    Like a toddler in an impulse control test with marshmallows, I'm going in hard on the out of date brie. If my listeria makes me a burden on the NHS, I'm sorry. If it all goes Wuhan and I'm responsible for the crossover of something new from cheese into humans, moreso.

    Brie that's been open for seven days but says eat within three. Safe? I want the opinion of an actual qualified cheese/human microbiologist, not your common swagger.

    Oh wow, geographically localised audio adverts for a local shopping centre, in a podcast. Presumably from the podcast server knowing my IP address. Not hugely creepy but still sort of startling the first time it happens in a different medium.

    I’m (hopefully) being boosted on Thursday. If you’re interested in how the booster roll-out is going - including in comparison to doses 1 & 2 - we’ve got the data in the data report 👇🏻. It updates regularly AND don’t forget you can always see all out code!

    Great piece. Cars should be treated as the lowest priority road user in all urban road planning decisions, and pay their way.

    Late to this party but the Beatles' Twitch stream is a bit slow. Also Glyn Johns looks and acts like a cheeky time traveler from the 1990s.

    More convinced than ever that Oxford is the greatest town on earth (reasons I'll share another day). This video starts on Walton Well Rd. The factory's now flats. The guitarist, she is sadly deceased. The singer I saw in the dentists waiting room last year

    I've always felt that "immortal time bias" sounds very sunny. An immaculate, untouchable state to which we should all aspire. "Get out of here. I'm in my immortal time."

    Not one for selfies but delighted to say I saw and in 3D last night (and we all picked the wrong end of the camera phone to make eye contact with.)

    If you're looking for an indulgent child/adult present this has entertained two strata of children in our house so far. Be prepared for the adults to be intellectually stretched about 2/3 through the book, and possibly.. to get stuck. Which is good!

    Derek Bailey's documentary on improvisation is on YouTube. A great window into where structured composition comes from but: also, if you think music is a mirror onto other cognitive activity, all utterances and novel intellectual output.
