Rory Stewart and Alastair Campbell face each other like the Federer and Nadal of credibility. Their court is not clipped perfection but a clearing in a forest of understanding. Knowledge spectates on three sides, like curious trees. A chair turns its back. Too much truth perhaps.

One of the most enjoyable ‘work’ books I’ve read - lots of practical tips, laugh out loud moments, some surprising history, striking visuals, and counterpoints to the usual PowerPoint bashing

Excited to start relished.co with @g_l_daniell to help retail brands extend the pre-recycling life of their products - starting with apparel. Would love to speak to anyone in retail who is looking into trade-in and resale!

Oh yes I remember finding that substation one genuinely disturbing
It's day 18 of the Scarred For Life Advent Calendar: watch out for that kite! And that car! And that broken bottle, that electricity substation, that sparkler, the hooded monk by the lake... It's the golden age of public information films, when everything was out to get you.

This week I feel I’ve really nailed miming bass while a 10 yo belts out Rolling in the Deep. The chorus simply demands the overbite

For admirers of Endurance and Sir Ernest Shackleton's trans-antarctic expedition 1914-1917, I have cleaned & enhanced these 107-year-old paget plates taken by Frank Hurley. The last shot is of Shackleton himself. They are all original colour (not colourised).

I always had a soft spot for @Paul_Mariner, RIP. Found this from 83-84 when my Saturday afternoons were spent copying pictures out of football annuals #itfc

In the first lockdown it was regular company for runs and source of surprising facts, bracing autobiography, laughs and the odd tear - all with an underlying sense of calm. Even the ads are good.

I used to cherry pick by subject before realising it's immaterial, there'll be something unusual and universal regardless - #3 on googling strangers a case in point.

A few weeks ago, there were a couple of popular tweets declaring that the "mad umbrella shop" and "mad sailor shop" in London had survived the pandemic. It is with regret that I report that the "mad sailor shop", Arthur Beale's, is closing, one of the oldest shops in London.
