Today’s poem is called ‘How Much I Dislike the Daily Mail’.

How Much I Dislike the Daily Mail

I would rather
eat Quavers that are six weeks stale,
blow dry the man bun of Gareth Bale,
listen to the songs of Jimmy Nail,
than read one page of the Daily Mail.

If I was bored
in a waiting room in Perivale,
on a twelve-hour trip on Network Rail,
halfway through a circumnavigational sail,
I would not read the Daily Mail.

I would happily read
the autobiography of Dan Quayle,
1001 Things You Can Do With Kale,
selected scripts from Emmerdale,
if it meant I didn’t have to read the Daily Mail.

Far better to
stand outside in a storm of hail,
scratch a blackboard with a fingernail,
be swallowed by a humpback whale,
than have to read the Daily Mail.

If I was blind
and it was the only thing in Braille,
I still would not read the Daily Mail.

My feed is an endless sea of posts about Jeremy Allen White being cast as Rotta the Hutt and I am so here for it. 😂 #StarWars

So far, #SkeletonCrew has a fun tone, engaging production design and a lively score, and is an endearing, seemingly low stakes romp. At Attin is an interesting twist on the lost treasure trope too, with the pirates seeking the kids' homeworld. Excited to see more!

Yes, I'm religious. I believe in the Holy Trinity.

I really enjoyed #StarWarsOutlaws #WildCard. The Morenia cruise ship section was the highlight for me, but all of the component missions showcased the game's strengths. Can't wait for A Pirate's Fortune with Hondo next year! ☠️ Here's hoping Jim Cummings makes a return... 🤞🏻

So, are we getting the first #StarWarsOutlaws story pack today as well as the big 1.4.0 update? There doesn't seem to be much noise about it.

A sad C-3PO story in three quotes: AOTC: "I'm not worried, R2. It's just I've never flown before." 😟 ROTS: "I think I'm beginning to get the hang of this flying business." 😄 [Has mind wiped] ANH: "Oh, my. I’d forgotten how much I hate space travel." 😟 Womp Womp. 🎺 #StarWars #Threepio #C-3PO

I grew up on these streets (as well as those streets)

I have to say, #StarWarsOutlaws really is great. It has tons of neat gameplay systems and Kay Vess is such an engaging and charismatic lead. The world is so detailed and true to the source material with countless deep cut references. Can't wait for the DLC! ✨

Dave Watson piece on #ITV dreadfully sad. It's not just about compensation for this individual case though, it's about protecting future generations if they're more likely to suffer dementia as a result of heading a football. More should be done. #ENGROI #ENG

Well, this seems a bit nicer than that other place doesn't it? Fingers crossed that it stays that way, and that more people make the jump...
