Happy birthday Edgar Allan Poe, born on this day 1809. Doom. Plague. Despair. Revenge. Madness. Creeping existential horror. You would have loved 2026.

Bosch runs over to greet me (and see if I have food!) Taken in 2023 at Wolf Watch UK where I’ve been a volunteer member of staff for 7 years. Bosch was raised as a pet before being handed into the centre and I met him when he was just a year old.

Aware that he only had a few months left to live the great Mike Davis gave one of his final interviews to the Guardian in 202. "You’ve been organizing for social change your whole life. How do you deal with a future that feels so bleak?" Lois Beckett asked.

"And what would YOU bring to Reform, Mr Jenrick?" "Glad you asked, Nigel. My special skill is being outmanoevred by Kemi Badenoch. Twice."

I have cultivated a strategy which guarantees I always win at Monopoly: I lose as quickly as possible. The remaining players think I've lost, but they're wrong. I escaped first, so I win.

Got him his favourite food for dinner to celebrate four years since he came inside. Hard to make out, but what you're seeing here is a black kitty sprawled out on a duvet against my arm. Belly up, legs out and snoring happily in a lamb kebab induced coma.

In what's now become an annual tradition, I've written another piece for The Gist about how and why I hate A.I. On a bubble about to burst, a future rotted to its core, and the limits of the Mrs Doyle Theory of artificial intelligence. www.thegist.ie/guest-gist-2...

A poetic legend tells of Kenna, the fairy king’s daughter, who poured the magical herb moly over her slain lover hoping to restore his life — but the spell changed him into a snowdrop. Each year he rises from the cold earth to greet her, a promise of love returned with the light.

This is my jam

Father of two daughters. Started sitting down to pee when they were toddlers so if they walked in they'd see how it was done. 10 years later still doing it; so much more comfortable; less drips and no mess. Men; ignore the propaganda, sit to pee.

Man answering his phone on the train: Yes? Correct, I’m not at work (pause) I’m not going to answer that because I am not at work today. No, you’re going to have to ask someone who is. Goodbye.

I suppose it’s not surprising that this is my favourite yule log, as I made it to my own requirements, but what I like about it is that it’s flourless, which gives it such a luscious, soft texture. It’s also deeply, deeply chocolatey. And it’s #RecipeOfTheDay! www.nigella.com/recipes/yule...
