- Turns out @ucl.ac.uk have a gorgeous observatory pretty local to me. It'd be rude not to see it. Huge thanks to the UCLO team for their tour - loved seeing the systems first built over 100 years ago as well as the latest systems and learning about their work. Great stuff.

- I think my favourite line in Katamari Damacy is when a cousin attempts an explanation of why they're on earth, and the King replies "We have no idea what you're talking about." Excellent.

- Almost sounds trite, but... if you like something, or want it to exist, it does help if you pay for it. It's so easy to assume someone else will, or there's money from elsewhere, but... if you can, it makes a difference. So, scripted audio comedy? I like that, I'll buy some.
- I'm not saying to go broke spending every penny on every show's patreon or subscription or whatever you listen to, but if you've got the resource to, there's almost certainly something you watch or listen to that you can throw a few quid at that may actually matter.

- I'm just saying you could leave a few fake Tory MP defection speech drafts around parliament and see what fun happens when Kemi finds them that's all
- Will Amol Rajan leaving the Today programme stop me from joking he's applying for every BBC job going each time one comes up? Absolutely not, I'd need to come up with a new joke and I only have about three.

- Reposted by Jon CresswellVery sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.
- A couple of days late to this detail, but from IGN: Rockstar tried to NDA a group of MPs who were meeting them about claims of illegal firings for union busting, incredible, that's the most Rockstar thing to do, well done. Hilarious move. www.ign.com/articles/gta...
