Fun music game.

Take two songs with the same name and post your combined score out of 10. How high can you get?

No covers/no triples (e.g. Power of Love)

My first effort, which i think is hard to beat...

Zombie (Fela Kuti) 10/10
Zombie (The Cranberries) 7/10

Total score: 17

This could read as Thiel's pitch for the job.

Conservative tech lord Thiel said tighter financial regulations “were a sign that a singular world government has begun to emerge that could be taken over by an Antichrist figure who could then use it to exert control over people.” Via WashPost

New Wembley hums like a very busy shopping centre, which is interesting because that’s basically what it is.

Who benefits from the abolition of stamp duty land tax?

The first answer: people buying very expensive homes. Average saving for someone buying a £10m+ home is £1.7m. Average saving for someone buying a £250k-£500k home is £5k.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)
SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Reg the Dog likes sticks. So far so normal. But he likes leaving them in patterns like this. Basically he’s remaking The Blair Witch Project, isn’t he?

Farage said a convicted racist calling for migrants to burnt alive in hotels is free speech

He speaks freely criticising the Govt and making up lies about migrants

He hates the “cancel culture”

But he wants Gary Neville fired for having hit out at 'angry, middle-aged white men' dividing UK❗️🤷🏼‍♂️
Headline from the tabloid otherwise none as the telegraph, in which it says about phage saying that Gary Neville should be fired for free speech

The ever-excellent new @wsc.co.uk is out, full of good stuff. It includes a piece wot I wrote about Levy at Spurs. Quite ironic really - usually it's about the latest manager he's sacked, this time it's about him getting the Spanish archer. The biter bit.

I'll buy that (and hopefully Enic will)

Perhaps we should be grateful for Clegg's useful idiocy here in saying the quiet part out loud: "This industry can only thrive if it is allowed to destroy this other industry by being a pale imitation of it."
