SIDS is rarer than it was, though still not rare enough

Such a shame, one of my favourite eating places when I lived there. They had a dish that they claimed involved a hundred spices. We asked if it was free if we named them all, needless to say we couldn't

If, as we're frequently told, there's no such thing as a fish, why is it such a big deal that whales aren't fish? Apparently neither's anything else

Tonight at 9:45pm UK time, I'll be appearing on a BBC Radio 3 programme by John Foxx on "The piano of the future". Will also be available for streaming after the live broadcast: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

We should totally have drone shooting as an Olympic event.

My review of The Experiment is now the most read article on the whole of The Guardian website. It is genuinely one of the most shocking, disturbing, and timely things I’ve ever watched. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Staggering good cover of a Richard Thompson song (and his own fave such): Swan Arcade doing "The Great Valerio" www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsgK...

By the time I finally clawed my way up to prof they'd abolished naugy lecs, but when I retire I might organise my own exaugural lecture

If you hear a sudden cry of "Oh Fuck!!!" I might not have fallen, I might just be remembering almost anything I've said or done

November's coming, so get ready confuse your local fash by wearing a covid mask with a poppy design

I gave a talk at EMF titled "Men in Tech #YesAllMen", in which I told my experience of being a woman in tech. I was afraid to publish it in case it affected my current or future employment. With all the current news I would like to add my 2¢. So here is the recording: youtu.be/WXL6K1lhvt0?...

Some years ago, in a fit of enthusiasm, I installed Linux Mint on an old laptop, and every few months I boot it up, install all the upgrades, and then pressure of work makes me go back to my Windows one. I've basically got a fancy Tamagotchi

No she hasn’t. I’m standing on it.

1. Possibly their best song ever. 2. Rarely done live. 3. Was not a hit (should have been massive). 4. William Walton wrote to Pete to tell him how impressed he was. 5. Pete lost the letter.

Outstanding Holy Grail Halloween yard display in Atlanta. @montypython.bsky.social

This is incredibly sad. I once interviewed RJ Mitte on the Southbank and he was very friendly and joyful on a sunny day by the river. He leaves a legacy of disability representation on the screen; something that is far from easy to achieve and still too rare. www.theguardian.com/culture/2026...
