Waving hello to the one other human being who thinks they saw British astronomer and TV presenter Patrick Moore in a 1971 crowd scene on the TV series ‘The Paper’ and wants to see if anyone else had the same experience.

I HATE the Apple update. There is a tiny box to type in web addresses. The screen is covered with floating information which is obvious and obscures what you actually want to see. Stop telling me who I am emailing or texting. I know!! Let me see what I am typing and the chat.

Dear @StarbucksUK
That is a catchy song.
But we all saw the DCC documentary on Netflix so when we see the ads we’re just getting flashbacks of 20-somethings needing hip surgery.

I’m delighted to have secured the adjournment debate this evening 🕖
In the debate, I will call on the government to implement a national strategy, as well as accept the recommendations from the Competition and Markets Authority laid out in their report on the commercial formula industry.

Do you think they have a ‘Conclave movie’ jar in the dining room, and every time someone makes a joke about the film, they have to make a donation?

Anyone else think 'Dying for Sex' is probably the best TV they've ever seen? So emotional, so funny, so human, so compelling. It's breaking my heart and kind of mending it a little all at the same time. #dyingforsex

“Sinners” director Ryan Coogler has penned an emotional open letter thanking fans for showing up in droves to see the film in theaters, writing that his heart is “bursting” with “eternal gratitude.”
“I believe in cinema. I believe in the theatrical experience. I believe it is a necessary pillar of society,” Coogler writes in part. “It’s why me and so many of my colleagues have dedicated our lives to the craft. We don’t get to do what we do if you don’t show up.”

“Breastfeeding isn’t something you have to manage alone. In real life, look for the peer support groups and find other local parents. Groups aren’t just for solving problems but making connections.” – Emma Pickett IBCLC @makesmilk

How intense industry lobbying - most notably by the transnational corporations @Danone - convinced NZ ministers to back down on a new baby formula standard. Some excellent investigative journalism from @radionz that is a must read 👇 @JuliePSmith1 rnz.co.nz/news/political/556…

Every time I see a cute otter meme or a video of an otter babysitting a kitten, I think about Terry Nutkins and his fingers. #GenXProblems
