[Eurovision Charts @esc_charts]

On the day after the #Eurovision 2023 final, all 37 entries appeared in Spotify charts of at least one country.
Sweden's "Tattoo" leads the count with 31 countries, followed by Finland's "Cha Cha Cha" (30), Norway's "Queen of Kings" (29) and Israel's "Unicorn" (26).

While, quite rightly, most of the conversation has been around Labour and the Conservatives this week, it's worth looking at the Green story, too.

I asked ChatGPT a question:

"Are there parallels between the current British government's rhetoric about migrants and Germany's rhetoric about Jews in the 1930s?"

This video from 2018 is on the BBC's website and says,

"Gary is not involved in any news or political output for the BBC, and as such, any expression of his personal political views, does not affect the BBC's impartiality."

The results of the world’s largest trial of a 4-day week (with no loss of pay) are out:

▪️ No drop in revenue

▪️ 65% fewer sick days

▪️ 71% less burnout

▪️ 92% of companies decide to keep the policy after the trial

The conclusion is clear: we need a shorter working week.

100 days until Eurovision.

This is Great Linford Manor, where the album was recorded ! #TimsTwitterListeningParty

[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

So...Elon Musk let Andrew Tate back on Twitter, and Tate promptly used it to reveal his whereabouts to authorities in Romania who then arrested him.

All because Greta Thunberg owned him so hard his little wee-wee fell off.

Do I have that right? Please say I have that right.

A little shoutout to @mjr_organist who has just started as organ scholar at St George’s Windsor and is playing some of the music before the service this afternoon. Is this the first time a female organist has played at a state occasion? Quite possibly ❤️ #PlayLikeAGirl

Praying for the Royal Family and remembering that the day after the attacks of September 11th, The Queen broke a 600 year-old royal tradition and requested the playing of “The Star-Spangled Banner” at Buckingham Palace.

[Mick Jagger @MickJagger]

For my whole life Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II has always been there. In my childhood I can recall watching her wedding highlights on TV. I remember her as a beautiful young lady, to the much beloved grandmother of the nation. My deepest sympathies are with the Royal family.

Fantastic night seeing @coldplay - just a shame about the Wembley services. Thousands of people aimlessly walking around unsure what to do. All tube stations closed, buses unable to handle the amount of people. Eventually managed to get an Uber home for £110… #ColdplayWembley

[MrAvalanche 🔜 ✈️ Sendai 🇯🇵 @MrAvalanchePoGo]

@TfL you better address the literal THOUSANDS of people you’ve left stranded at Wembley after the #ColdplayWembley !! Piss poor crowd control and horrific station staff. You’ve left so many people out on the streets at midnight!!! #tfl

[Anne Bradford @AnneGBradford]

"Use public transport" they said. Check @tfl plan the journey, app still said tubes running and available, but #WembleyParkStation close the gates! Thousands #abandoned! #Disgraceful service!
