🏃‍♂️ Okay, the numbers are in, and there's no chance now of moving the needle: this year, an average of 11km a day walking or running.

Did I miss the calls to strip Lucy Connolly of her British citizenship after her Southport tweets?

🎶 Apple Music is forcing some Rolling Stones/Fatboy Slim mashup on me. LOL, no!

🩹 Broke another pair of reading glasses this evening. Maybe black frames are not the best bet for something you can't see very well and can accidentally sit on!

Cambridge university is building links with Reform UK. Elites don’t get to be elites by mistaking principles for power.

Research suggests that pigeons' magnetoreception is linked to their vestibular system: an extension of their sense of balance and spatial orientation. Amazing and obvious at the same time.

One of my colleagues is doing a sponsored walk this freezing morning to raise money for the National Autistic Society. If you’d like to support her, you can donate on JustGiving.

It’s a cold night and I’m on a crowded District Line train to East Ham. The passenger crammed in next to me is wearing a beanie emblazoned with that well-known brand, Wankiscarf.

I wrote a 700 word elegiac/valedictory piece. I’d been reading about using AI as a writing aid over the weekend, so pasted my draft into Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat with a prompt requesting a light edit. To my surprise, the piece broke Copilot Chat.

Political parties and political comms are run by degree-educated professionals from “elite” institutions. Why is it that the right espouses antivax? Because it helps identify followers: ignorant, selfish people without compassion and solidarity, and heedless of the consequences of their own actions.

🍽️ Another lovely lunch at Marcella in Deptford this afternoon. Apart from family, it's one of the few reasons to go sarf of the river.
