Profile coming soon, when I think of something half-witty to say
I’ve been to every single QEDCON, bar one. It was incredibly bittersweet to see it end. So @theghostgeek.substack.com described the whole thing through the years perfectly.

Flying visit to the (last ever?) QED and a blur of faces old and new - chats planned and unplanned on everything from true crime to AI in healthcare and loads to think about - thank you @erasethistweet.bsky.social for sorting me a ticket! Hope everyone has a great rest of the weekend.

January 20th. The birthdays of David Lynch and Tom Baker. Quite apart from them being huge influences on my life (the permission to be weird, basically), they’re both oddly adorable as well.

This is one of the reasons I’m not on Twitter as much these days (aside from Elon Musk, the terrible Lex Luther tribute act who now runs the platform). None of the bastards on there told me 1990s BBC series “Cardiac Arrest” (a Jed Mercurio original) had been put on iPlayer.

If you’re around Manchester on 21st September (next Thursday) go and see @robinince.bsky.social at the Contact Theatre. He’s amazing and his new show is great. Also, I’ll be there watching along like a pleb 😁

Apparently, having a “Live, Love, Laugh” decoration in your home decreases the house value. I beg to differ with this one.
