My word of the day today is ‘camaraderie’
Although I find it difficult to pronounce, and not very easy to spell.
#TodayILearned that Kier Starmer had violin lessons with Norman Cook (of the Housemartins, and Fatboy Slim).
I’m not sure whether this is more, or less, impressive than Tony Blair having been in a band with Mark Ellen (of Whistle Test, and the marvellous @WIYElondon)
They “want to use the glamour and prestige of Premier League football to cover up actions that are deeply immoral, in breach of international law and at odds with the values of the Premier League and the global footballing community,”

There’s a bloke running up the hill past my window, a lot faster than I do.

I’m going to have to go and trip him up if he does it again.
Museums hold Twitter showdown to find world’s creepiest exhibit
According to my phone’s GPS tonight’s exercise wasn’t a run-walk, it was a run-walk-swim t.co/ngWNGF5ut…
A month ago, ‘K’ would’ve been Killing Joke, but then Alicia Keys came out with this and I’m quite fickle
Actually sometimes I’m fickle and sometimes I’m not. :)
I’ll be very disappointed if the little dots going up and down in Teams when someone is typing aren’t exactly mirroring their keystrokes
I always thought that
“Do one thing every day that scares you”
….was a bit ambitious, though
This is fab.
Among other things it features a reading by Mary Schmich, who, it turns out, is neither Kurt Vonnegut, nor an Australian voiceover guy
My word of the day today is ‘reverie’.
Last night I dreamt I woke up from a dream.
Malcolm Muggeridge on the Beatles in 1961:
“ageless children, sexes indistinguishable, tight-trousered, stamping about”, and a group with “weird feminine faces … bashing their instruments, and emitting nerveless sounds into microphones"

I do like The Jam, and indeed I also like jam, but ‘J" is clearly for Joy Division
This is a Joy Division song that was released by New Order after Ian Curtis died

You would expect Twitter to have a good idea what I’m interested in, and, to be fair, books and archaeology are a good shout.
Cheerleading and Richard Branson, though?
If this is #ArtificialIntelligence, then the robots aren’t going to be taking over anytime soon, I hope t.co/fVxG4BFkd…
Having a go at this
Wish me luck
