This is Anja, Gareth's wife. I'm so sorry and heartbroken to let you all know that he sadly passed away this morning. He fought so hard until the very end, but he's at peace now. 💔

Bit disappointing in the Germany's Mask Singer tonight. First out was comedian Hugo Egon Balder. Was quite playing Couch Potato with a rendition of Ghost Busters.

Are you in need of a government that cares and a prime minister who would not accept a £10m donation and free helicopter trips from racist who ‘jokes’ about shooting a black, female MP

Here's Rishi Sunak taking a helicopter provided to him by Frank Hester, who said Diane Abbott should be shot as she makes him 'want to hate all Black women'. Conservatives say this morning they would be happy to take another £10 million donation from him mirror.co.uk/news/politics/r…

People have asked if I’m in the US to do a Turtle Challenge. I’m not - and I just demonstrated I’m not ready to do so: I spent 30mins trying to reconcile apparently divergent printed and online timetables. In non-24hr clock US, I hadn’t noticed one was for AM and the other PM.

That's a super sneaky reference hiding in plain sight in Breaking Bad right there when you see how things work out later in the series.

It's been a bit of of a slog but finally got through every episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The question is what is next to go on the binge watch list to get through before I die.

"Arab leaders have long seen the Houthis as dangerous proxies for Iran, the group’s main military supplier, but some observers now say the truth may be even worse: that the Houthis are fanatics who answer to no one," @robertfworth writes: theatlantic.com/internationa…

Super interesting read on British practices of military recruitment. Well worth a read.

💥New Post! The head of the British army recently raised concerns over poor recruitment in the military. But as Jonathan Parry of @LSEPhilosophy and @ChrEaston of @PhilosWarwick argue, there are deeper, moral concerns with military recruitment. blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandp…
