Draper just needs to beat Djokokic, Sinner and then Alcaraz to win Wimbledon. Thank god he got seeded. EASY! EASY! EASY!

Still have availability to buy your mate’s Glastonbury ticket.

For the avoidance of doubt, I don’t like your dog, I don’t want to touch your dog and I don’t want your dog anywhere near me.

Still ready to buy your mate’s ticket when he bails from the “Glastonbury crew” WhatsApp group citing stomach issues. Genuine offer. I’ll buy your friend’s ticket and enter disguised as them.

Huge implications from this: Microsoft cut off the email of the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, because of his work on Israel www.nytimes.com/2025/06/20/t...

Why in the year 2025 is the BBC still using John Lloyd and Andrew Castle to do tennis commentary?

Beginning to think no one is going to sell me their Glastonbury ticket.

Ezra Klein is essential again today. Former Israeli PM Ehud Olmert saying that Israel has been committing war crimes and a solution is possible. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/11/o...

Damn, they even stole the font.

Imagine winning one of the all timers and asking for the winners photoshoot to be done early so you can take the gang to Ibiza. Incredible energy on the kid.

Turned up to a BBQ with an iPad yesterday. Streamed all the tennis. Built a nice crowd of new Alcofans. Then I had to leave at 6-5 in the fifth set. Utterly criminal.

Rachel’s version of the Poolhouse song is the best thing on TikTok this year. Joyous.

Draper beating The Little Prince like this is such a statement. Hope we get to see him measure up against Sinner next week.

Last week was a breakthrough week in AI. It's no exaggeration to say that many of us are in a fight for our jobs. Microsoft's latest Work Trend Index describes what this world of work might look like. I spoke to Alexia Cambon, the author of it. eatsleepworkrepeat.com/what-does-it...

Whenever I look at the Popular with Friends column here I can only conclude that my friends are idiots.

Finished the Biden book. Jill Biden comes out of it especially badly. Can’t help but wonder what would have happened if he’d chosen Gretchen Whitmer as VP back in 2020.

Someone has finally been held accountable for the war in Gaza, and it's Gary Lineker www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Alcaraz playing this well is so good for tennis.

I suggested to my lunch partner today that we go and see Mission Impossible. He said no. Boooo.

Well I had low expectations of that Rihanna song but wow.

Couldn’t disagree more on this. I’m listening to a book right now and I hate the narrator. I’d love to switch them out.

Radio 4 news: one minute on both thousands of people being starved to death in Gaza and the Israeli contestant at Eurovision being upset by booing.

It's hard to separate the clay court season from the asshats who chant 'let's go [INSERT NAME]! Let's go'. Generic, dull, worthless. The tennis equivalent of 'by far the greatest team the world has ever seen'.

Just out! Our peer-reviewed critique of the Cass Review has been published by BMC Medical Research Methodology. Please read and share. We show that the Cass Review is fatally flawed and should not be the basis for policy or practice in transgender healthcare. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Why is Apple TV so glitchy?

Confession: the fact that I think that Sheeran Azizam song could have been banger for anyone means I actually like him doing it.

The algo on TikTok is night and day to Reels. On a train journey today TikTok showed me someone talking about linguistics, discussion about Starmer’s mistakes, a funny dissection of dating chat on Hinge, some music chat. Reels showed me some lame comedy sketches because someone once sent me one.

This NYT discussion on Theo Vonn and the Manosphere is the best piece on it’s importance in contemporary culture. overcast.fm/+ABLUSPLz16o

Jack Draper is looking commanding. He's going to win this title for sure.

In any other major city in Europe the streets of Soho would obviously be pedestrianised and businesses/visitors on a glorious day like today could enjoy al fresco dining. But thanks to Westminster Council and the way we give outsized power to absurd local complaints, not here!

Jack Draper goes top 5 on Monday. When his serve has switched on this week he's been unplayable at times.

There's a lot happening in the world of work right now that many of us are too busy to take stock and look at. All with the context that there's growing existential dread about our jobs. www.makeworkbetter.info/p/haunted-by...

Google/Nest just bricked all of my heating controllers. They bought Nest, did nothing with it for 10 years and have now left me with the replacement costs. Thanks Google.

Thank you Louis Theroux for such a brilliant, brave piece of reporting with The Settlers studying those seizing Palestinian land. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Unproven that “the Pope smokes dope”.

I received this statement from the WTA this morning about this incident (will update the story when back home):

“When the last tree has fallen, and the rivers are poisoned, you cannot eat money.” Graffiti found in amphitheater in Menomonie, Wisconsin

Unbelievably I have a Kaytranada Ally Paly ticket for tonight that I can gift someone for free.

Daniel Nigro on the buttons for the Lorde song!

Quite funny to see you’re on a blocked list for following a journalist.
