Five Things #206

This week’s Five Things…

  1. Switched On Pop break down Taylor Swift's new album. This was a great episode.

  2. I can barely stand up on a skateboard, Isamu Yamamoto can do this.

  3. This is a great ad. I can't imagine how long it took to find the footage that made the final cut.

  4. Finally, some good news! "UK coal use has fallen to the lowest level in 250 years. Amazingly, the 8m tonnes used in 2019 was similar to levels last seen in 1769. By wild coincidence, 1769 is the year James Watt got the first patent for his steam engine" Dr Simon Evans

  5. Oops... "If you were writing a book and needed to find out how red clothes dye is traditionally made, you’d probably start with a simple Google search. At least, that’s what John Boyne, the author behind The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas says he 'must have' done when it emerged that several fantasy ingredients from The Legend of Zelda have appeared in his most recent book, A Traveler at the Gates of Wisdom." I'm still very much looking forward to reading the book!

That's all for this week. If you enjoyed it, sign up to get the next one delivered straight to your inbox.

ps. There won’t be a Five Things next week, but usual service will resume the following week.
