This week’s Five Things…

  1. 👏 “Paint Drying is a 2016 British feature film directed and produced by Charlie Lyne. The film is about paint on a wall drying, lasting for ten hours and seven minutes. The film was created by Charlie Lyne in order to force the British Board of Film Classification to watch all ten hours to give the film an age rating classification, as a protest against censorship and the prohibitive cost to independent film-makers”

  2. In celebration of The Guardian’s 200th birthday they’ve released an annotated version of their very first issue. Very cool!

  3. This is great. Andre Agassi explains the trick he used to predict where Boris Becker would serve.

  4. A very interesting episode of Rafael Behr’s podcast, Politics on the Couch. “Rafael Behr talks to the cognitive scientist and radicalisation expert Nafees Hamid about what makes extremists tick and how to change their minds.”

  5. This is a fun little website. Scroll and click… and see what happens!
