When I got pregnant, I did not think ahead to the moment 11 years later when I would have to stand on the edge of a football pitch in the pouring rain in December.

Don’t EVER let your printer know you’ve waited until the last minute and you’re in a hurry, because it can sense fear.

My best tip for anyone trying to get back into reading is to remember that you can read books to avoid other responsibilities in your life, and it can become a vice if you play your cards right.

HOW LOUIS THEROUX OUTMANNED THE MANOSPHERE, by Kathleen Stock (@DocStockk) For people who talk endlessly about escaping ‘the matrix’ — meaning the 9-5 grind, labouring away fruitlessly for the benefit of shadowy elites — manosphere influencers, ironically, are almost entirely made up of other people’s projections. They pine desperately for public attention, and are constantly conjuring up ways of getting more. In Louis Theroux’s latest documentary, everyone is trapped in degrading roles, passive in the face of their own limbic systems — the streamers themselves; the half-naked OnlyFans girls straddling them for the camera; the liberal feminists and fat-positive influencers wheeled on to be horribly insulted; the viewers doing the slack-jawed scroll in their bedrooms, dreaming of having big channels one day too. This urge to be famous starts young. For every massive streamer account, there are thousands of unknown ones made by children, where pre-pubescent wannabes film themselves gaming or reacting to videos. In a parallel universe, boys like this grow up to have happily ordinary lives, unnoticed by the all-devouring algorithm. In this one, though, they get caught up in a freak show, dutifully becoming pitiful monsters. Read more below ⬇️ buff.ly/M4mpqgJ

My son just got an offer from the Inns of Court College of Advocacy. I am absolutely over the moon for him. He’s worked so hard to get here, and he’s completely dedicated to the idea of joining the criminal Bar. If you hear champagne corks, it’s us!

‘I’ve been swept up by the autism spectrum idea, and it’s only in the past 10 years that I have felt things have gone too far. Very slowly, I have come to say, “No, this is not right”’: Autism expert professor Uta Frith talks to @Helen_Amass tes.com/magazine/teach…

reading this Uta Frith interview in TES. It's so important on the expansion of autism diagnoses to include almost anyone, many of whom would be better described as having social anxiety. This bit in particular on masking seems really insightful tes.com/magazine/teach…

If the Royal Society held an investigation into whether or not the world is flat, would it be disqualifying to membership for a physicist to have previously expressed disdain about flat-earth beliefs? thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…
