Day 3 of my holiday along Hadrian's Wall. We have only skipped about 15 miles so far (jumping into a taxi and bus respectively), whenever I couldn't carry on. Using a luggage haul service has proven to be essential. Two more days to go! Then off to the Fringe.

We were the first stamps for 3 of the 17 pubs in the NR3 Beer mile this year. Excellently timed holiday!

Edgar Wright didn't get the Bond gig because he refused to consider anyone other than Simon Pegg in the lead role.

Space Marine 2 took at least 2-3 hours of gameplay before I started to feel like I had the hang of it. But it's very immersive when it works. Defending yourself from an attack can make you feel like Tom Hardy split second stopping an arrow to the brain.

Of course nobody who was around when the Equality Act 2010 was debated is still alive today, so there is no way of knowing what was intended by its wording, nor the context of these discussions at that time. All the more so with respect to the 2004 Gender Recognition Act.

If I was a journalist I would ask for evidence of significant duplication between these two organisations, seeing as avoiding duplication is given as the main motivation. www.hsj.co.uk/workforce/nh...

Vonnegut was far too optimistic a guy. You don't have to come out smelling like a rose. You can just convince enough people to love the smell of shit instead.

If you have zero education you might never come to question the social, economic and political systems that you are born into, and can instead become great at word Tetris for your CEO!

Just been to Felbrigg Hall, gardens had a big emphasis on local varieties of fruit. No mention of breeders but there might have been some. One or two apples were named after the Wymondham family.

Weird persistent bright light above Norwich. Can't figure out the cause. Coming from the ground though. And it's not the moon because that's behind us.

We are trapped with a whole media and journalistic generation who have been taught utterly moronic rules and heuristics about 'both sides' and people with extremist views being entitled to a platform. Haven't seen an example as awful as this in a while. Everyone involved needs to feel shame.

Thinking back to the time that prominent public philosophers subjected me to ridicule for creating walls around my twitter account, unfollowing anyone who was comfortable following transphobic journalists, academics, authors, etc. And now BlueSky is thriving because we can all do that shit en masse.

Felt great to join the counter-protest yesterday when Posie Parker decided to bring hate to Norwich. We definitely drowned them out, and were at least twice the size of their feeble group.
