If a child can find joy in Shakespeare, opera, or philosophical questions at five, why should we hold them back?

I can't stop thinking about DAOs at the minute. Late to the party, I know... I've always felt (without proper research and consideration) that the whole blockchain, crypto, web3 explosion was snake oil. But I can't stop thinking about real world applications for DAOs.

Excited to pick up a signed copy of the new @rutgerbregman.com book this morning on release. Great start to a sunny Thursday. Hopefully it can kick start some of the ideas I've been toying with.

This looks utterly bonkers and is giving me Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark vibes.

Saw The House Party the other day, based on Miss Julie by Strindberg. It was an fresh, modern three hander, made more interesting by choreography by Scott Graham & Frantic Assembly. A particular scene left me unsettled though. It felt gratuitous, not adding to the drama. Anyone else seen it?

I took Alex to the tiny town of play today in Batley. We had a great day driving police cars, doing our hair and trying on tiaras, and of course learning how to make daddy a flat white.

Monkey See, Monkey Do: The Science of Training Tiny Baristas
Today, I took Alex to The Little Town of Play in Batley, a roleplay centre filled with miniature versions of real-world settings. It got me thinking about Monkey see, Monkey do.

I’ve never been that into Glass, usually more of a Reich or Pärt listener, but Iggy played a bit of 'The Light' today on 6music and I had to give the whole thing a spin . The way it builds is incredible and inspired in form by an experiment on the speed of light.

Thanks @zachweinersmith.bsky.social A City on Mars is an insightful but hilarious read.

Despite presumably being the target market, I just wasn't a fan of Schmigadoon... But put that thing back on a stage and I'm sold.

Was just listening to the radio and during a sketch about Stone Henge and the Uffington White Horse, these words were uttered.
"Art for free public consumption is one of the noblest goals you can pursue in office."
Hit hard. Just putting it here as a note to self.

Learnt a good hack today. If you get a Costa from a machine in a Shell garage and you have a shell card AND a Costa card... You can collect both a Costa bean and a shell drink stamp. Meaning you double your ability to receive free hot drinks. Cashback!
