Cycling, cricket and a few beers. Preferably in the North Yorkshire sunshine. Meat means murder.

You need to break this habit of checking your feed the moment you open your eyes in the morning. Nothing good comes of starting your day with high anxiety. Nothing good happened overnight. A broken world won’t mend because you read how it’s broken; it’ll just break you. This has been a note to self.

You have been visited by the smiling Stock Dove.

It grants you great wisdom and fortune.

Close-up of a Stock Dove, showing its soft grey feathers, glossy black eye, and a hint of iridescent green and purple on the neck. Its slight upturned beak and gentle expression give the impression of a serene - and mysteriously knowing - smile, set against a softly blurred green background.

Sometimes I worry that I might not be very smart but then I find free sidewalk cheese and everything's ok again

Will the detective investigating your murder be sad?
A spoof of an infographic showing a map of Europe, colour-coded by which countries will offer food to visitors. The caption is "Will the detective investigating your murder be sad?" The Nordic territories are labelled "sad", Northern Europe is labelled "sad & wet", Eastern Europe, Southern France and Northern Italy are labelled "sad and drunk" and the Mediterranean nations are labelled "sexy". It's less funny when you explain it, to be honest.

What is the difference between weather and climate. This #dataviz shows the "Central England" average temperature for periods ranging from 1 day (weather) to 30 years (climate). This shows the climate signal emerging. Note the varying y axis that covers the range of the data.

This is the oldest ad in my collection right now - from 1712, an advert for a stagecoach from Edinburgh to London, taking thirteen days...

Fear leads to anger,
anger leads to hate,
hate leads to suffering
and then it's the first turn on your left, beside the Tesco Express.

Oh boy, $150,000!
Lotty Earns @lottyburns You're offered $50,000 but if you accept it, the person you hate most in the entire world gets $100,000. Are you taking it?

Not only is borrowing books from the library something you can do, it's something you *should* do. Supporting libraries is good for authors *and* it's good for libraries. Go get a card, walk inside, take out some books, read the books, books are great, libraries are great, life is amazing.

DO NOT DRINK THE TUDOR MILK
A gallon of milk whose sell by date reads, "SELL BY OCT 23 1538" - Which would mean it should have been sold sometime around the final decade of the reign of Henry the Eighth.

Really not a fan of the wind. Why is the air in such a hurry? Where is it going? It's already outside, where else does it need to be?
