They should build loads of data centers all over the place that contain huge quantities of books that people can borrow for free if they fill out a form to get a data center card and promise to return the books on time and don’t make too much noise in the data center.

The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui at the RSC - vibrant, relevant, chilling. The cast is excellent, I really enjoyed the staging, and Mark Gatiss is transformed, superb, and repulsive.

#1961club Anyone read The Methods of Sergeant Cluff? Cluff the detective and Clive the dog (who he writes like a person) and throw in a Barker (not a dog). I was a little confused and not much entertained. Not a classic in the series imo.

Newspaper columnists are in a unique position to shape the political agenda 📰 But the profession isn't very accessible. Our research found that half of Britain's newspaper columnists were privately educated. This figure is up from 44% in 2019 and 43% in 2014.

Danai Gurira Pens a Love Letter to ‘Sinners’: “Stop Trying to Categorize It”
The first movie I ever saw in a theater was E.T. I was about five years old. I can’t recall every detail of that day — the popcorn, which parent I was with, or if I was wearing my favorite blue sneakers — but I remember the feeling. I remember how deeply it moved me, how much love and fear and pain and joy I felt for this strange little alien. My relationship with cinema was born in that moment: a sense of connection that lingers long after the credits roll.

Poem with a subliminal message.
Resolution
 
Having failed to keep
A new year’s resolution for
Pretty much ever, this year I resolve to
Play it safe. The trick is to know
Your limits. Keep it simple.
 
Now what I resolve to do is to
Eschew a poetic form. Abstain from
Writing an acrostic for a whole
 
Year. A resolution, I think,
Easily done. Eminently achievable.
A piece of cake. Oh,
Rats.
