It’s purely a coincidence. Nothing to see here, Number 10 insisted. Perish the thought that the reshuffle marked an entrenchment of the right and a further widening of the gulf between Labour and government. Deputy leadership contest? Bit of a nuisance really, and anyway, Keir’s already bypassed that and appointed a deputy PM. Job done, […]

Ashley, can we talk about our driveway encounter the other day? I realize we don’t know each other very well, but let me just come right out and say it: Please don’t judge me for the fact that I was blasting the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack in my car.

Was it necessary for me to keep the music cranked to full volume while waiting for the track “Golden” to finish? Possibly not. At any rate, I recognize that my own singing may have impeded your full enjoyment of the song, given that the high notes are at least an octave out of range for my alto voice. But as an experienced high school choir girl who in 1998 was given a one-line solo in “Stormy Weather”—well, how can I keep from singing? And after hitting “repeat” on that track approximately a hundred times while driving around town the past week, I feel confident in saying that those high notes are starting to resemble a more human and less squeaky or animalistic sound. If I may say, I’m going “up, up, up with [my] voice.”

However, I did not mean to upset your dog.
