Saw a lovely post saying “the point of art is to connect with another human”, but it’s not even that. Art is expression of the human condition, as selfish as it might be, and it’s often wholly selfish

I’m reading two Bill Brysons back-to-back and while I adored Bill when I was a teenager, as a proper adult he’s a bit much. Gawd help me I might have to start taking Paul Theroux seriously or something

Have foolishly told the kids we’ll make biscuits tomorrow. So that’s them up at 5am, absolutely clamouring to make shit biscuits from an out-of-date kit

It's Friday Murder time. This week is about abortion and the law and once more asks the question "when is a murder not a murder?" In 1828, a major piece of legislation combined a load of different laws around interpersonal violence. It was called the Offences Against the Person Act 1828

I grew up on stories of Henry Blogg. Henry Blogg was a lifeboatman at Cromer who couldn't FUCKING SWIM. His gallantry won him a BUNCH of medals (go look him up or read Cyril Jolly's biography). He went out to sea in a glorified rowboat. Over and over again.

I whinge about this a lot but the enshittification of McDonald’s makes it just a completely depressing experience every time. In my day taking more than five minutes to assemble two Happy Meals would’ve been a matter of personal dishonour
