Turning to @dogfood for details on what I missed:
Highlight of session: Ben Stokes is hit in the groin with the ball. TV shows 20 slo-mo replays of Stokes collapsing to the ground in agony, even using a magnifying glass. Cuts to several male spectators, faces no less contorted in pain #TheAshes

Highlight der Session: Ben Stokes schlägt sich den Ball in die Klöten. Das Fernsehen zeigt zirka zwanzig Zeitlupen, wie Stokes schmerzverzerrt zu Boden sinkt, setzt sogar eine Lupe ein. Die Regie blendet etliche männliche Zuschauer ein, deren Gesichter nicht minder schmerzverzerrt sind. #TheAshes

Two wickets fell in one over (plus a dropped catch) just as I was booking room in a Premier Inn. Should I book another to get more Aussie wickets to fall? #TheAshes #Gabba #TestMatch

I didn't need to look at the score I just looked at comments on #TheAshes feed. Oh well, I've got my morning back
Can someone please, for the love of God, grind out a chanceless, 2-an-over ton...? Is it too much to ask?? #theashes

The upshot of the Budget leak is: the OBR uses Wordpress and makes use of a plug-in that allows user to bypass logging in, enabling them to directly access documents even if they'd been scheduled for future publication. Pretty much inviting security breaches

OBR says Budget leak 'worst failure' in its 15-year history
The government's official forecaster investigated how crucial documents were published ahead of the chancellor's statement.

A great point. I work as a writer and find it helpful to have some source material such as interviews printed out on paper that I can annotate. I go through three or four drafts usually and print those out too. I'm viewed as eccentric for doing this. I literally could not do my job on screen alone
I still distribute readings in paper form & require students to annotate w/highlighter & pen. Many studies of the differences between digital v material reading practices demonstrate the benefits for comprehension / critical thinking. Physically engaging w/texts demands more of your brain.

Born Tomáš Straussler he became Tom Stoppard. A genius of the English theatre. Last play of his I saw was Leopoldstadt in 2021. A glorious engineer of theatre has passed away. Long may his words inspire.

Hellun's lucky her mum and dad bought her some Montbeliard's isn't she? And a little dairy with a little window. And were thoughtful enough to set up a farm. That all sounded so Marie Antoinette to me just then. All she has to do is float around in costume, zero effort or risk required #TheArchers
