Absolutely loving Small Prophets, it’s training a lot of will power not to binge it all in one go. Just what the world needs right now. Funny, beautifully observed whimsical. In fact Detectorists and Small Prophets are the balm to the dopamine rollercoaster of doom scrolling.

Great chance to quiz Tara about this year's @beyondconference.org (23-25 Nov, 2026) if you're considering joining us in Salford / Greater Manchester. We'd love to welcome even more international guests this year! [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Traitors. So good. But possibly the least helpful bit of scheduling in modern history. How am I supposed to convince over tired kids they can watch it on catchup without hearing spoilers at school 🤯

Kids away on a school trip. Kidmin pressure off? Nope. That Duo Lingo streak won’t preserve itself. 🙄

Taking some small advantage from the dog’s 6:30am Sunday wake up call!

Rather lovely projection mapping to celebrate VE Day.

The Assembly on ITV is such a tremendous bit of telly. The emotion the group gets from their interviewees is quite something. https://www.lep.co.uk/news/opinion/columnists/the-assembly-review-the-only-show-in-which-an-interview-with-danny-dyer-could-move-you-to-tears-in-the-right-way-5110405

Wonder Panic. A brilliant phrase that sums up so much about AI. I didn't know where it came from until this week. H/t to artist Alan Warburton, you should check out his video: https://theodi.org/news-and-events/news/wizard-of-ai/ a brilliant thought piece on what AI means for the creative industries.

Wild garlic.

In a change to the awfulness of every other social channel or news outlet everywhere. Here’s a spring morning…
