Thank God football is over for the summer

the hungry observatory

Unsure which is more surprising, the fact that Finland had a pop magazine called STUMP or that the Fast Show's Jazz Club presenter (you know, the one who says "niiice!!") appears to have actually existed

Despite normally rooting for Leeds, my best wishes are with West Ham. (Apologies if I've confused anyone with my intense football slang there, it comes natural to me).

Sunday morning sun snooze

Twat is the best swearword. The only swearword that can both capture the breadth of affection and depths of despair one can feel for someone all at once. It lacks the aggression of the other curses, it shoos away easily, it's a panda at a bear party. I love you, but you're being a twat.

because I know y’all can’t click and read

I've been ranting about this for MONTHS Every single penny that's stolen by AI is a penny that ends up in a tech bro's offshore account instead of circulating in the local economy We are simply not ready for what's coming by that money being funnelled upwards instead of staying in our pockets

I had to Google Sisyphus to get the joke🤦‍♂️ Worth it.

Happy cuntiversary to whoever had a massive fireworks display down at the guesthouse down the road. Horses were pacing in the stables and I had our dog Mollie trembling in the bath tub (her go to place on bonfire night)

Sour cream

This looks awesome

It really does feel that all these billionaire techbros and the politicians they employ have watched Wall-E and Idiocracy and decided that is the exact future for the world they want to create.

More please. I'm sure it'll be fine.

Twenty Bensons and pork pie please.

DINOSAUR CHAT We all know that dinosaurs liked running round and eating each other, but what were their day to day lives like? Here we examine a typical day...

Bunny!

Meiko Kaji and Gene Hackman prints. What a buddy movie that would have been!

Another afternoon spent on the lake wind foiling. Wednesday's winter wetsuit gave way to the summer one and I was still deliberately jumping in the water to cool off. No wind forecast for the weekend so glad to have been able to get a good session in.

a very hot trend right now is every politician/party/faction about whom you for a single millisecond entertain the thought "perhaps they might be alright" doing something completely fucking disgusting before you have time to blink

“The solar and wind energy are intermittent and unreliable!” Me: The Strait of Hormuz hasnt Hormuz’ed for 79 straight days and the world is about to hemorrhage because of it. You’ll be praying for solar panels or a rooftop wind turbine shortly.

This headline is fuel for the right-wing anti-migrant reaction machine, but the article reveals the employer knowingly brought her to the UK under a visitor visa to employ her, then denied her a work permit—and most importantly!—refused to pay her any wages. This looks approximate to modern slavery

Huh. So there is someone who's good at Comms/socials at Labour without being dreadfully cringe? Clearly these need to be seen more.

I've rapidly lost interest in the clearly pointless Labour leadership thing. Plus ça change...

Aberdeen FC. Bravo. 👏

Lads, Harry Hill is a legend

I'm of an age where I was seduced by a cute mini watering can

Prison. Send them all to prison. All the way up to the Orange office.

Finally back suited up and on the water

Social media has reverted much of the population to the condition of superstitious medieval peasants. Can't understand how something works? Cry witchcraft. Vaccines, urban planning, clouds (ffs) and it's all 'I saw Goody Proctor with the devil!'

Compared to some of the anemic beige shit I've seen on here, that van cooking looks alright.

If AI can’t make money without massive energy subsidies, then AI can’t make money.

Keep this in mind when people claim cars mean business — closing Central #Madrid to cars over holidays resulted in a 9.5% boost in retail spending on its main shopping street: STUDY. There was also a 71% drop in air pollution. Via @carltonreid.com in @forbes.com. #citymakingmath #citiesforpeople

Toblerone have started making puddings, and I don’t think I’m ever going to financially recover from this

Honestly, I dont really care about the internal Labour politics of it all. Whoever gets squeezed out of the leadership sphincter needs to know that mending the fences with the EU and getting as close to them as we can, (rejoining, ideally,) is the quickest positive move the UK could make.

look, we shouldn't have to boil the oceans because you cooked your brain to the point that you can't compose a 1.5 sentence email

What's the ideal thing after two weeks away? Hone cooked roast dinner that's what.LOOK AT THESE FUCKING YORKSHIRE PUDDINGS

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt was booed throughout this commencement speech at the University of Arizona for his praise of AI. This comes just a week after another commencement speaker who mentioned AI was booed at a school in Florida. Read more: www.404media.co/ucf-ai-comme...

When my car pulls into the drive after 2 weeks away

Alien: And how did you run out of water? Earthling: Machines drank it. Alien: Machines. Earthling: We had to feed machines the water. Aliens: So the machines were holding your planet hostage for water. Earthling: No, we made the thirsty machines. They worked for us. Alien: End communication.

Good finals night. Off-air at midnight, de-rigged by 2.45am. Bus to airport 6am, so not much point going to bed.
