I would pay extra for ‘no food allowed’ cinema screenings.

YES!!! Oh so pleased for you all! Lovely Friday news.

Front cover of paper back book ‘So Many Ways to Begin’ by Jon McGregor on a table with a couple of garibaldis next to it.

Had to sit after finishing this and just contemplate the characters and the decades of story. Multiple passages had me pinballing through emotions and one line left me making an undignified noise. So Many Ways to Begin by

Slightly bereft at finishing it.

Ha! Ta, it was yesterday and luckily was working from home and didn’t have tonnes to do!

Good morning. I think I woke up approximately 38 times in the night and it felt like I’d had a different dream each time.

The final time required a bit of ‘who am I, where am I, what’s going on?’

I’m still not 100% satisfied by the answers.

Exactly. Media even having around the cemetery near their graves.

Huntley was battered in prison.

Absolute ghouls descending on Soham.
Get fucked.

The lack of empathy shown for the families by plastering the murderer’s face in the papers and the picture of Jessica and Holly is just depressing.

BBC Four is repeating This Life to coincide with its 30th anniversary, beginning with a double bill on Wed 18 March with a new filmed intro from Daniela Nardini. #ThisLife

I have badly cut my finger and am therefore taking the executive decision to help the healing by crashing on the sofa and reading all day.

It's genuinely wild to me that everyone went "fuck no" to glasses with cameras and wi-fi 15 years ago when it was Google doing it, but aren't losing their minds that Facebook are doing it again now with an added bonus layer of shitty AI applications.

“Prime Minister, Prime Minister? Any response to President Trump saying the UK has been ruined by windmills and is under Sharia Law?”

“Yeah, fuck off dickhead.”

I’m oh what I wouldn’t give for someone to just say that to him.

🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.

This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.

Please spread the word.

Everyone connected with Arsenal celebrating that goal…apart from the ball boy who’s LIVID:

I called ‘goal’ as soon as it left Bruno’s foot! Big fan of Big Ben.

Oof. And that’s harsh.

That is a very soft penalty.

Yeah. And reverted back to too many players being static in possession. This is where we need a leader to give everyone a mouthful.

I am. Trying not to worry that this is second game we’ve gone back to slower movement and passing! I BELIEVE.

A still from Silent Witness. A scene in a car with Amanda Burton and Idris Elba.

One of my favourite things watching old programmes is catching actors before they were bigger stars. Already had a strubg out Emily Mortimer and now Idris Elba!

I have never watched Silent Witness so started from the very start.
30 years old?
It’s great to watch something that doesn’t explain the plot or who everyone is every 10 minutes. And characters talk like people.

Chapter 1 of Moby Dick, page 1 The phrase ‘Call me Ishmael’, the first sentence of the book, is highlighted in blue, with careful highlighting on the very big C at the start. Above this, written in ballpoint pen ‘His name’

Love the glimpse into the beautiful mind that notated this used copy of Moby Dick I got

this is an absolutely astonishing feat of independent journalism, top to bottom, and proves that the only way to truly fight billionaires is not being funded by them. just…read the whole thing.

Been looking up why Copernicus believed heliocentric theory and now can’t remember what the train of thought was that made me think I needed to know this…

Not a day goes by I don't wish I could wear blinkers like a horse. Oh what's going on over there? NONE OF MY BUSINESS.

I think the ref should just book Bruno and say “that’s for being a whiny little twat.”

He watched one. Appropriately for his family’s interests it was the Di Caprio one.

I mean, I’m sure he’s SUPER busy with all his jobs but as president of BAFTA is it too much to expect WIlliam Mountbatten-Windsor to actually watch a couple of the nominated films? Like, more than one?
“Oh his Uncle was arrested.”
Ok, like, last week. He’s had months to watch films.

Exactly!
