This 1952 memo from the Pentagon UFO files is superb There is no point preparing for aliens ‘because no one of consequence is going to take this rubbish seriously unless it happens.

My partner is going through a Sonic phase. I can only hope that it goes by fast

I wonder, can you make rocket exhaust marshmallows? Creme brulé?

Place your bets on the final runtime now

Hearing that Wes Streeting is heading into the epicentre of the meningitis outbreak fills me with hope

This song feels incredibly relevant today.

I wish every American President a very stop fucking around in the Middle East

I guess we're doing crusades again, because that was economically viable back in the 1300s too
