No matter what message pops up when I complete a Duolingo lesson, in my head, it always sounds super passive-aggressive

I had a fascinating conversation with the bookseller when I picked this up along with an anthology of weird fiction from The British Library. They've seen an increase in people reading horror right now. Make of that what you will.

A copy of Ancient Sorceries, a collection of short stories by Algernon Blackwood about his psychic detective John Silence. The book is published under the new Penguin Weird Fiction imprint.

I am supremely flattered LinkedIn bot but since I am not qualified as a physycist, know absolutely nothing about physics and have spent the past decade training in a completely different and unrelated field I think you've missed the mark.

Not so bad today but still...

What fresh hell is this Duolingo?

Avoid family board game drama this festive season. Play your own 'secret' side game so you don't get over invested in playing against anyone super competitive. Example: I may have lost Ticket To Ride but killed it at train jenga (trenga)

Firefox I love you, why do you have to shame me like this?

A screenshot of an internet browser screen. Firefox has been updated and it announcing a new feature: Too many tabs? Try this. With everything you need to get done online, it's no wonder you could lose track of having the ame tab open twice. That's why Firefox's latest feature makes it easy to close duplicate tabs.
