A lover of facts in a post-truth world. Former Sunday Times hack turned comms adviser. It's my irritability that keeps me alive and kicking.

🚨 BILL GURLEY: “I would encourage people to read as much as they can about Anthropic … I don't think they think they're writing software. I think they're midwifing a deity.”

JASON: “I know some of these folks … They believe they're so powerful, that they can create God.”

I love Philip Roth.

Quote of the Year

[Paul Durman @Durmanator]

I keep thinking it’s time to re-read Catch 22.

Just because you’re paranoid, it doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you.

[Simon Schama @simon_schama]

There are moments when I REALLY wish my friend (Catch22) Joe Heller was still alive to hear stuff like this ...all that's stopping shipping is...sinking, death and a bit of destruction now and then

Good to see that Soo Catwoman merits an obituary from @thetimes - complete with references to the Bromley Contingent and pictures of Rat Scabies and Wreckless Eric. RIP

“Since the readmission of the Jews to England in the 1650s (thank you Oliver Cromwell) until 1960 (when a Jewish student was killed by fascists), not a single Jew was killed in our country for being a Jew. This is unique in all Europe and the Americas.” https://t.co/Wu04mW8j6J

Powerful stuff from Irwin Steltzer, once my colleague, I guess.

Dickie Bird's magnificent knock has come to an end. He was so good. And so eccentric. He is completely synonymous with English cricket in the 70s, 80s and 90s. Can't think of another official, in any sport, who was genuinely as famous as the players. Raise your bat, Dickie.
