Ted Lasso season 4 is officially confirmed and I think it’s because we all need an emotional support show right now.

Does anyone else get annoyed at themselves after doing a little job around the house, going to delete it from the to-do list, only to realise that it was never on the to-do list in the first place. Like, I wanted the satisfaction of that part, past me!

Wrote myself a to-do list for the day, in priority order.
And now, because it’s the most fun and interesting one, I want to start at the bottom and working my way up.
Might I be ever so slightly neurodivergent?

Played D&D for the first time in years today and hearing the words “How do you want to do this?” made my soul explode out of my body in delight. I’ve really missed it.

denormalize using “pussy” as a word for weakness/fear. pussies are the strongest most resilient things in the world. instead, i recommend we use “cock”. cause when a cock is afraid it shrivels up and becomes pretty much useless. thank you for your consideration 🙏

If China has done to Sam Altman what his OpenAI has been accused of doing to creatives, it would take a heart of stone not to laugh, says Guardian columnist Marina Hyde

I'm so sorry I can't stop laughing. OpenAI, the company built on stealing literally the entire internet, is crying because DeepSeek may have trained on the outputs from ChatGPT. They're crying their eyes out. What a bunch of hypocritical little babies. Cry more, freaks.

Andor is my favourite piece of Star Wars since Empire... The other monologues in it are flashier but this is the one for our times.
The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort… Oppression is the mask of fear.

I wonder sometimes if my gradual radicalisation of the last ten years is a natural progression, or a reaction to the world lurching politically in the other direction. Makes little difference I suppose.

I’d like a scientific study commissioned as to why it always pours with rain when I’m driving to and from Wolverhampton. It seems to happen far more often than statistically probable.

Instead of Whamaggedon, might I suggest that instead people announce when they’ve been “Binged” and heard Bing Crosby singing White Christmas for the first time in the year. Because it’s not really Christmas until you’ve heard his dulcet tones.

As the Eras tour ends this weekend I really hope Taylor releases the remaining (Taylor’s Version) albums and rides triumphantly off into the sunset as the biggest thing on the planet. Giving herself an absolutely clean slate to do literally anything she wants to next. She’s earned it.

Remarkable really, how a piece of music can bring tears to your eyes, give you goosebumps, and make hairs stand up on end, all in just seconds.
Music is one of the great magics of the world.

Love this review @emilygarside.bsky.social - I just saw the West End cast and almost all of this applies with them also. How lucky we are to see a great show evolve this way.
New Review: Hamilton at Wales Millennium Centre, with an added deep dive on revisiting Hamilton, now the dust has somewhat settled on it (it's a review with added bits not an academic paper, others have done deeper-deep dives)

1. I’m pretty sceptical about representative democracy: broadly speaking, I think it’s a contradiction in terms. But if we are to have such a thing, it should look like the assistant dying bill debate in Parliament yesterday. That debate showed us what we are missing all the rest of the time. 🧵

Why can I fall asleep in front of a movie for ten minutes at 8:15pm and then can’t fall asleep at 11pm for real. I just don’t get it. I’m tired, body, just sleep.

Can’t stop thinking about the John Williams documentary on Disney+. Partly because his music is peerless brilliance, but also how much it rekindled my love of movies generally, which lately has been very much on the back burner.
