Wise guys realise there's danger in emotional ties. #songinmyhead

Where is love? #songinmyhead

You've got your troubles, I've got mine. #songinmyhead

Let me take you down. #songinmyhead

A Yougov survey I completed recently asked what I thought was the most important issue facing our country, with a range of choices like Immigration, The Cost Of Living, the NHS, and so on, and after a while I realised what I actually thought and ticked 'Other' and said 'Regulation of social media'.

There are mixed views of the Rest Is History boys, but I do like how they don't take themselves too seriously, and their self-mockery, and their willingness to wind up their American listeners by eg speaking the words of the 'Founding Fathers' in the accents of the parts of Britain they were from.

I've seen quite a few people quoteposting this story in my timeline, quite rightly saying the kind of things you would expect in response (as per gif); but I'm not sure why this six-month-old story is getting so much quoteposting action just now.

Now there's a look in your eyes like black holes in the sky. #songinmyhead

Closer than ever to giving up on Kermode/Mayo film podcast; time spent on actual film reviews has got tinier, + while I've always appreciated MK's reviewing, it has got increasingly skewed by whether Mark & Simon a) know & like people who made it + b) agree with the film's political/social position.

And it's row, row bullies row, them Liverpool judies have got us in tow. #songinmyhead

If you look closely you can see the marks of raindrops from the two minutes of rain we had this evening at the Elephant and Castle. Glorious.

You just need to take several seats... #songinmyhead A fat-shaming joke from Taylor Swift, which whizzes by because it's sung so fast, and has tenuous deniability ('it's you plural'), (and even if it is such a joke we don't like the target so it's alright). Not sure why I'm brooding on that today.

All in a dream, all in a dream, the loading had begun. #songinmyhead

I like the way that when you report a scam account to Bluesky you still have to go back in again and separately block it, like, yeah I know it's a scam account but I'd still like to keep in touch.

And still you ask me, do I love you. What it is, what it is. All I can tell you is it's all showbiz. All I can tell you is it's all showbiz. #songinmyhead

Aye

I was glad to have the opportunity (during the interval of a surprisingly good clown-themed production of Hamlet at Jackson's Lane Theatre) to shake Bill Oddie's hand and thank him for the viewing and listening pleasure he'd given me over the years, from Goodies to repeated ISIRTA to Springwatch.

mildly funny that X is having blazing rows about Nolan’s Odyssey because he cast black people in it and Bluesky is having blazing rows about whether a noted Homeric translator’s LRB review of it misses the point or not

Curse buses which have windows in the ceiling, so that when you sit on the shady side the sun still shines on you. What's the big idea?

I want it that way. #songinmyhead

Returning to Middlemarch after so long that I had to read chapter summaries to remind myself of the story so far. Late review: Eliot is great. Such a phrase- , sentence- , paragraph-maker. Its length makes you want to read through it fast, but you can't. Every word counts, every page holds delight.

Morris Folk Club for July is on next Tuesday, 28th, 7.30pm-10.30pm(ish), at The Betsey Trotwood, Farringdon Road, Clerkenwell. Free entry. What it's like: www.morrisfolkchoir.org/p/folk-club..... What we did last time: www.morrisfolkchoir.org/p/club-setli... (+pic). Come, sing, play, listen, enjoy!

I nearly told someone that the train I am on was bustier than I expected. It isn't.

I learned the truth at seventeen. #songinmyhead

This note gets it just right. You apologise for eating the plums, express sympathy for their owner and explain your motivation for eating them. Just one note: consider offering to replace the plums. This small gesture could do a lot to smooth things over
