England are through to the final of Euro 2024. The Tories have been voted out. I’d just like to suggest to the person with the magic lamp that they use their last wish very wisely.

This really came together pretty quickly once I figured out a couple of the clues.

You push the blue button, the voyage ends, you wake up off the seabed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in the water, and I show you how long the voyage goes.

The current Cannonball Run record is 25 hours, 39 minutes, with an average speed of 113MPH. Set by Arne Toman and Doug Tabbutt in an Audi S6 camouflaged to look like an undercover cop car and set lose on the pandemic-cleared interstate, chances are it won't be beaten again in our lifetimes.

Yeah the fact it was an absurd thing to do and of minimal value overall really highlights that part of it. Makes no kind of actual sense at all, which is highly consistent with a momentary compulsion/stress response. =/

I still don't really know very much about the guy, but equally, they needed more inroads into Auckland than just Chloe, and he was apparently a huge part of that, so yeah. A terrible year.

Obviously it would have been better if she's just not done the thing, but definitely the early resignation and being willing to talk about everything helped a *lot*, at least as far as people who were moderately sympathetic to her were concerned. But definitely a rubbish year for the Greens so far.

Historically speaking, assuming it would be the ACT MP was absolutely the correct call, and vetting only goes so far. (And it's harder to do when you have 15 or so people instead of like 7. Victims of their own success!) Sometimes you still need the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff.

Love this summary of my win by @hendysh.bsky.social and definitely borrowing some of these words for my new bio 😂: “Dr Siouxsie Wiles helped us beat a virus. She has just stared down a billion-dollar organisation that had lost its way. I have no idea what challenge she will take on next.”

I always liked that Onion headline about romantic comedy behavior leading to a man getting arrested But honestly, I’ve read a good number of romantic comedy books in the past few years, and if anybody’s getting arrested, it’s those who behave like the romantic comedy heroine’s sassy best friend

The election doesn’t look good for Joe Biden, but don’t lose hope. I’ve heard rumors that his opponent Donald Trump, despite his squeaky-clean image, has a few skeletons in the closest of his own, and would be VERY embarrassed if certain scandalous details were to become public during the campaign

Are professional sports athletes 'artists'? Might be a kind of category error. Given that rockstars tend to sell out huge stadiums *and* be pretty good (or at least, interesting) looking, and people who make amazing sculptures don't necessarily need sky-high personal charisma and abs.
