• Willie Penrose TD, who has never, ever posted anything

Exciting news, part the first: the utterly wonderful Roxanne Gray is coming to The Toast to launch something appropriately called The Butter. More evidence, if it was needed, that online publishing doesn't have to be listicles, SEO-mangled headlines and hasty retractions of Twitter rumours reported as fact.

Exciting news, part the second: Jon Hamm will star in a three-part Black Mirror Christmas special. What the words 'Christmas special' mean to Charlie Brooker is anyone's guess. In the bleak midwinter indeed.
