I'm not saying Tim Apple knows that the world will end on 9th June, but my calendar has stopped displaying any days after that.

In Red Dead Redemption 2, when the sun spills out from behind a dark cloud at the same moment as the actual sun lights up the actual closed lounge blinds, then truly I’m experiencing the full glory of nature in the very best way I’m sure, I tell you what, no doubt about it.

(Obviously, I haven't checked its maths or anything; it's "excellent" purely because it exists.)

I found other people online also confused about the energy expenditure of dragons but the only excellently detailed thing was this brief paper, 'How much energy would be required for Game of Thrones dragon Viserion to destroy the Wall?' https://journals.le.ac.uk/ojs1/index.php/jist/article/view/2582 I would like to see an update based on GoT S08E05.

The Age of Point-at-Things So Long As JavaScript Works OK And You Don't Mind If The Things Are All On The Same Page Somewhere If You Scroll Enough.

This isn’t intended as a put-down of the rest of it, but the silences in that episode of ‘Game of Thrones’ were very good.

Ooh, Flickr is separating itself from Yahoo's login system. Happy days.

CONTENT

Dear Guardian, If not enough news has happened, feel free to publish one less article rather than publish an article about a man considering doing something.

I think the Guardian’s perfect story, the one they’d most like to happen, would be Phoebe Waller-Bridge triumphing in some way over Mike Ashley. Readers would never hear the end of it.

Does anyone else use their RSS/KML/ICS feeds from Foursquare/Swarm and found they stopped working recently? Mine all 404. https://foursquare.com/feeds/

I have a cabinet full of emergency shadows.

LIVE: I am resigning from cabinet, standing as a leadership candidate and resigning the party whip. I have the greatest respect for my leader, am joining the Independent Group and the ERG, have no confidence in my leader, and I fully support a no deal soft Brexit hard referendum 2.0.
Stay tuned for further news.

Because sometimes only 'The Flumps' theme tune on repeat will get you through the day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQGPC6W7eSw

Ooh, Holly Herndon at the Barbican in October… https://www.barbican.org.uk/whats-on/2019/event/holly-herndon-proto

Last night I discovered that WordPress.com's very good import tools (like, import your Medium.com export files) exist on their Free plan, but not if you upgrade to Business.

I woke up this morning and apparently this wasn't one of the several WordPress-oriented half-awake dreams I had last night.

I can recommend playing this music whenever you're watching footage from the House of Commons. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_B0CyOAO8y0

Oh for the certainties of a time in which everyone could be divided into only three Arks.

Also, Hancock. "Stone me. Have you gone raving mad?!"

I can't decide if Victor Meldrew would be Leave or Remain. Either way, he'd be a little annoyed.
