Big news: I just successfully took delivery of a package without talking too loud or saying "very thanks" or inexplicably trying to shake hands with the delivery guy

Have listened to two podcast episodes in two days in which an American tries to say 'Edinburgh'. It's a close call but I think I prefer 'Edinburg' to 'Edinborrow'.

I love that Mamdani is what the right claimed Obama was: A Muslim socialist born in Africa. The right practically manifested Mamdani into existence.

Just woke up in the cinema to the rolling credits and the cold, shameful realisation that oops, I did it again.

Relatedly, I probably quite enjoyed some of The Mastermind.

ATTENTION, there is a military band playing Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins on the concourse at Paddington Station. This is not a drill.

Worried Drogheda residents β€˜can’t get out of driveway’ due to speeding traffic ”Some days we can’t even get out of our own driveway,” say worried Pearse Park residents who called for traffic calming measures along the busy Drogheda street.

Yet there they are in the middle of the road.

French PM Lecornu resigning after 13 hours now makes the Lecornu the shortest length to measure political time. For those of you using old measures this is 1/18 of a Scaramucci or about 1.2% of a Truss

Mike Smith, Michael Parkinson and Sarah Greene look to camera in front of a bank of TV screens spelling out the word GHOSTWATCH

Mike Smith, Michael Parkinson and Sarah Greene look to camera in front of a bank of TV screens spelling out the word GHOSTWATCH

The story went on to inspire The Conjuring 2, Sky’s 2015 show The Enfield Haunting, and – perhaps most famously for those of us of a certain generation – the BBC’s infamous broadcast-once-sparking-a-reported-million-complaints Ghostwatch

With all of France’s problems solved, attention turns to the scourge of loud cats on trains.

I've realised a day too late that a much better caption for this would have been

"The new Blair Witch movie doesn't look up to much."

Thank you.

There was something I urgently needed to put out into the world, although by the time I came back I had forgotten what it was. But I thought I'd stay anyway.
