I convinced a lot of people to invest their life savings with me except I used all their money to buy myself a leather jacket and a jukebox that only works when I hit it.

I’m now being investigated for running a Fonzi scheme.

I re-watched and re-enjoyed Fiddler on the Roof recently - 181 minutes. A lot of good films are (wrongly) rejected because they are 'too long' or 'old'.

There is no point at which all schoolboys were obsessed with Hitler, or even most. Perhaps it was just him and his chums?

I like to imagine range of responses to things like this:

Data scientist: my alternative map is neutral
Design/digital: give users options to control algo
Open/competition: open up data & allow more providers
Pro-big tech: it works fine
Free market: daily bidding for top spot, no, hourly bidding!

'We invited a homeless man for dinner - he stayed for 45 years' The man was only meant to stay for a day.

I thought this was going to turn into a story needing its own True Crime Netflix series, but no.
This is quite something.

b/w photo of a man in socks and sandals, jacket, short and jumper, in front of a wall with a bike leaning on it, and with a pipe in his mouth. If you wanted one image to sum up the word β€˜nonchalant’, this would be it

It’s the 111th anniversary today of the birth of Harry RΓ©e, who was a teacher and conscientious objector when the Second World War broke out, and by the time it ended, when he was 31, had invented β€˜blackmail sabotage’ and got a DSO, an OBE, a Croix de Guerre, and a Medaille de la Resistance

On the right, the coliseum. On the left, a model of the coliseum, fashioned from custard creams. It's a bit sketchy in its details, but... custard creams!
