Enjoyed that. And that Trollope flex, something like his word count target meant if he FINISHED THE NOVEL, he'd just start the next one to hit his 3k. Then off to work.

Just seen this. Am a wreck.

There is something quite extraordinary in this BBC Salford studio.

Guardian needs to take a look at its review of this.

Is this the Coachella where Moby headlined? I don’t think Trudeau needs to worry too much about the fellow kids.

were you confident that woody was really engaging with the board? There are some quite significant figures in the autistic community questioning this whole area.

Star Fleet Intelligence. Often mentioned. It's Spy Trek. Space Heists. Undercover face change business a la TNG Enemy's Face.

If there's a more iconic character than Jack reacher, I'd like to meet them- daily mirror

Someone writing about books at the Daily Mirror needs to understand that this can't happen.

[60] Harrison said nothing. The man in front of him looked older than his years. Tall. Refined. He’d seen service. Harrison had developed a knack of spotting Brits who had done their duty. Underestimate those guys? Your funeral. “So,” said the tall man “I’ve laid into you for quite a while. Is there anything you don’t like?” There’s a moment in every negotiation when it could go either way. And it’s in these moments that you find out if the guy by your side is running for the door or staying put. Harrison knew the guys next to him were the latter. From left to right, there was McCartney. A leader, ex-SAS. Best, who had once sat motionless for 15 hours during a rehearsal - and John. Thin as a rake but with a streak of crazy wide enough to land a Hercules on. Harrison knew his team inside out. Might as well test the waters. “I don’t like your tie.” The tall man did not smile. In that moment, Harrison knew. Things Things were about to head south. “DIE FOR A SHADOW” by Lee Child

Engineering Redundancy: Astronauts like Jim Lovell (Apollo 13) and Buzz Aldrin (Apollo 11) pointed out that a pill was unnecessary because their environment was inherently lethal. If a crew was truly marooned with no hope of rescue, they could simply open a vent valve to depressurize the cabin. This would lead to a painless loss of consciousness from hypoxia within seconds, which is faster and safer than a poison pill.

Loving the absolutely solid reasons astronauts don't carry suicide pills.

Thought it was completely fascinating today that from a multi billion dollar science experiment Christina Koch mentioned the moon's spiritual significance for humanity. And I do think that's how a majority of humans view it. Something slightly other and magical.

What do you actually do when you're Microsoft PR team here. It's reputational death when the product is the joke. Ratner-style stuff.

Tim Davie leaves the BBC today, here's a story about him. I was finishing off the doc below in Salford and he just kind of... mooched up to my desk on his own and started talking about it. No PA. Just him wandering about like a factory boss in a sitcom. In a good way.

The ONLY way to get writers over 40 to grasp the career dangers of using AI is a grainy '70s public information film featuring synthesisers and a pylon. It's the only language they understand.

Can't believe Trump's going for Tharg's island.

There are few people who have been ripped off more.

If you want to hear a late era Suede banger, She Still Leads Me On. Brett wrote it about his mum absolutely brilliant #totp

Ted Heath won the Admiral's Cup WHILE HE WAS PM. Politics was different. It's a sailing competition that lasts FIVE DAYS.

Imagine Starmer being asked about an upcoming summit: "I'm sorry I have a darts tournament then."

Kid looks like a good actor. They might have gone a bit more realistically cruel with the Dursleys.

A BBC stock image if a couple doing admin on the floor in an impossibly uncomfortable position

This is of course the best way to do admin. Get down on the floor, get between his legs, twist 90° to the right, and sort out that mortgage.

There's a fact near the end in the video from the guy who harassed Matt Lucas. He is a medical giant. No acknowledgement of how scary that might have been.

That interviewer was honestly appalling. What happened to you. The situation you found yourself in. "The video is posted" Consistently suggesting passivity. Also revealed this guy is a medical giant. Must have been scary.
