If you've never been inside the RAS, it is worth going to have a nose around today. Burlington House is 362 years old and has some wonderful nooks and crannies – the RAS library is particularly fantastic. And while you're there, you can also walk into the Royal Academy next door for some free art!

Just a reminder that I coined the term 'starwashing' and actually coined it well earlier than 2025 but it was on Twitter, now the posts are long-gone. Someone else is claiming to have coined this term this year, and I want it noted for the record that I made up this terribly derivative portmanteau😂
