Very nerdy chat (shock) but big fan of BBC News using a special American-inspired version of their General Election theme music for the Midterms.

This piece hasn’t made me popular with some, but far more journos have reached out to thank me for writing it. Political access, press freedom, the gallery bubble, & the uncomfortable q’s our industry needs to ask itself. My latest for @crikey_news 👇🏼 crikey.com.au/2026/10/07/one…

And with that, Doctor Who just created the largest spike in history of people googling what "competitive tender" means.
Today we’re announcing an update on plans for the future of Doctor Who. Read all about it on the Doctor Who website ➡️ bbc.in/4vzxDuI

RIP to a generational British talent. Anthony Head was best known for his roles in hit TV shows like Buffy and Doctor Who but his best role was Uther Pendragon in Merlin. His craft in having you hate this evil man yet crushing you with his love for his son was stellar to watch.

Can we all agree that in a world of influencers, Z-listers, TikToks, badly acted ads, brand collabs, people filming themselves crying…the Artemis livestream of 4 middle-aged scientists doing their jobs is genuinely the best most authentic content of the century? Thanks @NASA🌚

So the problems on this mission were: - broken toilet - Outlook not working - unable to pair a Bluetooth device - communication with a vessel that's 20m away

The Artemis II crew named a lunar crater after Commander Reid Wiseman's late wife, Carroll. What a beautiful and touching moment. I'm not crying, you're crying 🤧
