groups

Streetlights turned off inside JNU campus. A group of right-wing activists have gathered at the main gate and are shouting slogans.

Four ambulances have entered the campus from another gate. They were blocked at the main gate.

Next week @austinfilmfest. Today biking in Venice. Let's play. You got questions, I -- might -- have answers. #FireAway and, as always, #PassItOn...
Showrunner Rule #166: Efficiency demands you delegate to the room first thing in the morning. Clear room goals means they push ahead while you simultaneously catch up.
Showrunner Rule #167: Should you need a touchstone for flawless television plotting, watch Breaking Bad, S1 E3, minutes 23 to 44. It’s Walter perseverating on taking a life & I don’t think it’s an overstatement to call it damn perfect.

45 Days Of @ElvisCostello: a twitter megathread in anticipation of the Oct 12 release date of LOOK NOW, the new LP by Elvis Costello & The Imposters

This is either a bright idea or a brilliant mistake, but this is only, this is only, this is only the beginning...
I did something similar to this 5 years ago, in anticipation of EC & @theroots' Wise Up Ghost LP, on tumblr.

(You can still find all those posts if you look, although a lot of the YouTube links etc are now dead ends. It was 40 Days Of EC then, so for 2018 I'm upping it to 45.)
Mostly I will be going chronologically from the early years right up to the present, but it feels right to start out with Costello's 2002 song, "45."

(There's an alternate "diner" version I can't find anywhere online)
