Look, Americans, British homes aren't designed with air conditioning in mind. Our architecture values other things: heat retention, space management, trapdoors, automated breakfast-serving mechanisms which can be operated by a literal dog

Was so tired today I drank extra coffee this morning and now I’m not going to be able to sleep. And so the cycle continues.

The story of the losers is full of meaningful silences and William of Normandy’s terror.
