Found out I’m going to be a godparent today! So proud to join the all time greats:

In an uber for an hour to get across London and it’s been ‘Mellow Magic’ on the radio the whole time… Brain steadily smoothening

Don’t quite get the name of my QLL Summer league team (with a Canada/Mexico theme) I of course get that maple is Canadian and cacti are often Mexican, but together do they make a combined pun or play on words that I’m not seeing? Is there a reason it’s the non-standard Cactuses? Many questions

Wow, crazy that my Instagram data shows my demographics are the same as Games Workshop…

With the the dust settled, I'll limit my Eurovision comments to saying its nice that a new country has joined the winner's club (and I like what I've heard of the song)

Worcestershire didn’t have elections this year but the administration has still changed today! A strange coalition has ousted Reform! Looking at the colours, I guess you’d call this a ‘Letterboxd coalition’

I’ve started to watch some old episodes of ‘Life on Earth’ Lots of it has barely aged at all, but it’s just got up to the dinosaurs and it was made JUST too early for the discovery of the Chicxulub crater… It feels like something we’ve known about longer, somehow

Wes Streeting is the Labour Party’s Liz Truss: The party insiders are so detached from reality that they’ve believed their own hype and think *all that* is an election winner! Madness!

In gay news, I’ve just discovered someone has blended Slayyyter and Judy Garland to form ‘Crank Goes The Trolley’ and it really delivers on the premise: youtu.be/-HOxbFs7Qi8?...

Weekend’s music opinions: Muna’s new album: love Charli’s new single: ummmmmmm errrrrrrr… hmm no

So Myles Smith is really good! Two great musical guests in a row! #snluk

What a mess! Traffic light coalition incoming in Birmingham?!

FYI, I had advanced knowledge tha the Greens had won Lambeth as I was chatting to to a defeated Labour candidate drowning his sorrows at The Eagle last night

You best believe my eyes are rolling to their maximum extent…

Um, Kemi? you’ve lost 40% of your councillors so far btw

Charli xcx is set to drop new single ‘Rock Music’ at midnight. 🖤 #Charlixcx #RockMusic

Just voted for the first time as a Londoner! 🗳️

I like this new gym but they’ve played ‘Murder on the Dancefloor’ twice so far this evening…

Not a team secretary, but spent my journey back from Oxford thinking of ‘Canada and Mexico’ team names for QLL summer league to put out into the ether Best attempts so far: Tijuanna Paquin Tláloc Québécois Shane Olé-ander

GANG WE WON A QUIZ TROPHY

Really like a lot of her new album btw

Predictive text pitching Kacey Musgraves concept albums 🙌

I don’t know if it’s just my tv (probably) but the snooker has just gone to red button and it’s nowhere to be found on the iPlayer… at the crucial moment Flaws in BBC Sport live laid bare

The 1930s were truly a golden era for film naming. Masters of their craft. May never be topped.

A week or two late on this, but I’m currently really enjoying Beabadoobee’s latest song open.spotify.com/album/4cC1e6... tidal.com/track/504130...

Realised I’ve never seen a Dutch film so decided to watch the most critically lauded one, so I watched ‘The Vanishing’ this evening… Jesus Christ… 😳

I’m seeing double here, eight Elvises!

Just switched on the Snooker and it appears Kyren Wilson is playing against a child?!

Quiz Post: with week one at an end, I'm really enjoying 'Brain of Film' A good mix of 'Hollywood' and 'World Cinema' across all eras

On Bargain Hunt, when you see the blue team’s auction first you just know the red team result is gonna be wild

Too much new music released today. Please eliminate three.

The only hope for the left at the next election might be that the far right and more factional and prone to splits than they/we are…

Important news: Pygmy Hippopotami [sic] are now 75% off in M&S

I need you love and support today: I lost my 116 day language learning streak on ‘not-Duolingo’ 🥺

Who wore it better?

Not wanting to micro-analyse every news bulletin, but the BBC lunchtime news having the Hungarian elections as like the 5th or 6th item (after the masters and junk food in schools) is a choice

Wow Pope Francis is surprisingly active (Screenshot added ahead of the inevitable deletion)

Whilst I very much don’t want to look at everything globally through the lens of British political culture, I also want to point out that Matthew Goodwin was getting paid a lot of money by the Victor Orban led government and highly likely he won’t be from now on and that’s y’know very funny?

If I’ve jinxed this, I hope it’s in Rose’s favour

A post in no ways linked to a previous post about a former prime minister and is in no way karmic

A nightmare if you were playing Guess Who

Looks like the Maximus/Magyar/McIlroy weekend is still on track

Beyond the depressing, sinister nature of this news, my other take away is that Hins Cheung considers himself to be in his youth in 2019… when he was 38 *Big* news for those of us in our early thirties
