CUT your takeaway pizza into
evenly sized slices by simply
locating its centre using a ruler and
compass, then dividing 360 by the
number of slices you want. This will
give you the number of degrees
each slice should measure at the
centre. Then use a protractor to
measure the degrees and a ruler to
ensure accurate cutting.

The Longreads Questionnaire, Featuring Rebecca Solnit - Longreads The author of The Beginning Comes After the End talks about jackrabbits, her own “informational hypervigilance,” and the one word she won’t stop using.

What five items would you place in a time capsule?

Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and maybe Mohammed bin Salman, to be opened, carefully, with precautions, in the year 3026.

🎥 Saw a restored 4K screening of ‘One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest’ at BAFTA this evening and it’s lost none of its power. Had forgotten its fine supporting cast included young Danny De Vito, Christopher Lloyd, and Brad Dourif.

Thomas Müller responding to a Kicker question about ⚽️ in North America. (In several parts.)
“You must separate 2 different things.
Football here still has no big significance in the life of the general population. It’s not spoken about in the office on a Monday morning.”

On the left, a woman holds her hand in the air to attract attention while kneeling next to a man who has fallen down clutching his chest,
on the right, a serious-faced man holding a briefcase

Woman:  Y a t'il un docteur ici?.
Man: Je suis docteur. Que se passe t'il?
Woman: Une attaque cardiaque !
Man: Je suis docteur en philosophie !
Woman:  Il va mourir...
Man: Nous allons tous mourir.

Woman: Is there a doctor here?
Man: I am a doctor, what happened to him? 
Woman: - a heart attack

Very sad to hear about Neil Sedaka. Had the pleasure of interviewing him a few years ago. We chatted about the huge number of songs he'd composed, and laughed about him writing his huge hit 'Oh Carol' as a cheeky response to his ex-girlfriend Carole King's composition 'Oh Neil'.
