I'm Susie Dent and in the age of AI I believe being a geek may never have been so important

<p><em>This article first appeared in </em><strong><em>Radio Times magazine</em></strong><em>.</em></p><p>As someone who has spent decades charting language, I’ve learnt to push aside any personal bugbears when it comes to the evolution of our words. English has always been a democracy, going its own merry way without government from above. But one recent development has found its way under my skin, for very personal reasons.</p><p>It is the appearance of the word “neek”, a blend of “nerd” and “geek” that describes someone with a strong – and, by extension, “uncool” – interest in a particular subject. It takes me back to my childhood, when I discovered that a love of learning was something to hide rather than celebrate, for fear of being labelled a swot.</p><p>For a long time, I hid it away as something shameful, despite the pleasure it gave me and the encouragement of my teachers. Decades later, while filming our new series Secret Genius, Alan Carr and I discovered that not a lot has changed when it comes to the desire to fit in.</p><p>The aim of our show was simple: to illustrate how genius can be found in any walk of life. Mensa estimates that there are over a million secret geniuses walking among us, which means most of us will know one of them: the friend who gets to the punchline of a joke way before the rest of us; the colleague who can make complicated calculations at the drop of a hat; or the partner who spots a pattern in an apparently random sequence.</p><p>They mi

@Mehrad @lydiaconwell OFC, but we all know that #Trump doesn't give a fuck about #HumanRights.

  • All he cares about is his image, postering and hegemonial positioning of the #USA.

Do not mistake his actions and intentions!

  • If it would guarantee him and his sons exclusive rights to Iran's oil he'd personally hand-deliver weapons and ammo to the IRGC.

Just like he doesn't give a fuck about human rights and #CivilRights in the #USA and commits #democide at home.

Syukur masih belum pernah lagi kena buli di tempat kerja. Cuma kena perhatikan juga adakah ia betul buli atau arahan kerja yang tak terpenuhi. Orang lain boleh buat hanya dia yang tak boleh buat, kemudian dikatakannya buli. Mungkin ke depan nanti akan ada pula akta play victim. Banyak juga kes play victim sekarang.

I'm Clive Myrie, and my new BBC ancestry series left me angry about history – but with a constructive way to use it

fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.radi

<p><em>This article first appeared in </em><strong><em>Radio Times magazine</em></strong><em>.</em></p><p>In a confusing world, we search for our origins. Within many of us there is a deep yearning to find our roots, to discover where our own unique stories begin. This yearning is behind the remarkable popularity of ancestry DNA tests and the success of television shows like Who Do You Think You Are?</p><p>In making my series African Adventure, I’ve fed penguins in South Africa and explored the wonderful and chaotic exuberance of Lagos in Nigeria. But I’ve also experienced a traditional naming ceremony in Ghana, where I was metaphorically welcomed back into the African fold and given an African name – an origin.</p><p>As well as this new name, I had a flag made by a craftsman of the Fante people, who still practice this ancient folk-art in Ghana. It’s beautiful, vibrant with colour and designs that include symbols representing my Jamaican history. It’s hanging above my desk at home and I take pleasure in this layer being added to my identity.</p><p>You might think I have enough identity already. I was born in Bolton in Lancashire, so I’m a Northerner and proud of it. But I’m also very proud of being British and then there are my Caribbean roots, that come courtesy of my Jamaican parents. Thanks to them I remain Caribbean in my bones; I love West Indian food and Jamaican culture.</p> <img alt="Clive Myrie wearing all white with a flower chain around his neck holding a certific

Resident Evil Requiem preview: Remixing the greatest hits

fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.radi

<p>Did you enjoy piecing together a whole police station's worth of puzzles in Resident Evil 2? Did you enjoy the unsettling shift to first-person in Resident Evil 7?</p><p>Did you enjoy Leon’s big kicks in <a href="https://www.radiotimes.com/technology/gaming/resident-evil-4-remake-review/">Resident Evil 4</a>?

Did you enjoy seeing a tall woman in a white dress in Resi 8?</p><p>If you answered ‘yes’ to any of those questions — or <em>all</em> of those questions — boy does <a href="https://www.radiotimes.com/technology/gaming/resident-evil-requiem-re9-release-date/">Resident Evil Requiem</a> have something in store that will play to your tastes!</p><p>In fact, the game is starting to feel like a greatest hits album that’s determined to replay your favourite bits from the last few entries in the franchise.</p><p>Indeed, RE9 has no shortage of baggage, and it’s got no problem with letting you rummage through said baggage and pull out whatever you like.</p><p>At a preview event for the game, I got to spend three hours playing it, and by the end, my right arm was sore from all the [insert meme here of Leonardo DiCaprio pointing at the TV because he spotted something he recognised].</p> <img a

Call the Midwife's Nonnatus House jeopardy storyline has lost its edge – and here's why

fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.radi

<p>Nonnatus House <a href="https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/drama/call-the-midwife-trixie-role-nonnatus-house-newsupdate/">is in peril</a>. As the National Health Service undergoes widespread restructuring to create a more unified system in <a href="https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/drama/call-the-midwife-season-15-release-date/">Call the Midwife</a>, the status of smaller, community-led programmes and initiatives remains under threat.</p><p>And with more people choosing hospital births over home ones, questions about how much longer it will survive remain ever present.</p><p>But for now, it does survive, continuing to provide essential care to the people of Poplar – although Sister Julienne has been informed that funding will cease from the end of the year if they don't ditch their religious garb.</p><p>A deliberate nudge towards extinction? Or simply a way to keep them in line? Only time will tell.</p><p>"That's fine in itself," Jenny Agutter said of the order to ditch their habits. "But it's actually a bigger question, which is that Sister Julienne sees the nuns as being missionaries in the East End. And she, as a nun, is very much aware of the fact that the first service they have is to God. The habit is very much to do with showing that they are a part of serving the community.</p><p>"So it's not just a matter of identification, it's a matter of knowing what one's role is and what they're meant to be doing, and feeling that one’s no longer wanted."</p> <img alt="A nun in a blue
