Channel 4 has written all its show descriptions in rhyming couplets for #NationalPoetryDay, it really brought a smile to my face

It looks like quite a short book but it’ll be interesting to see how MM weaves her story

Madeline Miller has a new book out today called ‘Mestra’. I adored ‘Song of Achilles’ and ‘Circe’ so excited to get this! #BookSky

Still thinking about the new episode of Silo that dropped yesterday, absolutely incredible television. I assumed it must have been the season finale but no, there’s one more episode to go!

Great line from Sorkin's version of 'To Kill a Mockingbird' that I watched last night: "A mob is a place where people go to take a break from their conscience.”

Lies. It's 200 times when solar panels are "mentioned" in the fire report. e.g. “the fire did not reach the solar panel”

I don’t like when people think Being A Dick is the same thing as Having Balls. It’s not. Not even close. In fact there’s a Vas Deferens between them.

One of the fun things about the Pokemon Go/Pikmin Bloom games is that they’re low key educational
A screen grab of a Pikmin Bloom stop. It’s a florist window with a white wall, the wall has a blue plaque on it. The text under the photo says, ‘Keith Richards Lived Here
Distance: 32,960m Heath, Dartford
Rolling Stone Keith Richards Lived above the florist before he became immortal’.

Our criteria for success are disastrously skewed. In my view, a successful person is one who does more good than harm, on any scale. On this measure, most billionaires are massive failures, while humble folk in my neighbourhood who look after other people are highly successful.

Conspiracy theory is a bit like Dr Who: seems interesting to the casual observer but is largely comprised of people who will shout at you for being stupid if you haven’t memorised decades-worth of completely fictional narrative.

It would be nice if there was a "save draught" option in real life, whereby you could keep all the cold gusts of wind that numb your knuckles in January, and bring them out in July when it's 29 degrees at two o'clock in the bastard morning and you can't sleep.
