Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Never seen Forest Gump, any of the Jurassic park movies and until yesterday, I’d never seen Withnail and I.

Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?

I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

Never seen Forest Gump or Kill Bill. Seen bits of Seinfeld but didn’t find it funny. People are weird about the whole everyone should see thing.

It’s wet outside today and Loiosh is not happy about it! Not so much the rain but the insistence of the humans that he must be dried out when he comes in!

Whether it’s paracetamol or something else, Trump and co are perpetuating the idea autism is wrong and disability is an individual’s responsibility to avoid. It’s anti-science but it’s deeply ableist at its core. The goal is for non-disabled to be afraid and disabled people to be ashamed.

Thoughts and coffees to my fellow health professionals who are having to explain that paracetamol/acetaminophen/Tylenol are perfect safe to take when pregnant because people who can’t understand science are pretending they understand science again.

I love the fact that the reaction of primary-school-aged Glasgow weans, faced with the news that there was a terrifying bogle haunting the cemetery, was "let's tool up and go completely Buffy on him".

Well, if it’s 23 September... YES, THAT’S RIGHT! It’s the 71st anniversary of the hunt for the Gorbals Vampire, in which hundreds of children aged from four to 14, armed with dogs, knives and sharpened sticks went looking for an urban myth

Daily Mirror front page shows grainy image of horde of children in a cemetery, and the headline “Amazing scene as hundreds of children rush cemetery”
