Play for Today: The Legion Hall Bombing (BBC, 1978)
"He was arrested in April 1975. When was the first charge preferred against him?"
"I have no idea."
"Would it surprise you that it was in April 1976, a year later?"
"Yes, it would surprise me. Yes."
"Have you ever known a case in which there was a delay of a year between the making of a statement and the bringing of a charge of this kind?"
"I can't say, I don't know about these matters."
"From what you have told us - if your evidence is right - he could have been charged straight away."
"I have nothing to do with when he's charged."
"I am asking you now: were you anxious, or was anyone anxious, that he should be kept off the street for a number of years?"
"No."
"Was it because of some expression of an interest in him to you, that this charge was preferred one year after you say he made a verbal statement to you?"
"As I said, I have nothing to do with when he's charged, we submit the facts to the DPP."

Some great insights from Zach Brown (not to be confused with McLaren's Zac Brown) on the importance of tyre management and the strategy Ferrari had planned for the first stint at the 2024 Spanish Grand Prix...
#what's the point of coming up with great strategies#when one of your drivers disobeys the orders...#and it's not like they can fire him#so he will likely continue this behaviour#we may as well put ollie in that car at this point#charles leclerc#anti carlos sainz#<- i don't think i've ever used this tag before#but here we are#spanish gp 2024#f1 data

A comparison of neck strength, F2 driver vs. F1 driver:
Charles Leclerc (bottom panel) is able to hold his neck steady as he navigates through S1; his head follows the direction of his travel - i.e. as he makes a left turn, he looks to the left. Meanwhile, fatigue has set in for Ollie Bearman (top panel), and his neck is unable to hold his head up; therefore, as he makes a left turn, the lateral G forces push his head to the opposite side.
An impressive example of how physically demanding F1 is as a sport! Don't ever let anyone tell you that these guys are not true athletes.
🎥: F1TV on-boards, 2024 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix (Lap 41)
#charles leclerc#ollie bearman#oliver bearman#*#my edit#f1#my video#saudi arabian gp 2024#technical#fave#i just think this is so neat!#well done to ollie for putting in such a performance when he must have been suffering so much physically!#as for you sharl - your neck is effing ginormous and long may it remain that way 🗿🤣

Thoughts I was having as I fell asleep last night:
Ed has a stuffed bunny toy that was handmade for him by his mum when he was very little. He treasured that bunny for years until a couple of shitty ex boyfriends decided to damage it on purpose (what kind of grown man has stuffed toys? etc etc). From then on Ed keeps his bunny hidden away in his wardrobe, partially because he’s scared to show it to anyone but also because he’s ashamed of himself for letting something so horrible happen to his bunny. Until he meets Stede. He shows Stede his beaten up old rabbit with a missing arm and eye, the head hanging half off the body and stuffing coming out, and Stede doesn’t mock him or belittle him! Stede comforts him!
A few months pass. Ed’s birthday rolls around and he can tell Stede is excited about something. After breakfast, Stede places a cardboard box in front of Ed and tells him to open it. He does. Inside the box is his childhood bunny, but it’s not falling apart anymore. Instead, Stede has lovingly repaired it. The repairs are very visible because Stede has used a floral material rather than the original brown that the bunny is made of. The new eye on the rabbit doesn’t quite match the old one, it has a brand new arm, and it’s body is covered in little flowery patches to cover up the damaged material underneath, but Ed loves it, to him it’s perfect.
And what can Ed do other than cry? He’s never had anyone care about him in this way. He’s never had someone take his emotions so seriously. He holds the bunny to his chest as he cries and he can’t help but see himself in the little creature. Maybe one day he’ll be able to heal as well?
#Ed is also the damaged little bunny#who will one day be able to heal#and he may not look the same as before#the damage cannot be undone#but still#he’s gonna be okay 🩷#ofmd#edward teach#stede bonnet#blackbonnet#gentlebeard#Ollie brainrots

