Kim: OK, Vlad, who's up for Carpool Karaoke with Evil Dictators? What's your song? Something by Pussy Riot?
Putin: You are kidding, right? Sorry, boss, I don't like music. And you? NKpop? Is that even a thing?
Kim: I'm thinking Born to Run. My country.

Even if the military research record about Orford Ness is still partly sealed, this hasn't stopped the real seals moving in. In secret, of course, as the manager points out. Thanks @MarkBSalter !

Here's a sign that greeted me on a recent visit to the underground ossuaries of the Catacombs of Paris. No burgers. No selfie-sticks (well obviously). No backpacks on backs. And strictly no fiddling with the remains of the dead.

My brother @OliverWalters11 (in the blue coat) just got elected as a District Councillor in Suffolk, epicentre of the Green revolution. I only study politics, he actually does it!

@mediamorphis Thanks v much, Dwayne. It was good hearing you on
@CBCCrossCountry last week discussing the further concentration of Canada's telcoms. A refreshing change from all that on-the-fence-ism propagated by so many of the CBC's experts.
