If I can encourage just one person to read this article, and then on to read @dr_mcgilchrist, I consider it a post well spent! Iain's work is (and I know hyperbole is standard, here) life-changing.

@PhilipPullman No, people are saying he's insane. Also, millions of people voted for him to change America, he's doing exactly what was asked of him. It's called democracy.

@RupertLowe10 @OliverRyanUK

@PhilipPullman Yes, because America was SO much better with a poor old man forced to act like a puppet.

@connor_naismith Will you apologise then? It can say an awful lot about a man's character.

@Glinner Have the Alan Partridge writers started scripting for Starmer now?

RT @Reza_Zadeh: GPS is an absolute miracle: we illuminated every inch of Earth with a unique photon pattern.

@WingsScotland Masterful imagery. Haunting, yes, disturbing? That too. But masterful nonetheless.

@OldRoberts953 “The devil's finest trick is to persuade you that he does not exist”

@SenTinaSmith 😆

@JohnDiLillo A threat directed toward young actors. Why am I not surprised? Give it up, berk...

@TheSimonEvans He sounds as if the adults in Peanuts cartoons were made briefly intelligible before resorting back to an off-key waffle.

@Otto_English The world is changing. Stop being a wuss and get on board, stop crying over your keyboard.

@bbcnickrobinson @elonmusk The BBC: "That's a nice little telly-box you've got there, shame if it came to some kind of accident. My associates and I can help you. Don't worry, we'll take care of it."

@DrChrisParry Smashing rides, though...

@LozzaFox There are 1.5 million James O'Brien fans!? Must be clones of the man himself - born in a storm of smug hatred. Please do not approach them.

@mattxiv Or protecting children from a ludicrous cult?

@JoeBangles11 @Ev_deGallery Black Bomber is the very essence of Cheese, a savoury spiritual awakening. I'm quite partial...

@JoeBangles11 DOL (Drooled out loud)

@jk_rowling I'm not entirely convinced that Miffy is a real person, or just another of Aidan Comerford's sock accounts. The self-righteous rants are there, the beard, the misogyny. And the hate - plenty of that.

My goodness! The mere whiff of a long-forgotten aftershave has launched me-30 odd years, headfirst into the past. Memories unlocked by smells are powerful. And bittersweet.
