Just got an email from Apple informing me that Apple TV+ is increasing in price from £69 per year to £99. A 44% increase is a hell of a rise! They *do* have the best science fiction, but still...

Labour's victory is really important, but emotionally it feels to me less like a birthday present and more like getting a new boiler. This is a work election.

- Labour's vote spread was way more efficient than under Corbyn. Brilliant groundgame - Tory vote was cannibilized by Reform - soft tories stayed at home, unlike with Corbyn - Labour will need to win back the votes lost due to terrible trans and gaza policies ALL THESE THINGS CAN BE TRUE AT ONCE

The Tories are so lucky. With so few people over on that side, just think how much room they'll have to stretch out on the opposition benches! What a luxury!

I recommend you vote for whichever MP you feel most represents you, or whichever party you feel is more likely to have your best interests at heart. We don't have great choices, it's true, and for some of us those choices are extremely limited. I recognise that it's not a simplistic choice for many.

UK peeps: Reminder to vote, tomorrow. Even though a landslide is predicted, don't think that your vote doesn't count. Staying home because you think it's a foregone conclusion could make a difference. Be heard. Be counted. Be vote. (I may need to workshop that slogan a bit more.)

So, 4th of July is when we get the Tories out. I'm going to refer to this as "Independence Day". A silly name, I know, and one which will never catch on.

It is not lost on the voting bloc of African Americans, the swiftness with which all of the incremental progress that we have won *for all people* through blood, death, organization, protest, civil and uncivil unrest & of course voting, is dashed away in an instant at the whim of white establishment

I blame social media. It used to be that the only time you got to see your favourite author was at a signing or other event, but now you can interact with them all day, every day, swapping photos of cats and advising on the best places to eat on vacation.
