I'm kinda flabbergasted by all the articles going "mew mew the Lib Dems are irrelevant and in decline" when pretty much every Westminster poll shows LDs holding 70+ MPs while Lab/Tories lose 100+ seats and the Greens gain WOW a dozen or so. Oh, and they're now the biggest party in local government.

Ed Davey’s party are the obvious candidates to push for the deeper local democracy the public is crying out for, says Guardian columnist Simon Jenkins

What scene makes you emotional no matter how many times you see it?

The genuinely magical, lyrical final sequence of the Bob's Burgers episode "The Plight Before Christmas", featuring Philip Glass's Mishima String Quartet on xylophones. Really. Yet wonderful.

Also: the opening 30 secs of this essay features the most accurate (and funniest) description of GU's music I've ever heard. (Fun fact: I almost did a PhD on Ustvolskaya. Alas the "I'll learn Russian, how hard can it be" part of the project proved quite the snag)

My pal Paul points out that the penalty shootout earlier between Rochdale and Boreham Wood pitted Oliver Whatmuff against Ted Curd. “It’s as if I’m playing Football Manager on a ZX Spectrum and I’ve renamed the players myself”

I'm in a very weird shop in Cardiff whose entire USP seems to be "what if Flying Tiger was a bit posh". (It has so many notions they're playing Vivaldi - but not The Four Seasons, they're playing L'Estro Armonico. I appreciate this is niche but it is on point)
