As someone who wrote their undergraduate dissertation on the food and culture of Pixar, I genuinely enjoy how many times @JamesAcaster and @EdGambleComedy manage to drop Ratatouille into conversation on @OffMenuOfficial. 👌
It’s Friday afternoon.
@hootsuite has an overloaded server.
Marketing executives around the world sigh as they fill their mug with tea, coffee, whisky and hashtags. In that order.
“It’s okay.” They smile weakly. “I didn’t want a weekend anyway.”
Yesterday, buried deep in the second hand shop at @shugboroughNT, I found this little gem. So of course I’m replaying @trufelman’s plaid episode of Articles Of Interest.
Deliveroo is unveiling a cashpoint that will dish out free bacon sandwiches to help Londoners cope with their hangovers during the festive season https://t.co/1TK9kbxB6u

Yours truly’s sign writing. 🤹♀️🎨 I also approve this message. Grab a book. Learn a thing. (I’ve loved reading @kassiastclair and @JanineBenyus lately)
Cosy evenings curled up with a book can help you escape the nights drawing in.

Hey @Twitter it would be really nice if you dealt with the whole username hoarding issue...
