Reading this wonderful graphic novel version of The Worst Journey in the World having read the original a few years ago. But all my brain can do is look at the sub-title and sing “East bound and down, loaded up and truckin'” at me on loop.

Let me count the ways… 1) peeling an orange with a scalpel. Almost removed thumb 2) reaching across with left hand to pull right brake on bike as my right hand was holding fish and chips. 3) going downstairs without opening my eyes so I didn’t have to wake up properly. Missed first step.

In two days time it's the 30th anniversary of Common People. The greatest UK single of my lifetime. Told me in no uncertain terms that my privilege made me a tourist. An empathetic, understanding, frequently broke and broken tourist. But a tourist. And it's an absolute banger. What a record.

“The taste of human blood”, ep4 of series 2 of Poker Face is superb. Utterly bonkers, but the Florida jokes just keep coming, and the alligator mandalas are a wonderful left-field touch

I love phoning my dad - “gotta go, pressure’s building”

If you live in the US and have never watched Eurovision, it's streaming on Peacock & YouTube. It's the Superbowl for theater kids. 4 hours of performances and politics that range from the mundane to the indescribable to WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK AM I WATCHING RIGHT NOW. It's amazing. It starts at 3pm EST

Euro cupcakes, euro-cliche bingo cards, balloons, snacks and booze done. Roll on singing

You want to know something? I've never used ChatGPT or OpenAI and I'm not even 100% sure if they are different companies or the same one. I don't know their URLs, though I assume they're the company names, but I've never looked. It can be done. Incredibly easily. Just don't do the thing. It's bad.

The flock of goldfinches , also called a charm, roll across the front meadow like a wave. I hear them constantly calling to each other. They are making contact, keeping connected in their beautiful tinkly way

Late 80s, sat with two friends at the school BBC computer, one playing Chuckie Egg, the other idly playing with the audio jacks that were plugged into the cassette player we’d loaded the game with. Friend B notices the jacks are the same size as the holes in the power lead for the cassette player…

Still thinking about the guy on a lime bike I passed this morning who was standing with his bike in the road surrounded by the croissants that had bounced out of the front basket when he hit a pothole. Hope your day got better

why is social care both ruinously expensive AND wildly underpaid? we asked three vc ceos who bought up social care companies in the last five years and they all said they were too busy kite-surfing in hawai’i to answer our emails

Whenever someone sends a presentation to put onto a screen somewhere, I never touch it for at least 30 minutes. Because, like clockwork, there will be a revision sent over in that time.

Just when you thought London couldn't feel any more glorious, up pops this fantastic bit of cycling infrastructure - TULIP WANDS 🌷🚴‍♂️🌷🚴‍♂️! They’re being installed on Sussex Gardens and are an absolute joy to behold and causing all sorts of delight, as we discovered…

What is the point of the stories of celebrating parents lending £82k for a home? Housing should be a public good.

Cat is disappointed in Eurovision voters this evening

Youngest has joined the advertised Eurovision party on Roblox and a pixels are Graham Norton is welcoming us whilst an enormous capybara avatar dances. Seems good
