For the first time ever in my whole life, and it's been a while, in any country in the world, I've just figured out how to work the thermostat in a hotel room. I know, I know.

I made up a joke (I hope). A marathon runner walks into a bar, and the landlord says "Why the long race?".

I'm in a pub in Manchester called The Salmon Of Knowledge, and I just needed to tell someone.

If you were fortunate enough to get a Glastonbury ticket, have you had the confirmation email yet? Coming up to 24 hours and I've not got mine yet. (Please don't reply with a screenshot of it, for safety's sake)

The annual news stories with the headline "Glastonbury Festival sells out in XYZ number of minutes" are up there with "Dog bites man". Stop it off, lazy news outlets.

Very good first round scores, any of these four would have been in the lead on some of the earlier games. #Mastermind

One of the interesting things about the 7 Up/70 Up series (and there are many) is that it began with the children and young adults talking about their lives and the world as they saw it, and ended with them talking about the program itself. It's a unique experience.

I've never seen social media so united in love and appreciation for one person. Yes I know 'algorithms', but everywhere, from all quarters I see admiration for Dolly Parton (I mean, Chumbawumba?!). Splendid. (I don't know about Tw*tt*R obvs and I don't really want to)

When you're a very famous person who brought nothing but joy and kindness to the world, someone who actually used their fame and wealth to benefit others, the world mourns your death. That's how you do it, that's how you live a life. RIP Dolly Parton.

BBC’s coverage of Reform’s welfare plans is frankly bizarre. Headlines in Ten, leading on some radio networks. Reform are not even the official opposition and the plans have less credibility than Count Binface. Will BBC News do the same for Lib Dem and Greens policy two years out from an election?

Let's be absolutely clear: there is no amount of new drilling in the North Sea that Burnham could approve which would be consistent with our climate goals. If we are to avoid complete climate breakdown, we need to turn all effort to clean renewable energy - not doubling down on dirty fossil fuels.

Burnham to Back North Sea Oil and Take Control of Thames Water

Within days of taking office incoming Prime Minister Andy Burnham is preparing to announce new drilling for oil and gas in the North Sea as well as taking public control of Thames Water.

Stick it up to 20k. Every taxpayer benefits, and it will stimulate the economy more than a cut in the top rate because poor people will spend the extra rather than hoarding it. That way a lot of it will be clawed back in VAT etc. And again, fuck the bond markets.

France and England in 2026 (both 20 goals) are the first teams to score 20+ goals at a World Cup since France in 1958 (23 goals). The most scored by a side at one World Cup is Hungary with 27 in 1954.

Remember when more people protested in 2020 to reduce police brutality and systemic racism than had ever protested concerning any other single issue in the history of the country and the bipartisan response was to fire a bunch of Black people and give law enforcement more money? Seems relevant today

We’re now one game away from a remarkable double double. If (and it’s probably a 50-50 game) England beat Argentina, the last finals in the World Cup and European Championships in both men’s and women’s would all be England v Spain.
