Spoiler: yes. Reading the latest @dgquarterly.bsky.social about the frightening floods in Valencia, and how the increase in urbanisation has left the land, and people, unable to cope with such events...

In the UK, we hear the Chancellor is including flood defence budgets in her spending review, even as the Environment Secretary argues it's ok to build in flood risk zones because they're building flood barriers. Are we laying the foundations of a future disaster? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

It is such a privilege working as journalists on a print publication – no page views, no analytics, no weird incentives to sacrifice quality journalism for viral content

Truly abysmal goings-on at the Mirror, as reported in Private Eye. Literally holding my head in my hands reading this.

It sounds like something out of a science fiction novel. But the researchers behind last summer's proposal to preserve every one of Earth's animal and plant species in a repository on the moon were entirely serious. Read the story in full on our blog www.slow-journalism.com/long-reads/t...

We didn't particularly enjoy time on X after the Musk takeover, but every now and then one of our readers made us smile

Sad to hear that Nikki Giovanni, one of the key voices of the Black Arts Movement, died this week aged 81. We interviewed her in 2018 about Aretha Franklin, the subject of one of her best known poems, and it was a privilege to spend a little time with her www.slow-journalism.com/long-reads/n...

We were delighted to be asked to set the Christmas quiz for @bigissue.com, a fantastic magazine and social enterprise. Pick up their new issue from a local vendor to tackle our fiendishly tough questions www.bigissue.com/behind-the-s...

Inside the Big Issue: Gavin & Stacey's James Corden and Ruth Jones

We asked Gavin & Stacey creators Ruth Jones and James Corden about their journey – and how they’ve changed along the way.

Is doom scrolling really rotting our brains? The evidence is getting harder to ignore | Siân Boyle

‘Brain rot’ is the Oxford English Dictionary’s word of the year – a fitting choice, given the startling impact the internet is having on our grey matter, says journalist Siân Boyle

Misc. has been longlisted for the Non Obvious non-fiction book award (you should buy a copy, obviously)

Rumours that the original slow news publication has plans to buy a Sunday newspaper are entirely untrue

Have we not told you about our beautiful new book of facts? Misc. is our take on the classic miscellany, full of facts gathered through making DG for the past 14 years. It will spark countless impromptu quizzes and animated conversations – and it's the perfect Xmas gift www.slow-journalism.com/misc

Our Xmas campaign on the London Underground is live!

We strongly recommend Jonn's assortment of nerdery

also am having one of my periodic "gah, the numbers aren't where I thought they were!" panics, so... BlueSky special. 25% off annual subs if you use this link and don't tell the people on Twitter

If you’re wondering whether to support an artist / creator you like, then maybe it helps to think of buying / subscribing as the counterweight to the “everything is free” decades. If governments won’t support artists with UBI in the face of that, then creators’ shop windows are a way of getting by.

We're stupidly thrilled that our favourite comedy podcast, @threebeansaladpod.bsky.social, did a whole episode based on our trivia book, Misc. Thank you @benpartridge.bsky.social (and non-Blueskying co-hosts)

We tackled some of life’s important questions in our book ‘An Answer for Everything’ but in the next issue of @dgquarterly.bsky.social we’re getting to the really big stuff — Who’s better, Noel or Liam?
