Interesting from @HansardSociety on the wonderfully arcane MP resignation procedure (sadly the @chiltern_100s/@northsteadmanor accounts have fallen dormant), the vital #ArmedForcesBill and the potential of pre-legislative scrutiny.

Moira Rose taught us how to fall apart with dignity. Catherine O’Hara taught us how to build a career that peaks at 66. She started as a waitress at Second City Toronto. The director told her to keep waitressing. She replaced Gilda Radner anyway. For 50 years she played women

From Germany🇩🇪, "Fire" by Sarah Engels seems to be getting talked up and can see why, but "Wonderland" by Laura Nahr not bad. Engels also has a more stomp-clap song called "Keep You Safe", Nahr has a track called "Worst Day" that reminds of Remember Monday's "Laugh About It".

Even if this number is exaggerated, the brutality of the violence unleashed by the Iranian regime against its own people is beyond horrifying. This cannot, must not continue. - vía @TIME https://t.co/KuJPLIppbu

Also, Sydney Sweeney being the spit of Amanda Seyfried but playing the role Seyfried could've played 10-15 years ago, with Seyfried playing a mum instead, was disorienting.

Saw this yesterday, solid film. The twist about the bloke you can sense coming but not the specifics, although I didn't quite follow the Sweeney character's uncritical acceptance that it was fine for her to be thrown into a trap, with only the gardener pointing it out.

"Hush Hush" was catchy and a little Tate McRae-ish, figured it'd be a good entry for Lux. But this winner seems talented and the song is a bit indie, might grow on me. Neither as good as Laura Thorn with La poupee monte le son, mind, which got robbed. https://t.co/u4YCo2e7HF

Complicated process for Norway's entry, with some decent songs and two past national entrants (Alexander Rybak and EMMY). Sad to see EMMY knocked out, her new song probably might've wider appeal than her 2025 bid for Ireland. https://t.co/UYroOWmyNm
