This country is hilarious.
Such a mad tournament. There's probably something in the fact that if they sat down and organised it it wouldn't have its current structure.

Mark Pougatch, what is your life like when you're not hosting two minutes of sport between ads on ITV? Mark Pougatch, what are your hopes and dreams?
I wonder would it have gone differently for us if we kept the ball more, but it's sort of hard to compare France that night to the France of today.
Maybe France should play a lock at lock, just a thought.
Main reason for going on holiday.
Listening to a podcast and the presenter read the scripted line "tourists come to drink in the incredible views" without emphasising the in. Prob a more honest statement.
People might get mad here but I absolutely can't stand Stevie Wonder's Superstition, despite liking a lot of similar music and accepting it is a classic piece of music. Just the annoying cheekiness of the melody, the sense that someone is slyly wagging their finger at you with every line.
Closing the leatherbound book of newspaper cuttings while sitting in a large armchair by a fire.
A bizarre piece, this. The one-sentence paragraphs make it feel like a bad, wistful poem.
Nothing could be more true.
Raining again anyway, hope you're happy.

My dad has started replying with 😁 instead of thumbs up or to mean "yes". Again, no idea why.
"Oh, you're a user-centred designer. Well I'm actually a human-centred designer. You probably haven't heard of it? It was important to clarify I'm not designing for dogs."
Just need to keep it to ten.
It's bad, but it's not that bad, Glenn.
Never been to this restaurant but follow them on Insta and am sure it'd be a dream destination for me. They've started a Substack and this post about how home cooks can use pig's trotters cites my favourite restaurant on the planet, Amarante, in Paris. Sadly not so keen on a USA trip right now.
Yeah incredibly incisive stuff about a topic that we prob all feel we know but in reality have a vague understanding.
Missed this when it came out. You know these people exist but seeing them walk and talk adds another level of madness. And obviously fairly topical.
This made me laugh very hard when I saw it earlier this week. The whole article is worth a read if you haven't already partaken. Baby sounds like a knob tbh.
Inquiry into length of inquiry when
Very enjoyable for sure!
I always loved it! Some great tunes in it and a few I didn't know also, I was obsessed with this music for quite a while in my teens and twenties.
a worldview based not just based on 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend', but 'the enemy of my online enemy is my friend'
"as Prime Minister, I insisted on reading the paper for fifteen minutes every day. And I made a resolution that I would put my phone away for most of that"
Watching this doc about John Cantlie and David Cameron proudly announces "I took a very strong view that the prime minister should know if ISIS had taken a hostage" - like as opposed to what "nope not interested pal" 😀
I absolutely agree. The centralisation of power and the mass privatisation is what worries me. I work in government tech so it seems really clear to me those are the risks, extensions of existing problems. Palantir make Deloitte or whatever look benign.
