First prize at the Tintagel toy museum: a crawling, cloven-hooved demon baby 🥇

I don’t think anyone’s getting custody of JD Vance. He’s going to end up in one of those sad “adopt me” boxes in Pets at Home

A vintage Easter card showing an army of rabbits riding cockerels into war

For those who celebrate: may your #Easter weekend be as strange and random as this vintage postcard.

#BlackMirror Common People 👏What an incredible opener. Chilling and bleak as all hell (my favourite flavour).

Yes! No spoilers but #Severance finale was perfect 🗂️

One of the less important questions raised by the astonishingly good #Adolescence - do all the little coloured hearts really have different meanings??

RSC 2025 production of Hamlet

This was fantastic! Really fresh and compelling. Go see it if you can!

Stage Fright was a gloriously fun ride 👏9️⃣🐇 #InsideNo9 #No9 #StageFright

True. And it can’t be fully predicted, but ultimately this finale would have been more interesting without the Seer. Freddie would still have voted for Charlotte at the penultimate round table, creating some jeopardy without completely scuppering her chances after an excellent game

Highlights: haunted dolls and backwards nursery rhymes

Low point: the Seer 🫤

Frankie voting her voice least relevant and then not being listened to was possibly the funniest thing to happen this season #traitors #thetraitors #traitorsUK

Love how every player banished since day one has given it “I love everyone here, you’re like my family”, but Dan went with the much more accurate “remember we’ve only known each other two weeks” #thetraitors

Enjoyed the number of times Brian Cox simply said “no” in #CunkOnLife

Holy shit. This being billed as Comedy/Drama is a bold decision.

completely not over Feathers McGraw's other disguises

One of my favourite background jokes from the truly excellent new Wallace and Gromit #vengeancemostfowl 🌹🏆

You can't go wrong with an Edith Nesbit story. So for day 23 of #ghostsoftheseason, we have “The Shadow” (originally published as “The Portent of the Shadow” in 1905), which starts with the tradition of telling ghost stories at Christmas.

The surprisingly recent invention of Friday the 13th For anyone who is even a little superstitious (and superstition sometimes feels more like an unavoidable burden than a conscious choice) the arrival of yet another Friday the 13th sends a little chill...

Unluckily for you, I've written about the folklore of Friday the 13th in @thespectator1828.bsky.social www.spectator.co.uk/article/the-...

Guy on the tram repeatedly clearing his throat by suddenly screaming. God bless noise cancelling headphones.

David Lynch describes going to to Bob’s Big Boy to drink vast sums of coffee and chocolate milkshakes

Picked up this little book of writers’ writing rituals, & I think most of em are liars — “up at dawn, 6 hours at my desk, followed by calisthenics, liquor, & reading edifying works.” But David Lynch delivers the goods.

Another day, another design for a ballet costume for a vegetable. Today’s special: the radish (pen and ink and watercolour on pencil, V&A)

Glad to hear I’ve finally won something (the ear lottery). AirPods Pro are bob on.

Disquieting is the word. Loving #TheListeners on BBC. Top drawer creeping dread and really beautifully shot.

Pre-2022, before it was a silly game about blue ticks, I would have paid a fee for #Twitter. The immediacy of news, hashtag commentary, community, humour, and the ability to DM businesses and services was amazing. I loved it. Now it’s barely worth having for free 😔 A sad demise. Long live #Bluesky

I think I'm just going to put on noise canceling headphones for the next four years.
