Interviewer: In 2006, you had the opportunity to work with another Burke, your son Tom, in “Number 13,” the M. R. James Christmas ghost story. Was that the first time you ever worked with Tom on screen?

David Burke: The first time we worked together professionally. When Tom was still at school, we used to do performances in the village hall.

Anna Calder-Marshall: We’d make them up, in secret, just comedy, clowning, poems…we’d do Victoria Wood sketches.

David: Tom was brilliant at that.

Anna: Brilliant…we’d work them up over Christmas … We worked so much together as a threesome. I mean we did show after show … we must have done about 8 or something.

Interviewer: Do you think Tom would ever give the role of Dr. Watson a try?

David: I think he has too much charisma.

Interviewer: I was gonna say, I think he could probably play Holmes …

David: He actually does a speech…

Anna: … Holmes, as Jeremy Brett. He’s an incredible mimic. He learned it for one of our shows.

The air pollution record was shattered on June 7th.

The US experienced its worst toxic air pollution from wildfire smoke in its recent recorded history on Wednesday, researchers have found, with people in New York exposed to levels of pollution more than five times above the national air quality standard. The rapid analysis of the extreme event, shared with the Guardian, found that smoke billowing south from forest fires in Canada caused Americans to suffer the worst day of average exposure to such pollution since a dataset on smoky conditions started in 2006. “It’s the worst by far, I mean, Jesus, it was bad,” said Marshall Burke, an environmental scientist at Stanford University who led the work. “It’s hard to believe to be honest, we had to quadruple check it to see if it was right. We have not seen events like this, or even close to this, on the east coast before. This is a historic event.”

While not as damaging as a major hurricane, this episode of air pollution has been disruptive over an entire region for several days. The overall impact on people's health will become more apparent when statistics on public health are crunched.

In New York, where the sky went from a milky white to a Blade Runner orange over the course of a day when schools and playgrounds shut down outdoor activities and people started donning masks outside not worn since the early days of the pandemic, the particulate matter hit around 195 micrograms, more than five times above the national air quality standard. “The levels yesterday were quite dangerous, particularly if you are in a vulnerable group,” said Burke, adding that this includes vast swaths of people such as the elderly, children, pregnant women and those with prior medical conditions. “I expect we will see an uptick in respiratory hospitalizations, pre-term births and, sadly, mortalities.” Many New Yorkers stayed indoors rather than brave the campfire smell lingering on streets shrouded in smoke but even this did not fully shield most people, Burke said, with indoor air monitors in Manhattan showing that people experienced more than 100 micrograms of particulate matter.

Locally, the pollution readings in NYC in the past 24 hours have dropped from Very Unhealthy down to Moderate. But don't throw away those face masks. We're still much closer to the beginning of the 2023 fire season than to its end.

With climate change, such wildfires and resultant pollution are becoming more common.

Francesca Dominici, an expert in air pollution and climate at Harvard University, said that people should also refrain from exercising outdoors to avoid the “crazy levels” of air pollution, but that she still expected a surge of hospitalizations from cardiovascular and respiratory problems triggered by the smoke. [ ... ] “I hope as part of this crisis there is an opportunity to realize we need to act on climate change. We’ve gone from three years of not going out because of Covid and now we can’t go outside because of polluted air. The world and nature is telling us something, it’s sending us a very strong message.”

Ultimately, this is the stat we need to worry about the most.

Get more active in protecting the planet's climate.

Meant to post this last night, actually. Whoops

Thank you to @adelaidedrubman for tagging me!

"Strike is back for a fifth BBC series, Troubled Blood, later this year. You were endorsed for the role by JK Rowling, which must have felt good? It was great but I think she, like many good writers, is excited to see their work reinterpreted for the screen. It’s reinvented and people come at it from different angles. Emma [Donoghue] was definitely like that with The Wonder. When Christopher Hampton adapted Les Liaisons Dangereuses for the stage and saw the finished production for the first time, he said: “I’m so excited because I didn’t know I’d written that.” There’s a real generosity to that.

Doesn’t your mother, Anna Calder-Marshall, appear in the new series? She does and she’s fantastic in it. The first scene we had was also with Carol MacReady, who’s a wonderful actor. Her and my mum go way back and it was a joy to be in a scene with both of them. I haven’t acted with my parents in a long while, since doing Victoria Wood sketches and silly stuff in local theatre in Kent."

Can't wait!

Parnell is a 1937 biographical film starring Clark Gable as Charles Stewart Parnell, the famous Irish politician. It was Gable's least successful film and is generally considered his worst, and it is listed in The Fifty Worst Films of All Time.

Part I

You okay there, Marshall?

"Emotionally? No. Physically? Fucked up. Mentally? Destroyed. Spiritually? Not here right now. So no. No I'm not okay. I was fine before all of this shit but I am so... So fucked up right now."

K but like, Jillison couldn't even work unless they left odyssey because unless Jillian blows her cover, she has to keep up the persona and reputation she's developed in odyssey so unless they're alone or only with whit and connie, jillian has to keep being annoying and airheaded so it wouldnt make sense to the general public of odyssey for jason and jillian to be together when jillian drives jason nuts.

anyway, ship burkillian and keep jillian far far away from jason

Ok this is the literal definition of irony

How is it these kids are all freaking out about Jillian and Burke going out? How is it is that they’re talking about how Jillian deserves better than getting with him because she’s intelligent and cool and Burke’s well Burke?

But somehow they were perfectly happy with shipping Jason and the old Jillian? Didn’t Jason deserve better too?

Make it make sense like kids we— 😂
