Bizarrely the first song on my list is one I have never even heard of!
Apple Workout Buddy (just announced at #WWDC) sounds horrible to me. Honestly that sort of “you smashed it" motivation is very subjective and doesn’t work for me; I want details on how well I am executing a structured set, not that I’ve got a PR (never a training target) or what my avg HR is #Apple
Let’s say you’re a British citizen who has been outspoken, on social media and elsewhere, about your pro-Palestinian or anti-Trump views. Would it be a foolish idea to travel to the US right now? “I wouldn’t say ‘don’t come,’ but I’d say evaluate your risk”

Unbelievably my Tesco grocery bill is at least 50% higher than its ever been this week! They tell me “that’s how tariffs work”. Hogwash! I’m putting the tariff up to 65% with immediate effect. Also noticed many other suppliers are ripping me off with the same trade deficit! More to come…

Just realised I have spent loads of money at Tesco over the years but they have never bought anything from me which means there is a massive trade deficit so I am hitting them with a 50% tariff immediately. That’ll show em. #Trump #Tariffs
