I don’t sleep that well when I’m on my own – however, when sharing a bed, no problem.

Anyhoo, here’s some insomnia advice from the Incredibles:

Oh fuck. Was that the Ivor Lewis procedure you had? Really glad you’re doing well.

Corbyn, Trump, Cummings; it’s not been great couple of weeks for narcissists.

Still ongoing!

I stayed up to watch it. It was a good speech, he seems like a well-rounded human being and it’s basically a huge relief to have a grown-up back in charge of the USA.

It’s a brilliant album. And his video for Divided States of America is peak topical this evening:

I’m withering between staying up and going to bed now and getting up at 3 or so. As I don’t feel remotely sleepy, I’ll have to rely on wine and Pringles to keep me up until 3 or 4am.

NB there is precisely *zero* chance of any “independent” Scotland […]

Sad news. I’ve never seem him play and was hoping that I still might. For someone for whom playing was such a big part of his life, to be deprived of it must be very difficult.

Last time there was a referendum on separatism – just 6 years ago – 55% gave nationalism the thumbs down.

This is my go-to spirit lifter. Karen Less, Love is on the Way:

Yes indeed. Likely to be my favourite record of the year (although Blue Rose Code is also rather good).

It’s a pile-on from the Hoffman forums.

My copy arrived today. Worth the wait.

I can think of no better ending than the – frankly, marvellous – Bombay Royale:
