Like seeing the last twenty years on fast forward… I reviewed the tv documentary Twitter: Breaking The Bird for @theipaper.com inews.co.uk/culture/tele...
This Twitter documentary proves it was broken from the start
'Twitter: Breaking the Bird' is the inside story from the very beginning through to its acquisition by Elon Musk

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.”
Absurd we still need to go through this

‘This is a thriller of the sort that involves people in suits talking at each other, with the occasional close-up of one of De Niro’s troubled eyeballs’

My review of Zero Day, for @theipaper.com inews.co.uk/culture/tele...
Robert De Niro can't save Netflix's glossy, empty Zero Day
If you watch hoping to see a society wrestling with a digital apocalypse, you'll be disappointed

Phone now sends me transcriptions of voicemails. Very confused by this one until I listened to it. Turns out ‘sexy literally’ is in fact ‘Specsavers Bletchley’

please enjoy this "vintage movie poster" I saw in a dream which was so funny to my subconscious that I immediately woke myself up to write it down for later

Trying to buy a new vacuum cleaner. Do you like your vacuum cleaner? If so, might you tell me what it is?
I am so tired of reading about vacuum cleaners; also, generally.

Kids dislike mincemeat so we thought we’d try to top little pies with marshmallow.

Do not do this.

Just been to see The Polar Express which is batshit insane but then I saw Tom Hanks’ assistant’s name on the credits which reminded me of this. If you have a few minutes, it is incomparable harpers.org/archive/2021...

I reviewed the latest instalment of The Famous Five for @inews.co.uk

inews.co.uk/culture/jemi...
Jemima Rooper's return to Famous Five is gorgeously retro
The BBC's big budget family thriller is still as delightful as ever
