Saw Coldplay and Gracie Abrams in one week and stuck in post-concert depression.

So you know why Chinese speaking people call the #GRAMMYs “Gramuglies”.

Context: The “my” in “Grammys” is translated to a Chinese character meaning “beautiful”.

Hong Kong’s TV regulator says TVB minority breached the broadcasting codes by airing inaccurate news on 18 June 2025.

I don’t know what happened but based on the date I guess it’s because of this.

So the Hong Kong knock off of The Morning Show is now available on Chinese streaming platforms and will be on HK’s local TV next week.

Yes I don’t like it but well it’s still better than The Newsroom which is more political preaching than a drama series about the industry.

Newsbeat on the NYC mayor election: “PinkPantheress had a message from him at one of her gigs in America. Lorde posted it about him. Now, New York got its youngest mayor in over 100 years. Zohran Mandani, 34, and the city’s first Muslim one too…”

WHAT THE HECK the stars on these signs are inspired by the Hong Kong sugar brand Taikoo?! You must be kidding!

Well Taikoo’s parent company Swire makes Coca-cola in Hong Kong so Madison Beer, Hong Kong Coke… it makes sense though.

We're back with Greg (also known as Glaudia) on the eighth floor - the highest turret of the BBC's headquarters - for the third murder of the game.

This time, there's a twist.

Listeners acting as Glaudia's traitors are being asked to choose both a victim and a recruit.
