Amazing thing always being that there is this belief that the EU doesn't analyse all of this. There is no chance for any Rejoin discussions while the UK is one election away from redoing Brexit or even more extreme Brexit.

Today I learned that my wife designed the food hygiene rating sign.

ENDS TODAY!

As a proud resident of Shirley, this thread made me terribly proud. Brought tears to my eyes.

As a lifelong Palace supporter who is deeply unconcerned about today’s game v Arsenal, I find myself in the weird position of desperately wanting West Ham to win. It feels like I need a shower. But it would be so good.

I once got kicked out of a Depeche Mode after show party for eating Dave Gahan's Brie and Stilton. Apparently they were his personal cheeses.

Some news - you can read it all in the alt text www.gailmyerscough.co.uk

This popped up and made me laugh. It might be more fun and games

Occasionally I chance upon a fact that leaves me slack-jawed. Astounding.

Google Chrome now installs a 4GB AI model onto your computer, which you cannot remove. This is illegal in Europe and the UK.

Super fun game. Takes about two minutes. I'm PM material, apparently.

it’s worth reading every word of this brilliant, excoriating column by Fraser Nelson

This continues to be a hugely expensive problem for me. And it's all down to a major lie at the heart of Substack's promise that writers on Substack can leave and take their subscriber list with them at any time. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Excellent thread. We've not won but we are probably no longer losing the battle against fossil fuel use.

Death's too good for them.

If I’m being honest, I’m feeling pretty down about my small business. I’m working so hard but it’s been very quiet. It’s bloody difficult at the moment. Please have a look at what I do and repost to spread the word. www.gailmyerscough.co.uk

30+ years later and still very much relevant today…#CalvinandHobbes

Police vans now lining up ready for the recently-coined “grab a granny brigade”. A reminder that these signs have words written on them which replicate a 1670 placard proudly displayed inside the Old Bailey. This is not a crime.

We lost this little fella, Charlie, yesterday. In perfect health at lunchtime, gone by teatime. A short, painless heart failure. He was a diamond and will be sadly missed. #proofofcat

Absolutely incredible. NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone. Watch with sound on.

Well, happy thrremony at tremony at the liremony at the libraremony at the library day to all who celebrate

Justice delayed...

I own and run both an electric van and car. I spent an hour this week being firmly informed by a guest in our house that EVs are unable to manage long trips, unreliable and unsuitable for most people. It was quite the education so I'm going to sell ours and go back to ICE.

Every council should follow suit.

A piece everybody should read. You cannot trust AI.

It’d be interesting to see him nailed to a cross.

Eternal tie between these two absolute gods.

It's my own fault for using ChatGPT as a search tool, but this really made me laugh. "...with an important nuance..." is sublime 🤌

I vaguely remember the final part of this tale. Good to see that she's been keeping busy since then. Shame they missed out that she escaped justice in Britain disguised as a mime artist. No, I'm not joking.

How can this go on for another 3 years?

This is an excellent summary of the US War on Iran current situation. I’m an existentialist and borderline absurdist and even I struggle with the current moment. This summary is just fantastic.

@octopus.energy Trying to create an Electroverse account. Are you aware just how unhelpful messages like these are? I don't mind being asked for complex passwords (the one I created is pretty complex) but just to reject without giving the rules I need to follow is infuriating.

We have a choice to make. Do we want blindly to follow America in its decline or are we strong enough to choose our own way?

Heavens. Under a post about AI creating false cases in a legal brief I find this out. Using AI to create critical patient notes on handover will end up killing people, if it hasn't already. Why do people trust AI to be in any way accurate?

As my MP, I'm interested in your opinion on this @laboursatvir.bsky.social . Do you approve of the UK becoming involved in Trump's insane and illegal war in Iran?

In an exhibit at the Nantwich museum about the great fire of Nantwich (1583). Not sure he thought that one through...

I have a quantum joke. It's both funny and not funny.

Conversion overheard in the pub last night. "Mum's going through another divorce. She's in her late eighties but she just couldn't give up the... er... infidelity".

"After all, look how well that's worked out for me."

A crypto investor just donated £9 million to the Reform Party. Right now, billionaires can pour unlimited money into our elections, effectively buying our democracy. Think that's wrong? Add your name to call for a cap on donations today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...

I'm immune to much of what the idiots in and around the US government say but this one made me laugh. 'If the Iranians stopped doing what they are doing in response to our insane attacks, everything would be just fine."

A BBC guide to dealing with difficult times suggests we voice our emotions exactly. I'm struggling to imagine how the conversation would go if my wife asked me how I was and I replied "I'm suffering from existential despair again darling, thanks for asking."

Three weeks into EV car ownership. Conversations include: There's no charging infrastructure. I suppose they're good for round town stuff. We can't have one because we have to go to X, 170 miles away. (They go twice a year, otherwise furthest maybe 20 miles). How long will the battery last?

Calling about your accident despite cars not existing yet.

I still think about this a lot.

I think the right have seriously, catastrophically misread the mood. My business means I talk to a reasonable number of members of the general public, many of them far to help right of me. A small sample but 100% of them are against any UK involvement in this unfolding disaster.
