Geologists are so sexy when they refer to something that happened 30 million years ago as “incredibly recent”.

May have overdone the whole Scottishness thing. Also I keep losing my notepad.

Idea: Money For Nothing by Dire Straits, but it’s about some musicians getting their Spotify payout and envying some guys they know with solid, well-paid jobs in kitchen delivery.

Legal Bluesky, advice? A friend was the victim of a transphobic attack today (physical and verbal), including vile slurs. The police demanded they disclose whether they are trans in order to progress the case. Surely this is wrong - it's a hate crime even if they were only perceived as trans?

I am now on annual leave and will probably not be contactable for a significant chunk of it.

And Tom Chadbon gone, one of the best things about one of the best Doctor Who stories. "That's a spaceship!" Interviewed him way back when and was lucky enough to have him in one of my audios playing a dotty time scientist. Lovely fella and did good work.

The argument usually boils down to “this person, who seems in every aspect to be a Nazi, cannot be a Nazi, because Nazis are socially unacceptable, and he is being accepted, for example by Me.”

UK peeps: for reasons that must remain obscure for now, I need to source something that looks like a lemon, but is not a real lemon. The squeezy Jif Lemons of my childhood are gone, right? Any ideas for what could pass as a real lemon?

What do you mean, I have to wait until 17 September to read the new Emily St John Mandel. #Outrage

I mean, Peter Jones, obviously

You suddenly get a narrator describing your life and there’s no way to turn it off - everyone can hear it. While shopping, at work, at home, with friends - the voice narrating your every move goes on. Who do you hope is the voice of this narrator?

I can't believe #TOTP is being delayed until 9pm to accommodate some prog thing. Two hours? Is the BBC planning to play one whole entire concept album about Hobbits, teapots and enchanted sitars?

SkyCards peeps: you’re all parked at Oshkosh this week, right? Catching those Turbo Bummers, Milf Trainers, Macho Stinkers and the incredibly rare 1968 Flaps Aplenty? Good good.

Managed to put lipstick on this morning without looking like Robert Smith. Where's my medal.

So, Amnesty are legally obliged to report themselves to the Charity Commission because of this fuckery. Good job the Charity Commission isn't stuffed full of bigots. They also apologised and said the language in the report didn't reflect the charity's position. So yeah.
