    Very late to the party but Susanna Clarke's Piranesi is hands down one of the best books I've ever read. Very hard to talk about without impacting on the reading experience, as discovery is a major joy in the book.

    They literally knew how to get to the Moon. As a result of a crap ton of calculation and huge amounts of planning. They got to the Moon by very carefully working out how you get to the Moon. Jesus Christ do not make the Moon landing some kind of triumph of ignorance.

    No one knew how to get to the Moon. But they did, and Britain now needs to recover that spirit to come out of the EU on October 31, writes @BorisJohnson ow.ly/rmW230pb843

    Someone just emailed me to say I need to stop using fancy words and should cut out adverbs altogether. All I can say is that I perused that missive disbelievingly.

    Spider, man. Spider, man. Just a regular spider, man. Spins a web, very small, Where the ceiling meets the wall. Look up: it's just a spider, man.

    So I discover that Marvel's character Silk was bitten by *the same spider* that bit Peter Parker and now I am delighted the spider apparently survived its encounter with PP and if Marvel want me to write a comic where that radioactive spider is the main character I am here for it

    I have a joke about capitalism but only 1% of people will enjoy it.

    "Doctor Who being female means the only heroes boys have are criminals" is the most egregious piece of dumbassery I ever heard.
