I love the period before a budget when every columnist writes a "what this budget needs to deliver" column, and they all find 1,000 words to say, "cut taxes for the rich and cut welfare spending to pay for it". It is a timeless ritual, as predetermined as druids at Stonehenge for the solstice.

The news is pretty good at the moment because it's 'The AI companies are trying to kill us all' and 'no one can afford to be alive anymore' and 'we have created a society built to appease the greed of the few at the detriment of the many' and then ask 'why are the young people rioting'.

Anyone going to SynthFest? Just weighing it up.

This was a great chat with a lovely human. Tune in tomorrow to listen to it back!

How US politics seems to non Americans: Democratic candidate: a stirring, intelligent orator, a deeply religious family man and devoted public servant. Republican candidate: convicted fraudster, multiple adulterer and rubbish speaker who trades in blatant lies and outright bigotry Result: toss up

Watching one of the early Poirot episodes and, as per usual, grumpy old Sir William Receding-Hairline is arguing with his headstrong nephew Hugo Floppy-Fringe.
