“I’m confused. We’ve always been taught not to share personal information or anything that identifies us online because it isn’t safe. Now they want us to do exactly that to access social media.”

MAXIMUM PLEASURE GUARANTEED (Apple+): Some goofy plot holes, but very entertaining. Copy-editors are an unused fictional resource. Who's a better detective than a good copy-editor?

This is free advice from an expensive psychologist. If you’re an anxious person, do everything for fun. Go to a job interview for fun. Submit documents for fun. Start a blog for fun. Anxiety feeds on importance. Don’t make everything a matter of life and death.

As a Gen Xer, how many times have you started typing a reply to a post, gotten halfway through, and then realized you just don’t care enough to finish it?

I've finally figured out who Kier Starmer reminds me of!! It's Ted (the evil robot) from Buffy.

@PiersUncensored @KemiBadenoch @piersmorgan What an informative interview. I of course like her sharp tongue in parliament but I did not realised she was that with it.

I'm all for language evolving but I'm drawing a line at 'glow up' and 'level up'. How about 'brain up' instead?

A herring is a fish.

When a herring is preserved by salting and smoking, it turns red and smells.

It's so pungent that it's a great diversion to distract hunting dogs from their trail.

Now, a ‘red herring’ refers to anything that diverts attention from the issue at hand.

@OxUniPress Hello, I'm having trouble with my login to Oxford Dictionaries Premium, which I pay for as a freelance copyeditor. It keeps logging me out throughout the day so I have to keep logging in, which is eating into my work time.

The best actor on Friends is undoubtedly David Schwimmer! I mean, just look at him 😂
