9 albums. Me.
A graphic titled "MY9ALBUMS" with the subtitle "The sound that made me" featuring a three-by-three grid of nine music album covers. The top row shows Rumours by Fleetwood Mac, Hounds of Love by Kate Bush, and Celebrity Skin by Hole. The middle row displays Gran Turismo by The Cardigans, Return of Saturn by No Doubt, and Soviet Kitsch by Regina Spektor. The bottom row shows Back to Black by Amy Winehouse, MASSEDUCTION by St. Vincent, and Desire, I Want to Turn Into You by Caroline Polachek.  Me, a man with dark hair, brown eyes, and a very bright yellow shirt taking a photo of myself in a mirror with a phone camera.

This is one of my favourite Dolly Parton songs in an oh-so-crowded field. The 'Trio' project is really special, not least because it's so rooted in the kind of folk music that Dolly grew up with. open.spotify.com/track/7LDTAF...

The abrupt falling sensation you sometimes experience just as you’re going to sleep, known as a hypnogogic jerk, is a common phenomenon that has a perfectly natural explanation, and is caused by ghosts trying to drag you to hell.

tbh "don't have a barbecue there's a good lad" is actually a pretty good message to be sending out to everyone on Friday night before the hottest driest weekend of the August holidays. If we were Australia or something we would be used to this but we're not; this is adaptation

Occasionally a few supermarkets agree to pull them from their shelves when there's already been loads of fires, and then forget all about it by the time summer rolls back around. We should have banned "disposable" bbqs already but now is as good a time as any. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Went looking for the name of a song from 'Rocky Horror Picture Show'. Google's AI overview really sucked the mystique out of that one.
A Google search for "Whatever happened to Fay Wray" and a response from Google that reads "Fay Wray [...] died in her sleep of natural causes."

Tonight's show was Joan Collins' breakout bonkbuster adapted, in Swedish, as a pornographic puppet show. I love theatre. It got 5 stars in The Guardian, and it deserves every one of them. I haven't laughed so much in ages. www.theguardian.com/stage/2026/j...

Britain is more than halfway towards reaching Net Zero. Most people don't realise this, not least as the fossil-fuel fanatics want us to think achieving it is impossible. Via YouGov


**UK public support net zero, but underestimate UK achievement to date**

"Thinking about the government's target to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050, how much progress, if any, do you think the UK has made towards achieving this target?"

**Long way / less than halfway** — 50%

**Don't know** — 28%

**Most of the way / More than halfway** — 8%

Been doing some light island hopping, starting in Symi, which is a beautiful island dotted with rainbow-coloured houses.
A selfie. I am sat in the courtyard of a brightly painted hotel in shades of red and yellow.

I ordered two books to take on holiday but clicked the wrong delivery option so they probably won't actually arrive until I'm gone. Terrible! Am I going to have to read one of the many books I own but haven't read instead?
