Really struck today by how many of the people most responsible for the Brexit shitshow were actively rewarded for their stupidity/dishonesty. Knighthoods, Damehoods, peerages, newspaper columns, seats in the House of Commons… It’s a mark of how deep the rot has gone into the fabric of our society.

Don’t recall there being much outrage when Conservative Downing Sts in every administration of last 14 yrs doled out honours to scores of backbench MPs basically for just being MPs. We should have far fewer political honours but the thrice elected Mayor of London is a weird place to start.

Temple of Doom is my favourite Indiana Jones movie. Not the best, but my personal favourite. The opening 15 minutes is the best start to a film that I can think of.

1) This feels like really good, bold public interest journalism by the BBC! 2) If you were around social media / online publishing circa 2014 and followed The Social Chain, it was soooo baffling to watch his reinvention as a business guru. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Really enjoying Skeleton Crew. The more they veer away from the Skywalker Saga, the better #StarWars gets.

One time I spent five minutes at lunch drawing a reverse centaur and it became one of my most retweeted pieces of art. I resented that so I deleted it but now it can be free again because not enough people follow me on here for it to go big

Momentous events in Syria this morning. The 54 year rule of the Assad family appears to be over, with rebel forces taking to state TV claiming President Assad has fled Damascus. The prime minister has said he will hand over power to the opposition and has called for elections.

Never, ever put off buying book one of something because book two isn't out. That's a good way to ensure book two is dropped by the publisher. Sure, a couple of big noisy boys have let you down. Most of us can, do, and are burning to in fact finish what we started, given half a chance.

Across Europe and the US, neither the centre-right nor centre-left (i.e. Liberal democracy) know how to deal with the far-right insurgency. Why? Because they have no policy to deal with growing inequality, unlike the far-right, which (acting on behalf of billionaires), pretend to
