Billion dollar idea: Branagh's Much Ado About Nothing holidays. Swan around a Tuscan villa in white dresses and no bra, looking hotter than anyone has ever looked, eating grapes and making fun of men in leather trousers.

Johnson's very presence corrodes honesty. I've spoken before of the Nov 2016 RUSI disinfo roundtable where I and the "Cabinet Office" rep were the only ones saying Russian disinfo was instrumental and had to be tackled. Everyone knew. No one else would say it because No. 10 liked the result.

There is a timeline where a Macklemore's gigs become a Live Aid style moment for the next generation. That's what Ed Sheeran is on the wrong side of, Live Aid 2026.

I phoned up a shop (reluctantly) to see if they had a book in shop. The young person on the other end of the phone acted like I was talking to them from a Ouija board.

Join your local MakerSpace, it's a communist workshop for weirdos. Other positives: 1) You can play with 3D printers and then get bored without buying one. 2) Once board you can find another weird thing to learn. 3) Everyone is very nice.

This stopped me in my tracks. An independent study by @qmul.bsky.social has found that after ULEZ was introduced, children’s lungs grew faster in Central London and have now caught up with children outside of the capital. Incredible.

Seeing a lot of preening moralizing about Luigi, as if it's bold and novel to say stalking and murder are wrong. Of course they are. Try grappling with the morality and legality of nH Predict, a profitable war of attrition against rehab patients to whom UHC owed a duty. Shouldn't this be a crime?

A federal court ordered UnitedHealth to reveal how its nH Predict claims algorithm worked. The lawsuit’s real story is the money, not the machine.

One of the best things about working at Motorcycle News was when a new bike came in, or a weird bike ALL WORK WOULD STOP and everyone would go and have a look, maybe bounce the suspension a bit.

If you aren't sure what to do for the eclipse, and have not got special glasses. Please take this tip. Stand under a tree, one with dappled light. When the eclipse happens LOOK DOWN. All the patches of light under the tree will turn into crescent moons and you will feel incredibly witchy.

And then just as the kids managed to drive away the hostile dinosaur. ANOTHER ONE APPEARED. The dinosaurs continued to attack all afternoon, it was brutal. Anyway, if anyone needs a fresh take on a Jurassic Park script. I've got first hand experience.

Two dinosaurs eating children in a water park, as nature intended.

This year, I have this thing about 'how can I make it one better?' So for my daughters 4th birthday we had a water party at the park, BUT DINOSAURS ATTACKED. Luckily all the children teamed up to defend the water.
