Out for a walk today, to feel the sun for the first time in living memory. Love my local views!

Been with the DWP for 16 years. The official figure for fraudulent claims, approx. 2.2%, is, in my experience, broadly accurate. Just wanted to point that out to frothing, raging Daily Mail and Sun readers who think it's closer to 100%.

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland.

They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

this is my favorite nobel prize story
This is your reminder that Hungarian-Jewish scientist George de Hevesy dissolved two Nobel Prizes in aqua regia to keep them out of the hands of the Nazis.

He then left the dissolved solution on his shelf and fled to Sweden.

(After the war he un-dissolved the gold and the prizes were re-cast.)

When watching a movie, multiple tyre tracks from previous takes of car-related scenes are mildly irritating.

Is this the coolest picture ever? Stirling Moss and Fangio synchronised drifting 👌
#OnThisDay in ’57 took place that year’s #ArgentineGP, won by Juan Manuel Fangio (Maserati 250F, car #2), here seen completing a 2-car drift led by Stirling Moss, also in a Maserati 250F, who took pole & fastest lap but could finish only 8th owing to a faulty throttle linkage.

10 hrs 30 mins into today’s #MondayDoodle. My hand is agony today, for some reason, but cracking on and expect it to be finished around 9pm GMT. 💪

If a young man [of fighting age], unable to speak basic english, is able to make the perilous crossing of the Channel in a small boat in mid winter, take your job, romance your girlfriend and buy your dream home from under you, you need to think about upgrading your basic skills.

This time of year can be especially stressful if you’re struggling.

It’s hard to keep it together on regular days so when there’s added stress over the festive period it can be overpowering.

Please take time for your mental health.

Talk if you want.

Your presence is more important than presents.

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

Perfect.

6 years ago, almost to the day, this chap had time for some photos in his rookie season. Been a fan ever since he entered the sport, so I'm routing for him today! 🤞
