Season 2 of Dinosaur is out today on BBC iPlayer, and soon on Hulu. It’s a great show you should all watch, and one I’ve viewed as a kind of thematic companion piece to Orla!, even though only one features mass murder and giant man-eating monsters. Funnily enough, NOT the one called “Dinosaur!”

Bad Squiddo is 11 Years old this month! I've been reflecting A LOT. and the conclusion is I am really really proud of it. It's been extra hard growing a company while sticking to my guns on lots of things, & sometimes frustrating, but the payoff is THIS *gestures around* and a warm heart. I love it.

things Liz Truss will say have been infiltrated by the blob as the year goes on: I'm a Celebrity, the presenting team at GB News, her Uber rating, a dog that declines to let her pet it in a park

In April 1976, in a café at Cambridge railway station, Douglas Adams bought some biscuits. We know this because he told the story so many times that it somehow opened up a wormhole in the space-time continuum, travelling both forwards and backwards and, intriguingly, sideways in time. (1/some...)

I never realised Twin Peaks had the same population as Kirkcaldy. Definitely a higher ratio of weirdos in Kirkcaldy
