I’m on a small-ship Alaska cruise with my son; our boat rescued a stranded vessel last night and apparently we did that after the Coast Guard radioed Mark Zuckerberg’s yacht - which was closer - and they repeatedly refused to respond.

My random Sam Neil story. An actor friend of mine was cast in a small role on Peaky Blinders. Never receives his script pages. Discovers his role has been pushed to non speaking background, which is less fun/less money. Sam Neil spots him looking dejected on set and finds out.
More Shakira-washing is it then? Where's the charity money?
🚨 Exclusive: The White House made a direct call to FIFA to ask Gianni Infantino to review Folarin Balogun’s red card. FIFA approached for comment and referred to the findings of its independent committee.
Saw this ad for a goat on Facebook. It’s perhaps the greatest advert I’ve ever read. It’s just superb.
I once wanted to do a totally accurate "which Game Of Thrones character are you?" quiz where 99% of people would get "nameless dead peasant".
