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.

For me, Anthony Head's stand out role was in the BBC Radio 4 comedy Great Expectations as the evil nemesis of Pip Bin - Mr Gently Benevolent.
That delicious evil laugh!
RIP Mr Benevolent.

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

God speed to one of the greatest drummers of all time, Blondie's Clem Burke.
This entire drum beat should be put in The Louvre.

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.

Tesco, good, occasionally busy later. Sainsbury’s, moderate to good, rough in toilet roll aisle.
Asda, light to moderate, heavy crowds by evening.
M&S and Co-Op, fair.
Waitrose, fair to moderate.
Lidl, rough at first, easing later.
And that’s the end of the Shopping Forecast.

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 ❤️

London please help. I’m praying for a miracle, I’ve just got into the office and noticed my mums locket (in all these photos) that I wear every day has fallen off my neck on my walk in. My mum died when I was seven and her jewellery is most of what I have of her. I’m devastated
