Damn. I'm going to miss Eleanor, Chidi, Tahani, Michael, Jason Mendoza (Go Jags!), and Janet (maybe Janet most of all), for tomorrow I'll be watching the final (for me) episode of #TheGoodPlace - a towering work of staggering etc etc.

Heaven forbid that we don’t trust our entire futures to artificial intelligence, however, if you ask ChatGPT what the best episode is of Nothing Is Real to listen to, it suggests a load of episodes that have never existed! Ok, computers…

Reading Steve van Zandt's revealing autobiography, and I must correct him. Peanut butter *was* widely available in the UK when you first visited in the 70s. It was on the kids shelves with rest of the American food.

Does anyone know what sort of #mushrooms these are? Internet says they're golden chanterelles, but I'd rather be certain than dead.

Mrs B put this Xmas film on yesterday. It features a LOT of 'adorable' little cherubs singing at the very tops of their wee voices, so I'm making enquiries with the European Court of Human Rights and researching the Geneva Conventions.
