Had a very enjoyable afternoon watching Forgotten Island. Music for the adults, eye catching animation for the kids, and a decent story to hold it all together.

Happy crisp sandwich day for all who celebrate. Just some salty crisps on sourdough with a streak of tommy k. And some side crisps. #crispsandwichday

Johannes is just THE BEST, and I will fight anyone that doesn't like the joy and encouragement he brings to the post dance interviews. #scd

In the BBC’s podcast about the Russell Brand trial, it’s noted that a witness talked about being recorded without her consent by Rosamund Urwin from the Sunday Times. You’ll be shocked to discover that The Times podcast on the same trial doesn’t mention that evidence.

Just went and watched Digger I have absolutely no idea how anyone couldn't be awed by how good it is. An absolute masterpiece. What is the role of art? What is the role of art in a collapsing society? What makes a story truthful? Just staggeringly good

I don’t normally post media appearances, but this feels like an exception. On Politics Live today I’d planned to discuss Green Party infighting after the Zionism motion, entryism, Labour’s response. That kinda thing. It ended up with… well, you’ll see. Final segment. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

It keeps happening. Trump’s been interrupted by hecklers multiple times in the past few weeks, in deep red areas, in pre-screened crowds. They’re weak, and more people see it.

Well this failed
