no mortal ever knows happiness and good fortune all the way to the end. each one is born with his bitterness waiting for him. linus and charlie brown walk outside in the rain, linus says "that's a good system!"

going down to london during the film festival but only having a ticket for an unrelated wim wenders repertory screening... that's chic (didn't get tickets for any festival stuff)

spent my lunch break making a large pot of soup (+50HP) with the radio on, which was playing trump's speech from the knesset (-100000000000HP)

large patches of dry pavement where parked cars have protected it from the overnight rain, like chalk outlines of a body except the crime is even worse

not great, it wouldn't have stood up as a piece about the effects that losing a child has on two nobodies and when it did draw on the fact that it was about shakespeare and hathaway, it was goofy (not referring to bill by name until doing so in the style of a big reveal) or very bad (you will know)

lots of people sniffling loudly throughout 'hamnet' (2025), many even seeming to choose the grief scenes as their moment... look if you're unwell, stay home!

I hope stephen fry is banished by a jury of his peers, made to stand up and do a stupid little speech before never being seen again. no I don't think I've heard of it, what is 'the traitors'?

lots that you could and perhaps should say about this graffiti but really my main takeaway is that it absolutely says vaccine "wurders". you can't get around this

that was a thorough, well researched presentation. I only have one thing I wanted to ask more about. we asked you to talk about policy challenges in the sector between now and 2030 but, if I followed you, this was entirely about whether columbo's wife is real or a conceit he appeals to when useful

snoopy is 75! wow! snoopy realises that he has lived far longer than any dog can be expected to and that there is no knowing if and when he will die. he wonders about why he has been chosen for this blessing, or this curse, but more than that he wonders what he is going to do with all this time.

playing 'r.e.m - nightswimming (later… with jools holland on BBC1, 14 october 2003)' on the TV to signal to myself that it is time to go to sleep, like you would say 'bed time!' in a moderately high pitch to a well-trained dog
