Rudolph’s run 14.12.24

An incredible display once again from local farmers dressing up their tractors and raising money for 2 incredible causes - @yorkshireairambulance and @suerydercharity

Over 200 tractors this year - the biggest run to date rode the route from Otley to Skipton with lights flashing, horns blaring and crowds lining the streets to cheer on the tractors.

A fantastic effort from the farmers involved and the Lothersdale agricultural society for organising this annual event. Really goes to show the support farmers have from the general public when so many people come out to support.

The interview for GQ.

— talking about clothing style and fashion:

"I like the clothes that I wear in my personal life so that’s why I try to incorporate them into [press looks].”

“They’re a bit of me. That’s how I like to go about doing press: just be authentic as best as I can.”

“Sustainability is a big thing in my life, it’s something I’m very passionate about.”

“The whole idea of single-use outfits just grinds my gears, it’s totally unnecessary.”

He and his stylist Tom O’Dell have spent the year browsing vintage markets and second-hand stores for unique pieces they can fuse together for a big look.

“It’s all preloved and it tells a story – not just from a sustainability point of view but it’s about its character and how things have aged.”

— talking about king aegon ii targaryen in 'house of the dragon' S2:

“You can take the character on a full arc and find lots of different colours to his palette, which is always interesting from an actor’s point of view."

"I feel like by the end of season two, I know Aegon so much more than I did at the end of season one.”

“I feel like on that set, it’s such an ensemble-led project and everybody has their own moment. There doesn’t feel like any hierarchy in that sense but, obviously, when I put the crown on my head, I’ve got to convince myself I’m more important.”

— the serious answer: Tom Glynn-Carney lives in the countryside now, his instagram bio reads ‘aspiring farmer’:

“If I’m out by the woodshed I’m gonna get caked in all sorts of crap so [I wear] stuff that I’m not too precious about.”

“I don’t think I own anything that’s new anymore, I’ve tried to weed that out, and any new purchase is always second-hand.”

It also helps that he has Joe Mills, his grooming guy, on-hand too.

— Tom Glynn-Carney’s fit for the 'House of Dragon' S2 London premiere, is something he’s already worn before:

“It’s a 1970s pinstripe suit. It’s brown with caramel pinstripe, high-waisted, slightly flared trousers.”

“I wore it for a stock photoshoot a few months back and I liked it so much I wanted to nail that on for one of the major looks for this tour.”

He found a dream stylist in the form of O’Dell, who specialises in second-hand clothing and has connections with vintage stores all over Europe:

“His studio is just a Mecca for all of that stuff.”

“I trust him wholeheartedly to be able to point me in the right direction.”

— About the influence that inspired Fabien Frankel on the red carpet:

“For the record, [Fabien] copied me, so write that down!”

In 1757 the [East India Company] took part in the Battle of Plassey and gained control of Bengal. At first this led to the simple looting of the province, as the EIC extracted “gifts” and “tribute” from local elites. But as the Industrial Revolution got underway, English capitalists developed their textile industry. So, the EIC systematically destroyed the Indian cotton economy, drove farmers out of cotton production, and shut down spinning and weaving operations. British industry bought cotton grown on slave plantations in the southern United States. As India was eliminated as a competitor, the mills of the English Midlands flourished.

A post shared by Terri White (@terrilwhite)

"A snapshot of what’s wrong with our country. Don’t tell me all kids matter when millions of our poorest kids live in life-changing (for some, life-ENDING) poverty, but these are the issues and kids making front pages (see also the hundreds and hundreds of frankly-deranged private school VAT stories).

106 kids A DAY have been pushed into poverty since Labour came to power, just by the two-child limit. By the time this page one is replaced by another tonight, another 106 kids will join them, thanks to the ‘sadistic’ policy govt so far won’t kill (their word, BTW). 10,000 kids forced into poverty in a few months - it barely made a headline when @cpag_uk reported it.

I’m a journalist and can say that our national media’s neglect of child poverty is shameful. No reflection of a real-world issue impacting millions beyond SW1, no challenging of myths and harmful/false rhetoric, no pressure on government to halt clear injustice, never mind just commitment to TRUTH, interrogation of the biggest public health issue of our age.

But it’s only poor kids, right? And their mams and dads. Not like they’re gonna do owt, be owt. Fuck em. A drain! (This last one said to me recently).

How do we sleep soundly when kids don’t have beds, shoes, central heating, food; don’t have peace of mind, don’t feel safe, know the country and govt don’t think they’re worth enough to save? When the deaths of *babies* in deprived areas is on the up, up, up? Just, you know, wondering how many kids in poverty have to die for them, for us, to give a fuck. Anyone? Because if *they’re* negligent, WE don’t have to be."

Thinking about those films where the premise is basically like nature strikes back against humanity because of how much we've fucked up, and like, man, there's so much potential in one of those films set in Britain.

Like we live on an island with very few remaining species of animals than what we once had, where so much of our wildlife has been pushed back into smaller and smaller areas, where so many people are so divorced from nature, and where so many other people see that as us "taming nature" and think of it as a good thing.

We're prime real estate for that exact genre of film as both as a setting and as a statement. You could make such a good bleak, kitchen sink horror/thriller out of it.
