Finally relented and had to turn the air conditioning on in my bedroom. Have managed to resist all day because there’s been the slightest bit of breeze but it’s far too humid this evening to be able to sleep!

@dresserman I think the 2 for £6 deal is pretty competitive (compared to other supermarkets) but it really shines a light on how much of a rip off the £3 deal is (which is only 60%-ish of the size of the other one). Unnecessarily silly.
Since moving to @Spotify, my most streamed artist of all is @celinedion and she’s also the singer of my most steamed song of all, Ashes.
As it should be, really.

If we go back to this Peter Kellner chart, how should the parties be feeling about these local elections?
Lab = Disappointment
Con = Relief
Lib Dem = Relief
Ref = Disaster
Green = Disappointment
I find this sort of reporting and analysis to be nauseating - it’s absolute horse shit to compare today’s local elections to a general election and I wish major news organisations like Sky wouldn’t do it.

NEW: UK would have a hung parliament in a general elections with Reform as largest party - Sky News projection based on the national equivalent vote share of local election results. Reform 284 seats, 42 seats short of majority. Labour on 110, Tories on 96
It reminds of what Celine Dion once said - she didn’t chase hit singles (but had plenty nevertheless), she wanted a career.
The best indication of enduring popularity in music is whether people are prepared to pay to see you live, not your monthly listeners tally on Spotify.
My car insurance for last year was £2,266, cheapest at the time (standard for RRs at the time). Did some quotation tool research and expected my renewal quote this year to be less - it came in at £2,359. A total swindle!
No points, 8 years NCs…
Tesco insured me for £1,080 💙
Genuinely thought HM King Charles was magnificent in his address to US Congress.
60+ years of diplomatic skill came out in the 25 minutes speech - a masterclass really.

I don’t make sense of why the crowd is so muted. I would lose my fucking mind if Madonna unexpectedly showed up and performed.
Like, it’s MADONNA!!

STARMER’S FAILURE?
As if one man is capable, within a 2 year period, of undoing decades of structural failure by successive governments who have failed to invest in our military, while managing major economic issues.
Andrew Neil is deluded.

I’ve been playing the @nytimes puzzles for a couple of weeks now (absolutely obsessed with them) and first time reaching Genius status on the #SpellingBee - is this what I have to look forward to as I approach middle life?
