Trump v Musk is undoubtably funny but let’s not forget the absolute havoc that they have created together. Millions and millions of dollars cut in foreign aid for a start. A country where people are terrified of being raided by ICE and deported. Shameful.

Daniel Levy is watching the NFL half time show right now thinking hmm, we could do that if we don’t spend anything on the team.

Watched Home Alone and Home Alone 2 back to back at the cinema today. The original is vastly superior.

Have finished Day of the Jackal on Sky. It’s obvs not as good as the book or the original film and it has weird bits of plot all over the place but it was a fun watch. A solid 6.5 out of 10.
