It worries me that a good three years after the fact, a serving British Minister refused to agree that “the [Department of Health and Social Care] was overwhelmed by the [COVID] crisis.” He “says he would put it differently” before using textbook definitions of “overwhelmed” to describe the situation.

How can you hold people to account when they twist words like this?

The mis-use of the word “sorry” to apologise for a specific inconvenience with absolutely no intention of doing anything to make sure it doesn’t happen again, drives me nuts.

Today is the anniversary of the birth of Jóhann Jóhannsson. He’s one of my favourite composers, and he might be one of yours too, you just don’t know it.
