Caught up with Digger today. A Dr. Strangelove for our time. An elegy, a witnessing, a satire as black as a tar pit. That it bombed underscores its point. We’ve amused ourselves to death. Excellent film. Will be held in higher artistic esteem as its dystopian vision comes to pass

Always great to talk Slow Horses with Frank!
Recapping episode 5 of Slow Horses season 6 may be the most fun I have had with @spywrite on the @BarbicanStation podcast. Why? I got to rip into one of the worst action sequences ever to run on a prestige TV show. (Rest of the ep was all right.)

I’ve been looking forward to this one.
Always wonderful to sit down with Jeff and talk Slow Horses on the @BarbicanStation podcast. This time, we break down season 6, episode 3.

another plug from the great @EricIdle over on his blog and here for my DI Duffy series
this series hasn't been available in the UK/Ire for a year or so because of a change of publisher but it'll be back next year w new covers & the usual good whisky, bad food & v old dad jokes
Let’s not forget a humiliating night for Brycie in the field and at the plate.
The #Braves take the first of these seven meetings in 10 days from Philadelphia. Chris Sale, stellar relief, a big inning and a late homer from Mauricio Dubón add up to victory.
Oof. AA has lost all credibility as a GM. Laughable trade deadline for a team with a closing championship window and one frontline starter away from a potentially deep playoff run. Awful. What an insult to the fanbase and the players.
Did the Braves do enough at the trade deadline? 🤔
Braves broadcaster Wiley Ballard (@wileyballard_) joins Chuck & Chernoff to explain why Atlanta can still make a deep postseason run—even without another frontline starter.

Thirty-five years ago this week, the Braves began a remarkable a second-half surge that took them to Game 7 of the World Series. And, in a way, the surge never stopped.
Happy birthday to the modern Atlanta Braves, born this week in 1991. A look back: mlb.com/news/braves-1991-tur…

Didn’t they used to show the actual All-Star Game? I mean, so much fun to watch a split screen of the two managers talking to the booth for 30 minutes, but I think there’s play on the field.
Michael Buffer is completely unintelligible as he introduces the Home Run Derby competitors. Five fingers from the mic, buddy.
