Having a think about sperm whales this morning. Specifically, how they routinely make one of the most nightmarish journeys imaginable as part of the ordinary business of living.

This fleshy, pink smiling face is made from living human skin cells, and was created as part of an experiment to let robots show emotion. Read more 👉 newscientist.com/article/243685…

In 1977, it seems, my mum got badly overdrawn and tried to get the bank off her neck by writing a poem. More astonishingly yet, it appears the bank... um... wrote one back. Well played, Midland. Well played mum.

The movie 'yesterday', but Jason Statham is the only person who can remember what sausages are, and he keeps desperately trying to show butchers and they just laugh him out of their shops like "mate who wants a condom full of mince??"

Seriously though imagine how easy it would be to make a version of black mirror to scare medieval guys: "A crabbe comes forth from clockeworke and pincheth a man" "A yeoman boileth a potte but it shrieketh at hymme" "A ghastlye play, acted out by imps upon a flat glasse"

Just remembered the existence of this fucking *sublime* candid photo of me, in chef's whites, genuinely passed out on the sofa of a mansion after 18 hours working in the kitchen. Gets even better when you clock the terrifying figure in red, lurking in the shadows next to me.

So at 6am, @Glitter_brawl & I are going to start a back to back marathon of the 3 LOTR films (long versions), and I've prepared a 14 course 'meal' to reflect what gets eaten on screen. Dad died a year ago, and this seemed by far the most reasonable way to commemorate that.

Here's the menu, which is based entirely of my rough memory of the key eating scenes in LOTR. Feel free to follow along if you like. LET'S GO

Twice-Dead King series probably most relevant to this :)
