Off on a long run. Instead of water and an energy gel, I'm going to take this giant apple. It's the size of a grapefruit.

@skywatch.blue can you remove me from your lists, thanks

Green Party - legalise drugs but cancel ale festivals for promoting alcohol.

Why can't parliament simply commandeer the palace? It's big enough.

Ffs

Also performance enhancing drugs. Everything else is secondary. In Serena's case the glp-1 is currently legal (wada are looking at it), but I doubt that's all. Ronaldo definitely looks like he's on hgh, at least.

Another appalling Connections today. Two, and arguably three categories contain words that don't fit.

The US players and staff should really be asked (and asking themselves) if they want to endorse this by staying silent.

Actual anti Greek racism too. That's just bizarre.

Fun bit in the replies to this with a bunch of American accounts calling Trump a fascist because of his political and personal crassness without realising that Meloni is the real deal when it comes to fascism.

Siri, show me a bad loser!

Lol

ha ha ha ha ha ha @duncanweldon.bsky.social what were you thinking?

The analysis is one thing, but is there any reason the Americans can't call them constituencies? They know what a constituency is.

Entirely undermined by the complete missing of the point about Beavis and Butthead. Had Sagan lived longer he would have Dawkinsed himself.

This is a spoof right?

Today’s note: on the cuts at the BBC. The problem has a simple cause - in 2010, the licence fee was £220 in today’s money. Now it is £180.

So if Ukraine can strike the Russian capital at will, which underground base in Siberia is Putin going to spend his summer in?

Thinking about it, I don't think the Guardian should have published this at all. The author is a child and the article makes false claims on a contentious subject. They should remove it as they have some duty of care to contributors. I'm going to delete my tweet.

McSweeney!

They isolated him from his minders and then all it took was a sharpie. He's too addled to know what he's done.

Lol

OK, that was a good goal.

Labour, worship people who will never vote for them, contemptuous of people who will. Just a party that has absolutely lost all understanding of what it's for. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Still amazes me that pretty much 100% of Americans look at Donald Trump, go 'what a guy, huh', and then support him remaining in power for another 2.5 years.

If the BBC tested all prospective presenters for cocaine and steroids they'd ensure they employ a much better quality www.theguardian.com/media/2026/j...

That h202 is going to break down in a few hours. It's going to make no difference. It's chlorine they need to add.

Scotland a blue state? Not voted majority tory for over 59 years...

We shouldn't feel sorry for these people. There are 100s of organisations of all faiths and none that support the Palestinians and these middleclass, entitled idiots decided to support the only one carrying out illegal acts. go.bsky.app/redirect?u=h...

Got a jury summons - which isn't great because not only will the loss of earnings not cover my loss of earnings, nor my travel. More importantly it would prevent me from fulfilling my contractual obligations to my client...

The campest man in the office has just referred to his wife when in conversation and that just proves like most straight men I have no sense to provide gaydar.

This is the kind of stuff that blows up and permanently alters the balance of powers. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j... USA just ludicrously stupid not to be diplomatic and defuse this. The demographic future of Asia is primarily India and China and they're making enemies of both.

Internet licenses, like driving licenses, and with automatic revocation once you pass 60 where you have to pass a test every year to keep it.

Odd article - spends a lot of time saying LLMs aren't the key, then a paragraph on protein prediction (not solved by LLMs, but by the AI technique that would apply to batteries), but doesn't get into why protein prediction was (partially) solved by AI (huge, accurate and unique dataset).

Another Connections where it is clear that Americans don't know what words mean.

We have, at least, identified the pro-bedtime left, I guess.

Has Syed apologised yet for being a chump who helped cover up doping by Team Sky by claiming it was marginal gains? Of course, because he's a idiot he didn't know it was doping at the time. We know it was now though.

It will never get better than this.

The trouble is that if you're recruiting via CVs then you'll get 100s of generic CVs you're never going to read properly, or worse these days - AI generated ones designed to fulfill every requirement in the ad, but which the person applying doesn't actually have the skills to do.

CANZEU

Please stop comparing this stuff to tobacco. There is no similarity whatsoever. www.theguardian.com/film/2026/ju...

Scottish kryptonite is unnecessarily fried food, and what is the bulk of the American palate but...?

The journey of Trevor Phillips from the Runnymede Trust to anti-woke grifter has been remarkable. www.theguardian.com/media/2026/j...

If you can build data centres anywhere with power and water, why would you build them in space? Honestly though, and if clean power is your thing, then build them in Norway or the UK or Japan where clean power is abundant and water flows free.

You really do not want to arm the factions in NI. In fact, there was a very long campaign in which America played a key role to take arms away from them in the 90s...

At this point I hope the clients who commission these reports have it written into the contracts that if false information is inserted by AI then the client is entitled to some of their money back.

Ahh no. Everybody knows he's irrational because his brain has gone. That's what should be the basis of this article. The man is no more in control of his actions than he is of his bladder and bowels.

This is the level of discourse between fellows the Royal Society endorse.

Ejecting several 100kg of highly combustable mass at speed seems unsafe, tbh.

umm I very much promise you that is NOT in fact all they want to be!!!!!!
