This place is not a place of honor… no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here.
For the first time in my voting life I’m in a constituency that could (and should) flip. Feels like my first meaningful parliamentary vote. We should have PR so it can always feel like this.
If this turns out to be a hoax, I will cry. Over twice the speed of my Starlink for about half the price. And that’s not even the fastest package. I honestly did not see this coming.
So a few weeks ago, on a sunny day, I bought a new barbecue. As I stand here in the pouring rain in mid June, I would just like to apologise to the UK public for my foolishness. It has barely stopped raining since and I am sorry.
In April I went round all the Alexas and changed the logged in Apple Music account from mine to my wife’s.
May was the first month in several years where #TaylorSwift was not my number 1 artist on #AppleReplay.
She was still number 2 🤷♂️
What more relaxing way is there to spend bank holiday Monday than re-learning how to use App Store Connect to issue a minor update to the app you wrote for your wife’s business?

I enjoyed the latest #DrWho episode. It was vibes over logic, but deftly done. I did not enjoy the pretty brutal and unnecessarily crass treatment of adoption, something the show had handled well up to this point.
How can it possibly be 20 years since A Night at the Hip-Hopera? The best mash-up album. Never beaten.

Please vote. And while you’re there, check out the provenance of the retro-cool posters.
“The print code on some of the older posters indicates that they were produced for General Elections many years ago. The cluster of tiny numbers printed at the foot of the signs, typically “500M/9/55” indicates in this example that half a million copies were produced in September 1955. Check your local signs to see when they were printed – they may be older than you.”
