If you're a government who gets offended when you're compared to fascists and dictators, then arresting journalists for just doing their jobs seems like a step in the WRONG direction...

Oscillating wildly between KEEP CLEAR OF ME and simply NO

By contrast, on the day of the US election results last year, a friend and I went for a very glum walk. We passed a favourite restaurant which had open doors and staff inside, but they were just setting up and not able to serve food for another hour. Still sold us a consoling glass of wine though.

I do realise this isn't the world's most pressing issue, but why does Ed Sheeran think it's a good idea to write a song that contains the phrase "your eyes exploding"?

I am finding this very disconcerting

Duo you've gone too far this time

It just kept going!

John I've just read the extract in the Guardian and it's absolutely beautiful (and so are the pictures). Looking forward to the book

Passing probe captures images of mysterious Mars moon Hera spacecraft takes photos of red planet’s second moon, Deimos, while en route to asteroids 110m miles away

If I vote for you can I have a visa to Corgi Island? Pleeeeaaaaasssssssseeeeeee

YES! Can we also track fuck-ups that mean they have to backtrack - e.g. having to rehire key staff or rescind email instructions? Happy to help/donate/support however I can

Traumatised flashback to getting the last train out of Waterloo at night, which always smelled overwhelmingly of McDonalds 🤮

I rage quit WaPo a while ago but I'm considering signing back up just so I can rage quit all over again. Bastards.

This made me cry a little bit (in a good way).

Land’s End lighthouse fog alarm sounding every 13 seconds Buy a set of earplugs, maritime charity advises those hoping to sleep near Cornwall’s Longships Lighthouse

I'm 5,000 miles away from this news story, but listening to a foghorn right now. Over the years I've grown to find it comforting.

Still feel sorry for the poor folks near Land's End in Cornwall though!

I think this every time I see him.

I can only imagine the guts it takes, and THEN to be yelled at by that orange buffoon and Appalachian Ken doll and not lose his temper... I'm in awe.

This piece resonates even more after seeing that disgraceful display in the Oval Office.

Nothing describes Trump better than "changeable, highly emotional, susceptible to whatever he last heard and clearly instinctively pro-autocrat."

Thank you Ian for giving me a little hope.
