I wonder what the Democratic Party will do? And I wonder if they will do it soon? Or have they disappeared like the Republican Party? Nominating Dwayne Johnson may actually be a canny move. We have come to this.

Ah yes, partition. That famously peaceful event where half of my family was not massacred on the trains.

Subjudice no longer seems compatible with some British people’s appetite for kneejerk opinion. It feels odd to me that what begins as a movement to preserve Britishness, moonwalks into a desire to dispense with British traditions in favour of American fast food freedoms.

All I seem to be doing this year is avoiding the news and not giving broken men the attention they crave. Today appears to be no different.

Saw #elektraplay at @TheatreRoyalBTN tonight. Conjured a dread that creeps under your skin. Brie Larson puts herself right out there as the original Avenger, and the greatest Chorus I’ve seen in a theatrical show. Where was this production when I was at school? Big swings. Kudos.

As someone who essayed his Tom Paulin ‘impression’ in the pub only last night, I can only endorse this.

Still quite working out the tone on Blue Sky, but I’ve just got more replies to a comment about Tom Paulin than anything ever, which I think just about nails it.

In fairness it doubles up as an unusable Mark Cousins impression.

Amazing to think there’s a whole generation of British men in their 40s with a completely unusable Tom Paulin impression in their back pocket.

American Primeval on Netflix is one of those brutal frontier Westerns that scalps you and pours itself effortlessly into your brainpan. The one laugh is In Ep1, when a character says he isn’t from Springfield, but Shelby.

God I love Le Carre. Quiet bookshop owners laying hairs across doorframes. Dissolute bar owners in Naples wiping down surfaces so the imprint of a pen did not remain. Lives so taken up with covering tracks, you wonder if they’re all delusional. Pathetic, really, until they’re suddenly dead.

Mel Gibson is all over my timelines, being 50 shades of Woo Woo with a slightly outflanked Joe Rogan. I find it disappointing, because he made one of my favourite films, Apocalypto. But I want Apocalypto to be made by a raving Peckinpoop wackjob. So maybe I’m not disappointed at all.

Empson was the most brilliant man. Maths student at Cambridge, and wanted to convert to English. The tutor asked him to write something interesting. He wrote about Ambiguity, as a positive thing, rather than a negative, and changed Art. This poem is about memory, but it’s about social media really.

“A young Joe Piscipo taught us to laugh” - a perfect line from The Simpsons. And for a UK audience, a very specific example of that exotic American laugh that contains a brand name or celebrity you don’t recognise, but is all the funnier for it. For me, Joe Piscipo is from The Simpsons, not SNL.

I must say, as I move through this life, I cling to the unshakable opinion that the Mr Plow episode of The Simpsons contains more breathless laughter and inspiration than most other cultural artifacts of human civilisation.

This is a very good category. Quite elusive and prone to misinterpretation. No rib-tickling satire please. I’d put Zoolander right up there, along with Step Brothers . #DumbMovie

Memory: Marylebone Station . Saw @BigBoyler on the concourse. Camera at the far end. Must be filming. Turned to my left, and Chris Guest was there. He put his finger to his lips. Absolutely. Turned round, and saw footballer Dennis Wise, who had nothing to do with any of this. Strange day.

There’s a fine line between We’re Gonna Score One More Than You, and You’re Gonna Score One More Than Us. And I think it’s the Tottenham goal line.

The Order is a terrific film. The lonely vistas of Hell Or High Water, the Mississippi Burning sweaty terror of grass roots Aryan madness. Nicholas Hoult terrific, Jude Law a little bit special. @marcmaron born to play Alan Berg.