Okay because I am setting my expectations as low as possible in the hopes I get to be pleasantly surprised, here is the history of Black Canary as a solo title at DC:
Black Canary 1991: 4 issue miniseries. Probably best described as 'mediocre'. Dinah discovers Ollie's being an unemployed dropkick who has been stealing/borrowing money from the Sherwood Florist till and not accounting for it; out of her frustration at him she goes and beats up a drug cartel and white supremacists with the help of her new friend Gan Ngyuen, who would be a better boyfriend to Dinah than Ollie is being right now. In conversation with her Grell appearances, but seriously underestimates Dinah's actual skillset.
Black Canary 1993: 12 issue ongoing. Dinah's basically broken up with Ollie for the whole of this, which is completely fine by me, as Ollie uses some of his appearances in this book to accuse Dinah of sleeping with Ray Terrill. Who is 18 and was trying to look after the injured superhero who turned up on his doorstep. Time to go die in a firey helicopter crash, Ollie, you are terrible in the early 90s. Anyway, this is an incredibly uneven run that covers topics like Dinah's backstory, why Ray Terrill develops the biggest puppy crush on Dinah, and also the very first Nightwing-Oracle-Huntress-Black Canary team up. Tragically despite the compelling characterisation going on in this title between the four of them, the story they are in is a white slavery plot, rendering it almost impossible to recommend to people who aren't the sort to read every single appearance of a character.
Black Canary 2007: 4 issue miniseries. This would actually have been a compelling story apart from its intent and outcome. Dinah and Ollie, in the lead up to their wedding, grapple with combining their families and Dinah works with integrating Sin into the US educational system. Unfortunately, Sin is abducted and then Ollie fakes her death and doesn't tell Dinah what he's done, as he makes Connor take her off to one of the Himalayan monasteries various Arrows and companions have spent time at. Sin does not get to attend their wedding, and for some reason Dinah does not tell Ollie it's off even though he just faked Sin's death and lied to her about it.
Black Canary and Zatanna: Bloodspell 2014: Graphic novel. Paul Dini's pet project that he spent the best part of a decade trying to get DC to publish. The only decent Dinah solo on this list, it's not actually a Dinah solo because it's co-starring Zee. Dinah and Zatanna met each other as teens trying to live up to the expectations of their families, then reunite in Vegas after some of Dinah's friends tell her that someone's made them swear a magic oath to take part in a heist, and it's killing them. Hijinks ensue! This is the only title of any of them on this list that's actually full of joy. Please read it.
Black Canary 2015: 12 issue ongoing. 'What if Dinah decided to make Black Canary be the stage name of a musician in a band rather than a superhero?' Does this have any connections to previous Dinah characterisation? Not really, no. Does it sound like the premise of an Elseworlds rather than main continuity, even for n52? Yes. Dinah decides being a superhero is just too much work, so she'll be in a band instead, aside from all those times she needs to stop singing to fight crime in the audience. Contains a time travel plot involving Kurt Lance, aka the worst decision DC has ever made in regards to Dinah's love life, and I'm including Ra's al Ghul and marrying Ollie on that list. I think they made Kurt Lance save the universe but I admit I was hatereading at that point. The final issue has Dinah have her life flash before her eyes while retconning out most of the n52 changes to her characterisation and also suggesting she got pregnant with Ollie's baby at age 53 before dying of a mystery disease at age 69.
EDIT: Reminded of the Teen Book
Black Canary: Ignite 2019: DC teen graphic novel. Written by Meg Cabot, this is one of their teen alternate continuity rewrites set around the awkward period when Dinah was a teen and wanting to be a superhero like her mother, but Dinah Drake was firmly refusing to train her. Contains Larry Lance and is actually set in Gotham! (this is a good thing) On the other hand, maintains the 'was in a band' concept from Black Canary 2015, which personally I would rather stuff into a black hole never to be seen again, but angry teens singing in bands is a genre conceit for a reason. It's cute.
So really. Why would I let myself get my hopes up over Black Canary Volume 5?
#dinah lance#you have no idea how even the premise of this Tom King run has put it ahead of 2015 to start with#and even mildly competent execution will get it past 1991 and 2007#my expectations are so so low#you may also have noticed that Ollie is eternally terrible in Black Canary solos#I tend to think of it as vengeance for how many times Dinah's autonomy and perspective as a character is ignored in Green Arrow#black canary#comic reading guides

i'm back from my walk. a fresh google doc has been opened. 3 wips have been shoved aside.
i have decided i need to write fem ollie on fem felix. it's the only way. two pretty boys in skirts and makeup and oliver absolutely obliterating felix. what else is a man to do under these circumstances
zero idea of plot, zero idea where this is going, just had a vision on my walk of oliver with cat–eye makeup and a dangerous look in his eyes dom–bottoming and riding the fuck out of giggly shy felix. the classic punk/goth x soft/pastel trope. does anyone see my vision
i am so used to masculine pet names/terms tho that i have no idea what i'm gonna do so if anyone has ideas/suggestions! pls! replies or asks whatever!! or anything you think could be hot to include or just general brainrot! i'm going a little insane over this idea
#using the tag#femcattonquick brainrot#for any posts pertaining to this bc i have a feeling i may spiral#regular girlboy ollie fic will still be happening too dw#cattonquick#quick-catton brainrot
