Guy selling stacks of copies of the latest Cate Blanchett movie: do you wanna know how I got these Tars?
I cannot wait for the insights on this! He's going to:
1. Sample some local street food.
2. Ride a train.
3. Visit a temple.
4. Not mention the pogroms that the serving Prime Minister presided over.
5. Smile at some elephants.
6. Top up his kids' private school fees.
7. Say "India is changing".
Today in Brum, and delighted to see the new blue plaque in honour of John Baskerville, whose 3000+ typographical punches are in @theul.bsky.social in Cambridge (as well as being a key figure in the Midlands Enlightenment Baskerville was also Printer to the University of Cambridge).
Nina Simone wrote a very powerful protest song called Mississippi Goddamn which ended up leading to her career as a rising black musician to skid off the rails. She writes about the way her government lied to her and millions of other African Americans.

I do think we're entitled to blame the Blues at this point
So tired and old I was convinced the Oscars was happening this weekend.
Why is everyone in town coughing. Cough at home!
I hate everything.
anyway imagine if sunset came with a sound effect. like a massive crunch
ELITE!
HUMAN!
CAPITAL!
sir, flush your damn head
One of the funniest things to come out of this are the brits who won’t leave Dubai even as it’s being bombed. One influencer adjacent guy went on a live stream on his balcony and said he’d rather be killed by Iran than go back to Wigan
The thing with AI causing brain rot is that I know for a fact that I do not need AI for that. I can do it all by myself. I don’t need to kill the environment and enrich tech bros just to know I’m getting dumber by the minute. I can do it naturally.
This is literally our greatest soft power product
I annoyed him so much debating this technique he disconnected the call lol.
Why do TV/internet providers call, ask if it’s you, then ask for you to confirm your name??? Bro, you called me!
“Moved to Dubai for tax shelter and now I’m in a bomb shelter,” says someone quoted in the FT.

Connor Storrie as a stripper on SNL.
Hang it in the Louvre.
My parents have rewatched the entirety of Peaky Blinders - all six seasons - in less than a week, if anyone needed evidence that binge watching is a genetic trait.
Favourite first time watches, February 2026:
🎬 Twinless (James Sweeney, 2025)
🎬 Nouvelle Vague (Richard Linklater 2025, 2025)
🎬 If I Had Legs I’d Kick You (Mary Bronstein, 2025)
🎬 Cold Storage (Jonny Campbell, 2026)
And they’ve only just turned 26 and 25 respectively!
These boys were unknown waiters six months ago, and now they have fashion deals, are hosting SNL, are practically mediating the meeting between the USA men’s and women’s hockey teams on live TL. Just an extraordinary rise to fame and they appear so happy and moved by it all.
The healing powers Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams collectively have needs to be studied and bottled.
Lighting up, kicking back, typing in 58008 and turning that baby upside down like an absolute legend.
I am smooth, I am suave, I am James Bond, I am the Hofmeister bear, men respect me, the ladies love me, thank you Casio
It would be nice to finish the Game Changers series before the world ends.
At this point, this might as well be a plot in Succession because you got billionaires thinking they’re playing chess when in reality, they’re playing UNO. Absolute muppets.
Everything is a Heated Rivalry reference if you’re deluded enough (which I am).
Heated Rivalry reference (tuna melt) in S2 Ep8 of The Pitt.
