The algorithm: I heard you like one bed flats so I got you a one bed flat to put on your one bed flat so you can look at your one bed flat while you're using your one bed flat
Excited that the algorithm, seeing the one bed flat I have acquired, thinks I want loads more one bed flats

This is very nearly quarter of the way there already, which is amazing.
What would be even more amazing would be if it got even closer over the weekend. All shares enormously appreciated. And obviously any donations too.
I know many of you will already have done something to help the people of Jamaica, but if you felt like helping a specific family, this is the GoFundMe set up by my son’s girlfriend for her relatives, who find themselves in dire straits. Every bit helps, shares appreciated. gofund.me/9b5b74984

I don't know what is happening in this photo because I don't pay attention to things but I did think there was a Darth Vader head on display when I had a look just now
This is officially one of the strangest pictures in American history, and I do not doubt that it will be considered iconic a hundred years from now.

100% serious here.

There's something of a 30-50 feral hogs feel to this quote.
Elon Musk, "These lovely small towns in England, Scotland and Ireland, they've been living their lives quietly. They're like hobbits"

"And so one day, 1,000 people show up in your village of 500 and start raping the kids"

"This has now happened, God knows how many times in Britain"

Really well worth watching this clip. Kirsty remains one of the Welsh Govt Ministers held in higher esteem by people who have worked with her.

To hear her voice breaking as she describes the effect on her family of her political life is utterly heartbreaking. 👇👇👇

Really, absolute props to the sales guy for a well known payment processing provider for emailing me to tell me
1. I was right to hang up on him a few weeks ago
2. To suggest I read "the diary of a CEO" by Stephen Bartlett
3. Remind me that two of our major competitors have recently gone bust
