AI music generation has got so good that it could create an entire Take That album and nobody would be able to tell the difference.

I'm watching about 40 minutes behind, but I take it Amol Rajan has won everyone over with his lightly-worn charm, yes?

What I want to see tonight is "I'm voting for Amol. I've no idea whether he's a traitor or not, but I've a moral obligation to keep him on the telly for as little time as possible."

These are the TV equivalent of snapping up a good footballer coming to the end of his contract in order to bolster the squad. Why on earth would anyone bother complaining about it?

The Telegraph has been notably less frothingly right-wing since it was taken over by Axel Springer on June 30. I mean, it's still notably right-wing, but it has settled back into being Tory rather than a derangedly online Reform/ Restore cesspit.

The smart thing to do would be dropping the wage link to pensions, then introduce two extra locks that are essentially the same as the 2.5% and inflation-link, then saying you're improving the deal with a Quadruple Lock.

Completely randomly thought about Trump's designs on Greenland, and wondered about territories where maybe there's a deal to be done? Would Yemen give Socotra to Somalia for cash? Would Indonesia sell a few inconveniently distant islands to Australia?

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:

Stretch them

No whitespace

Breaking Bad had no wit, joy or heart, and the Wire felt like homework. Neither are as good as the Traitors, 24 or Below Deck, and you know it deep down inside.

The main problem with the New York Times naming the Brittas Empire as the best TV show of the 21st century is that, in the UK, it was released in the 1990s. But otherwise, a fine choice.

Depending on where this took place, that's either attempted murder or piracy with violence. And an excellent opportunity to showcase the power of exemplary sentencing.

The best deal in any supermarket at the moment is Morrison's 3 for £10 on meaty stuff that, crucially, includes the ha peri-peri half chicken. One of them with a few oven chips is an excellent tea. groceries.morrisons.com/products/mor...

One of the bits I have with my brother is an absurd list of circumstances where it's impossible to get sunburned (can't get sunburned inland/ after 4pm/ in September/ on the bottom deck of a boat etc) and my dad rises to the bait every single time.

Little 'Un's teacher came back to school today, the day after his mum's funeral. I'm not sure how he could have done that, and I was desperate to share one bit of advice, but felt it inappropriately forward. So I'll share it here...
