“Whenever I’m about to do something, I think ‘Would an idiot do that?’ and if they would, I do not do that thing.” – Dwight Schrute
And what is the best way to spot an idiot? Look for the person who is cruel.

This article well explains why teachers in the UK are on strike. (Forget the first paragraph.) ‘The Market’ has wrecked our academic life. opendemocracy.net/en/ucu-str…

Crystal Pite’s Light of Passage @RoyalOperaHouse a ballet set to Górecki’s Symphony of sorrowful songs. Powerful, political, and so unutterably beautiful it reduced me to tears. A perfect example of why we need the arts – all of them.💪❤️🩰 theguardian.com/stage/2022/o…

How many of you know what Cruella Braverman's Public Order Bill contains?
It's frankly unbelievable: legislation you might expect in Russia, Iran or Egypt. Here's a summary from my column today:

If you do one thing between 12.00 noon today (Friday) and 5pm tomorrow it should be to go to the David King design exhibition at Standpoint Gallery, Hoxton: standpointlondon.co.uk/galle… ▶️➡️🔜✊❤️

The exhibition shows work from King’s archive but there is sadly too much here that is not historical. It is all scarily pertinent today.✊#designforchange

Dear @sainsburyarch I particularly like this packaging. The prevalence and placement of the lowercase 'o' subliminally suggests the cotton balls. The alignment of the n, l and l creates the angle and fortuitously the corners of the w and b kiss touch. Subtle use of colour.

Lovely to be @stbridelibrary last night to celebrate the digitisation of their pre-1830s type specimens. Some gems shared by @PauloBarnesi including this unique specimen of typefounder Hugh Hughes. 👏👏👏
