Just over thirty years ago, I was the only person to witness what was tantamount to a little piece of performance art by one of the greatest humorists of his generation – a piece of performance art predicated on a reference I didn't fully understand until yesterday afternoon. Let me explain.

Classic sci-fi movie Saturn 3 celebrates its joyful 46th anniversary today. Obviously, you’re familiar with it – directed by Stanley ‘Singin’ in the Rain’ Donen, it starred Kirk Douglas, Farrah Fawcett and Harvey Keitel, and had a script by Martin Amis. It couldn’t fail. Ah, and yet, and yet... 🧵

We finished watching Small Prophets last night. I hope it’s not a spoiler to say that it’s an utterly beautiful, funny, warm, sad, heartbreaking, heartwarming, strange, insightful, wonderful thing and I suggest – no, INSIST – you watch it as soon as humanly possible.

Big Nut has been telling you stories all your life and you’ve all fallen for it
Genuinely furious to discover that almonds aren't even a fucking nut. They're a fucking drupe. First peanuts and then cashews and now almonds. Do nuts even exist? I've been lied to my whole life.
