Very much enjoying seeing big artists (although I don’t know their music cos I’m uncool) being principled. A shift towards good at last.

What do I do about a work creep who, no matter how many times I duck (ALOT) still won’t stop looking at me?

Man stood way too close to me at the traffic lights. To avoid him, turned around and crashed straight into a woman standing too close to me. Disgusting and creepy.

Watched Loki S1 and 2 in prep for Doomsday. I never liked him in any of the Avengers films and now he’s just gone and blown my head clean off.

Watched the eclipse with my back to the Sun, through a colander, projecting onto a wall on my balcony. Definitely in the top 3 weirdest shit I’ve ever done.

Gabby: What was your highlight of the half time show? Wayne Rooney: When it finished. I thought it was crap. 10/10 punditry. No notes.

Reform have now lost six by-elections in a row in England, Scotland and Wales. Their national poll rating is 26% – below Labour in 1983 – and Farage’s approval rating is -37. They’re very far from the voice of the people and need to stop being treated as such.

It’s interesting to see more parties in the mix, the end of 2-party politics? but very scared about Reform having this much power #Elections26

It is amazing to me that even in my 40s I still witness cliques in the workplace who move around in one form and don’t allow anyone else to join in (I am the outside person)
