My daughter got a label maker from a relative for Christmas and it is truly the gift that keeps on giving. Not sure what I'm going to do when she actually learns to spell properly.

"Perfection is impossible. In the 1,526 singles matches I played in my career, I won almost 80% of those matches. But what percentage of points did I win? 54% In other words, even top ranked tennis players win barely more than half the points they play. When you lose ever second point on average, you learn not to dwell on every shot. You teach yourself to think: 'Okay, I double faulted...it's only a point.' 'Okay, I came to the net and I got passed again...it's only a point.' Even a great shot, an overhead backhand smash that ends up on ESPN's top 10 playlist – that too is just a point. Here's why I'm telling you this. When you're playing a point, it has to be the most important thing in the world. And it is. But when it's behind you, it's behind you. This mindset is crucial – because it frees you to fully commit to the next point with intensity, clarity, and focus." –@rogerfederer

I wrote a piece about protecting institutions from polarisation. I didn’t write the headline - I believe no-one wins in the culture wars. Greater public involvement, with people from all walks of life, is the way to protect institutions for the future. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Spicy from @UniofReading comms! Fair play to them for calling out the crazy accusations and using it as an opportunity to promote their expertise.

A few people’ve asked about the impact of the Daily Mail’s wokesconegate, on sales of National Trust scones. The ‘scone per visitor’ trends in the 10 days following the news were:
Cheese (non-vegan) = no change
Fruit = no change
Plain = 15% increase
Victory to woke scones 🫡
