Time for my annual tweet to share the family Xmas quiz. I'd say 15+ is a good score 👌 (will post answers later)

[Rob Macpherson @RJ_Macpherson]

Oh. Guess I should share these

[Rob Macpherson @RJ_Macpherson]

Time to share my annual family Xmas quiz. As usual, 20 questions (loosely) based around the events of the year.

10+ is a good score. 15+ and you can feel pretty smug.

Answers tomorrow. Merry Christmas!

Imagine how much time could be saved if my phone realised I work in comms, not comma

@BenRamanauskas I always thought opening the boxes numerically starting with one, two.. etc would immediately disarm the narrative of choosing boxes based on vibes. I never saw anyone do that so assume the producers prevented it (or weeded out applicants who weren't vibe-based)

Meet the Grahams in A Minor? Stop. It.

There was a *really* good long read a while ago that explained how this was caused by pol journalists in the 70s/80s (first in DC, then everywhere) realising they got more 'scoops' by reporting info briefed by their contacts, rather than explaining what legislation meant

Did San Fran choose to defer the overtime kickoff in the official NFL Films version as well?

[Robert Komaniecki @Komaniecki_R]

Last night Alicia Keys’s voice cracked (first video), and fascinatingly, the official NFL YouTube channel appears to be attempting to erase that little moment, having edited it out in their upload (second video).
