Just finished Kim Stanley Robinson’s “New York 2140”. Weirdly joyful for a post-climate disaster narrative. Best thing I’ve read in ages.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

It's obvious that Southampton will be in the Championship next season, but I'm beginning to wonder if they'll make an exception based on current form and skip us straight down to League One. It'd certainly save everyone some time.

Nicko. NICKO. Say it isn't so. All the best to him in his retirement, but I bet whoever they replace him with will count in the song using the correct tempo, thereby ruining it. Up the Irons.

You can tell I've had documentation to write today because the downstairs bathroom is clean and there's no laundry left to do.

For the first time in a decade I've spent my weekend in a rehearsal studio, playing in a band while stood adjacent to a proper drum kit and some large speakers. Hello tinnitus, my old friend. (Good fun though.)

"Farmer", "Starmer" and "drama" all rhyming really is a gift for headline writers today. Does anyone know if there were any llama farmers in attendance?

My internet connection has become intermittent to the point that I'm timing the gaps in service - perhaps there's a trapped BT engineer somewhere desperately switching it on and off, attempting to signal for rescue using morse code.

Decided to make a proper concerted effort to shop outside my usual pool of clients for my next 9-5, which has meant properly firing up LinkedIn for the first time since the pandemic. I note five (5) people have endorsed my Java skills, because apparently they've never met me.

First proper day back at the grindstone in well over a week. The fiery skyball I've been roasting myself under doesn't seem to exist in England. And apparently it gets dark at lunchtime now? Also, there is no buffet breakfast. Gahhhhhhhhh, etc.

I think the 300 char limit might be a dealbreaker here... I've grown accustomed to Mastodon's more generous allocation. That extra 200 chars is where the punchline goes, dammit.
