I watched the Manosphere documentary because I feel like I have to because I have a 4yo boy, and I'm finding out how into The Matrix these knobs are; red pill, The Real World, the Morpheus hands. Do any of them actually know it was made by trans women?

Counterview - they would suddenly realised how vacuous their job was and get some sort of satisfaction from doing something physical that has immediate tangible results.

Although my point of reference is my CEO who started a charity so he may not be your average.

A photo from behind the scenes on filming Revenge of the Sith. Against a bluescreen backdrop, George Lucas snarls and raises his hands to the sky, as Ian McDiarmid in full costume as Palpatine, does similarly in the background.

can't believe we're really getting the taxation of trade routes being in dispute *and* a blockade of deadly battleships

Any link to Musk? I know he got caught training his AI to have very apartheid views, but I lose track of how much access he had and to what.

Same today in this house. Husband was on call, 4yo starts getting involved, when he hung up on the junior doctor, son starts screaming that he "needed to tell Romesh about booowwwliiiingg!!"

tom hanks is kind of the forrest gump of being in movies about history

... there's the time one staff member told another that a customer had wine up his jumper. Staff stopped him vocally and physically, made him lift his jumper. Customer had a colostomy bag. It was awful.

But Farage is garbage regardless.

I worked in Marks for 12 years. It is frustrating to see people steal, but staff couldn't understand we were telling them not to stop people for their safety - you don't get paid enough to tackle a guy who has sewn dirty needles in his jacket!
And then...

There's no indication that Cody from the Rescuers Down Under intends to go back for those other animals in McLeach's lair. He very explicitly tells Marahute to take him home. And the McLeach is dead so effectively, so too is that lizard, koala, and oddly handsome kangaroo.

WIRECUTTER Microplastics Are Everywhere. Here's How to Avoid Eating Them.

Ok step one is to make them look less delicious

My 4 year old is very nervous of everything, and amongst many other things we have to take batteries out of toys that make noise. Yesterday he asked to have batteries in a helicopter thing, and had noisy, glorious fun with no fear all day. He seems so pleased with himself! I'm happy for him.

We stayed in one recently, checked in at 11.30pm at night. They gave us a room with key, when we got in we realised it was already in use! Thank god the person wasn't there or we'd have scared the daylights out of them, but we also could have helped ourselves to anything, or far worse.

A jar with a lot of green slime at the bottom, with a Lego minifig in it. There is a paper sign reading 'bum clouds' stuck to the glass.

A jar with lots of green slime, a tortoise set in jelly, paper bums stuck to the glass, and a bit of rainbow ribbon.

World Book Day.
Book in a Jar.
Far Out Five, by Olaf Falafel.
Featuring bum clouds, animals and people in snot/jelly. And some rainbow barf.

4yo is so pleased with himself.

A boy is giggling for the 5th time that some wording on the cover of The Far Out Five book is made out of bogies, and pointing to it

Ours arrived yesterday, and 4 year old has told several people repeatedly that the words 'snot jelly island' appears to be made out of snot. Winner!

Annoying, we're seeing you in Chelmsford but live near Sudbury! Have post it in the school WhatsApp group, hopefully people go for it!

I didn't know about this, and it's fascinating.

But that is a dog's snoot.

Tomorrow. 4PM GMT.

Whenever my 4yo asks me to tell a story about whatever I like, I plagiarise the hell out of Tolkien, Dahl, Blyton, everyone. One day he will realise I'm not a storytelling genius but I'll bask until then.

The problem with the traitors this series is that noone is funny. Funny is key. If there's no cutaways to quips then it's just annoying people saying stupid things and being aggressive.

Missed your earlier mention. Now for a very dull Comms note; it took a whopping 3 clicks for me to find out the name of it is 'Murder of a Famous Bastard', make sure you mention it/link if you're grabbing casual (read:lazy) people like me. Subscribing now, sounds intriguing!

I got 68, with my top 2 albums being Bluey and Rug Island.

My son is using his bottom teeth to scrape the middle of an Oreo out and it's setting my teeth on edge.

I truly believe the programmes for little people are the single most important part of the BBC.

New one for my parenting scrapbook.
Kit screaming and crying on the loo because he can't pass a painful poo. Finally succeeded with bribery, and me doing..... (I kid you not...) the voice of his arsehole telling him to get on with it.

There are many subtle and complex arguments one can have about the future of the BBC — but I guarantee you that no other channel or streaming service will be as committed to factual programming, children’s education, history shows, religious discussion, poetry, arts, or state of the nation debate

Bucket of gravy.

Boooo

I'm so delighted for whoever wrote the puzzle that stumped Stephen Fry, I know you did a fist pump and you deserve it #traitors
