today's online parlor game:

Name up to three films whose lines you endlessly quote in all sorts of contexts.

As is traditional, I'll go first:

• Meet Me in St. Louis
• Love and Death
• The Sunshine Boys*

*So yes, films based on plays are fine.

Can confirm this mofo is an effing belter. Really enjoyed working on this one.

And the Mail and the Telegraph welcome their rebellious sibling back into the fold. "We knew you'd join us eventually, brother."

I have never seen such egregious RW pandering from an erstwhile sticking-up-for-the-little-guy paper.

Our privatised water system is broken - and water lobbyists have worked hard to shut down alternatives.

In July the People’s Commission is launching a people-first vision for our water in Parliament.

Your MP needs to hear about it: actionnetwork.org/letters/ask-...
Ask your MP to show their support for a people-first future for our water!
We can make our water work for people - not shareholders - but water lobbyists are working hard to shut this solution down. Will you make sure your MP hears about it?

I love how certain cities hold their most iconic musicians as patron saints and part of the city's identity. Minneapolis has Prince. We in Austin Have Willy. New Orleans has Dr. John.

Genuinely curious: Who is your city's musical patron saint?
