I've seen 22 of the The 100 Best TV Shows of the 21 Century. Wondered where The West Wing was, but that started in the last millennium in 1999.

Just a reminder of some basic economics, as in demand and supply analysis. If you raise the price of something, the quantity demanded will fall. If you raise the price of something that has many substitutes, your total revenue will fall.

9/11 I was working in my office in a college in Somerset , when someone came and said a plane had crashed into a skyscraper in New York.   I went to the BBC News website, but it wouldn’t load. I initially put it down to the college network.

Libraries tossing out weeded titles is not a travesty. 🧵 1. libraries MUST weed. We don't have magic shelves with unlimited space. 2. we do try to find alternatives to recycling. Book sales, free tables, and places like Better World Books get the majority of weeded titles. 1/3

A colleague was convinced I had an Australian accent. Born in Somerset, formative years in Buenos Aires and Essex. Went to school in Cambridge and was at university in Yorkshire. Now living in the West Country, i think we can say my accent is “special”.

Is this the end of selfie culture? So many posts out on the internet tubes about using the front facing camera to take a photograph of the eclipse, despite the BBC, NASA, and Apple saying that will destroy the sensor in the camera. So, no more sensor, means no more selfies…. #SolarEclipse2026
