It's the supplement of all things fun and weird, The Weekender!

Date
5 December 2014

It’s been this kind of afternoon in the studio, and it’s with that in mind that I invite you to partake of this week’s supplement of all things fun and weird, The Weekender. Enjoy!

– We’re proud as punch to announce that the It’s nice That Annual 2014 is here! It’s big, and blue, and it comes with a signed artist postcard. Frankly we don’t know what more you could ask for.

– We’ve officially performed CPR on our Things feature and it’s back and better than ever. Get your monthly dose of all the best things we get sent, pronto.

– This week, indie publishers and much-love bookshop Antenne Books gave us a look around some of the out-of-print books from their archive. Wipe that dribble away.

– On this week’s Studio Audience podcast Jeremy Deller’s encounter with Andy Warhol, the It’s Nice That Annual, and we say a fond farewell to Microsoft’s Clip Art feature.

If anyone ever asks me what a perfect relationship looks like, I’d probably just direct them to this video.

We have photographer and all-round brilliant person Jane Stockdale to thank for sending this one through. A rocket launched from Florida today, and you can watch the full take-off on the BBC. Hold out for the moment at 1.31 when the full width of planet Earth comes into shot and the pilot announces “we are now transcending the speed of sound” and just see if your draw doesn’t drop into your lap.

It’s December. Get used to a lot of seasonal stuff clogging up your social media. Allow me to get the ball rolling.

My friend Phoebe told me a riddle recently that I couldn’t solve without a huge clue. I put it to you to have a go (no Googling!) -

Which is the only US state that contains none of the letters in “George W. Bush?”
