I know there's a ton of stuff happening in the world today, but feast your eyes on this beauty...
Proofs are in, and we cannot wait for everyone to discover this extraordinary story! ✨⭐️ #MAGICHOURBOOK @woollensocks
This is brilliant, sobering — and well worth a listen. Weather events like this have shaped our story, and will continue to do so. With the ever-eloquent @peterfrankopan (whose Earth Transformed is also essential reading).
I did a podcast with @bbcworldservice on the Godzilla El Niño - and on some lessons from the past for what's coming towards us.

In the 1950s, an average working class man could buy this house, support motel guests and a stay-at-home mom.

As a huge Smiths fan, I also find this delightful.
"Past Instances In Which I Professed To Like You Were Fraudulent" is especially 👌
(And special thanks to Eamon Doyle for coming up with this & @GCS_Pottsy for bringing it to my attention)
I saw this online and it made me burst out laughing, as someone who listened to a lot of The Smiths as a teenager. @thatbilloakley @Joshstrangehill #thesimpsons #morrissey #thesmiths

American filmmaker David Lynch has died, aged 78.
In 1990, he spoke to Barry Norman about translating ideas to film, his 1950s influences and the 'lucky' untied shoelace that may have helped him win the prestigious Palme d'Or for Wild at Heart that year.
Now on Netflix, Carry-On is a tense thriller set at an airport during Christmas starring Taron Egerton, Jason Bateman, Sofia Carson and Danielle Deadwyler. Check out the trailer! ⬇️#CarryOn whattowatch.com/watching-gui…

Sorry, but I really hope people who love #thewildrobotmovie know it was inspired by my book. It's mentioned in the credits but most people don't read that stuff. If you love the movie you should check out the book! There's more to the story and it's a quick read. #thewildrobot

I retraced my steps and asked in Munchies cafe as that was the nearest spot to where I thought I had heard the clink and some kind soul handed it in and the staff had it for me. I’m in floods of tears, the chain seems gone but I have the locket. Thank you universe ❤️
