Here are some of the songs I've been listening to this summer. It starts with a song Michelle and I love by Glen Hansard, a great musician who passed tragically this week. Our hearts go out to his family.

Reading a pre-season Guardian sport guide to the Premier League and realised this is the first year ever there's been no team in the league beginning with W 😥

Husband just came in to tell me that since the assassination of Abraham Lincoln every American president has been alive at the same time as Herbert Hoover.

'How a mysterious ghost ship brought cosmic disco to Cape Verde' might be one of my favourite ever headlines

Doug Mack@douglasmack.bsky.social · 2mo ago

One of my favorite Cabo Verde facts is that it has a genre of music that arose after an abandoned ship washed up in 1968, carrying hundreds of keyboards and synths

Dublin-born Cape Verde defender Pico Lopes was offered a slot in the national side over LinkedIn. Accepted the second time because the first invitation was in Portuguese „which i didn’t speak”

The Londoner@londonermag.bsky.social · 2mo ago

In November 2023, police discovered the decayed corpse of Tracey Turnell in Walthamstow Market. She had no phone, job, passport, friends or lovers. There wasn’t a single photo of her. It was as if, in her far too public death, she entered the public record for the first time. Who was she?

This is just an invasion by any other name. In a just world, Israel would face the same treatment as Russia.

Yesterday Israel ordered the inhabitants of Nabiteh to leave (population of 100,000) They then ordered the inhabitants of Tyre to leave (pop of 200,000). Now they've ordered the entire south to leave - up to 300 towns & villages. Alex Crawford reporting from Lebanon today

Captain. Leader. Far-right sympathiser. Terry joins ranks of football’s radicalised | Jonathan Liew

Captain. Leader. Far-right sympathiser. Terry joins ranks of football’s radicalised | Jonathan Liew

John Terry’s journey into the internet pipeline is by no means an isolated case – what makes footballers so susceptible? And so we ask ourselves: how did it come to this? Did we miss the signs? Were there red flags that went unheeded, cries for help that fell on closed ears, forks in the road not taken? Or ultimately, for all our best efforts, was it always going to end like this? Is it, in fact, possible that John Terry was a far-right sympathiser all along? Yes, it’s been a chastening week for those who have been fighting Terry’s corner for more than a decade.
