I'm in a bar and there's an American man with a haircut and beard that makes him the dead spit of JD Vance and I don't think he knows how close he is to being punched in the face. Reflex, no court in the land etc

What is it with wearing black gloves in food prep/cook videos? I know there's theoretically a hygeine reason, but it's just become a fad, right? Surely I'm not the only one who finds it actually off-putting?

Gorgeously sunny weather in Shaftesbury all week, so of course I'm here in Valencia in the rain 🇪🇸 Nevertheless I'm singing, not whinging, in the rain ☔

Watched #NationalTheatreLive The Importance of Being Earnest this weekend. It was brilliant - joyful, colourful, physical, witty (obvs), and with a fabulous curtain call that proves yet again that every film or play should end with a dance 👜

This morning my brain decided to refer to that one country in the middle of the North American continent as “Cloud Coup-Coup Land” and reader, in that moment I both laughed and cried.

Looking forward to getting involved in this great scheme from Dorset Council to help folks understand their devices, get online, or start using digital services to do what they need to do. Wish me (and them!) luck. www.dorsetcouncil.gov.uk/news/digital...

1970s photography: "Let's photograph Lorena with our precious camera and film, which costs quite a lot to get developed. And let's make her stand in the hedge for some reason. In fact why don't you stand in the hedge with her?" "Shall we move the rake out of shot?" "Nah, not worth the effort."

honestly: a minor solution to the PhD funding crisis would be to remove all funding awards for Oxbridge — and make them fund their own PhDs from their enormous investment portfolios — and disperse that money among post-92s.

The FT has some advice about how to 'dial down ‘masculine energy’ in your workwear' and apparently dressing like you've just ramraided a charity shop is the way forward www.ft.com/content/fa78...

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. Then I had a midlife crisis and bought all my childish things again off of Ebay.

On 31 January 2020 we were in a slightly rainy Lisbon, avoiding Brexit Day. I had to be far enough away not to see a single celebratory firework or hear one note of triumph in anyone’s voice. The distraction worked – at least for a couple of days. The catastrophe has lingered. #brexit

It's nearly 5 years since we started routinely communicating via Zoom. So I think the time has come to issue fines to anybody who is interviewed on TV news and still thinks it's ok to make us stare up their nostrils. Put. Your. Laptop. On. A. Box. Or books. 📚 #saynotonostrils

OpenAI says it has proof that Deepseek used its work without permission to create something meant to undermine and destroy its product. On behalf of all the authors whose novels and stories were taken as training data, oh no that must be so hard for you.

In 2014 Dutch scientists left a hamster wheel outside, to see if wild animals would use it like their domesticated counterparts. The answer: hell yes! 734 visits from wild mice - plus rats, shrews, slugs ("running" being subjective here) & even frogs and snails. The apparent reason: fun. Just fun.

And to finish? Chocolate cake, delivered by a group of the breakfast waiters singing "Happy birthday". I think the champagne took the edge off the embarrassment.

Hooning around the mangroves at Kilim Geoforest Park, with added kite feeding, bat cave (no sign of the Batmobile), monkeys (of course), and the crocodile cave (named because it looks a bit like a crocodile if you've consumed enough of the right sort of drugs).
