I, Claudius is being repeated on BBC Four from Wed 16 August. If you've never seen it, now is the time

Now THIS is literature

This might be the best ad I've ever seen - I mean, you go from having no interest to considering signing up in about 10 seconds.

Thinking about these two posts and how women are ridiculed, even vilified, for things coded as feminine. Men will cosplay, will paint their faces & don costumes for sportsball, watch cartoons, read comics & watch superhero & sci-fi franchises, go to cons & games -

@Turigon Out of curiosity, what are you reading? I think I’ve decided on my holiday books but there’s always wiggle room.

Doing the one bit of holiday prep that I can do whilst still in bed: downloading stuff to watch and read while away. S2 of The Bear and a bunch of Wes Anderson films. Any other recommendations? (Disney, Netflix etc). Am sorted for books.

Just as well we’ve still got ticket offices, isn’t it? #SaveTicketOffices

Yes, my wife has a huge stake in Infosys, and yes, Infosys has major deals with BP and Shell, and yes, that's why I issued new oil and gas licences and yes, I can't remember what point I was trying to make...

The vast majority of new oil & gas will be exported abroad & sold at global prices. It won't improve our energy security, and it won't make our energy bills cheaper either. What it will do is wreck our climate - and Rishi Sunak is complicit in its damage. Spot on @ZackPolanski 👇

@JNRaeside I was wondering why that person had had so little to do. No idea where it’s going now.

sooner or later, not wanting to die was always going to be labelled ‘woke’

@Turigon You have to have a home visit from Aga to see if you’re an acceptable household to have one. Like re-homing a cat.

There is an Aga shop in Harrogate, which surprised me. I always think Agas just exist in the wild and people build their houses around them.

I dare you to read this without getting blurry eyed?

Happy #InternationalTigerDay2023 from this mum who has clearly got her paws full with these hyperactive triplet cubs. Made in the eastern Roman Empire, now in the Cleveland Art Museum. The tails are so expressive

This video put into words my biggest fear surrounding weight loss like it almost made me cry how spot on she is🥺

Yellow car.

Pollution is dangerous to children and adult health. My family was able to stay in London after a battle with childhood leukaemia because of ULEZ. It’s a good example of cross-party collaboration. Conservative design; Labour delivery. And so, so important. theguardian.com/environment/20…

A highly used example of shadows in a mosaic, Gary Drostle's Koi Fish mosaic "Fishpond" used both types with a striking effect. Shadows in this design are used to give fish shape and realism, while 'shadow shadows' are used to connect them to the lake.

Today marks that day where it has officially taken Nadine Dorries longer to resign than Liz Truss was Prime Minister #NadineDorries
