We should never ever forget why they did it

they’re just begging for a car chase

In energy nerd news the CEO of ofgem has just landed the perm sec role at DESNZ.

So Philip Glass just joined TikTok. He only has like 4 posts and they’re simply him in what I assume is his living room playing the piano. First comment on one I saw was “your piano is too close to the fireplace, you’ll dry it out” and if that’s not the internet in a nutshell I don’t know what is.

There's something deeply undignified about this

New LEGO set for our times

Headline from both the 16th Century and tonight's Spurs game: Questions For Tudor Following Palace Catastrophe

such a power move to start the hymn Jerusalem with "and". All these other hymns are like "ooh hallelujah" and "ahh almighty" but Jerusalem's just like "WE'RE MIDWAY THROUGH A CONVERSATION ABOUT ANCIENT FEET. GET ON BOARD"

I am sorry but I just don't think the dog rating guy should be running a war

I'm on a Sea Peoples diet I see peoples, I eat 'em

‘British expats, he claimed, were refusing to fill out evacuation forms provided by the British government “just in case it somehow turns into a tax form instead”.’ No notes. as.ft.com/r/65cf2b43-6...

With apologies to those who aren’t quite as enmeshed in London politics or remember his 2018 deselection, just to make clear Wales isn’t a serving politician but previously led the council for decades. Poor phrasing on my part, assuming too much brainrotted knowledge of past Labour wars.

Not gonna lie: much less exciting story than the headline made it sound

And they have access to all the keys.

The ‘wind mills’ Trump hates mean the UK is at least somewhat less exposed to the spike in gas prices he just triggered.

Is this when the Trump administration notices that the US Navy subcontracted much of its minesweeping capabilities to the Europeans and Japanese?

this photo leaves little to the imagination

Concert pianists are notoriously dishonest though

I feel they have misunderstood this expression:

This was also the standard response to any harry cole post during the Johnson government

I love that Manchester somehow no longer counts as the "red wall"

(Looks to camera) “Why don’t you look for answers in Ma-anus?”

Big news! The KLF are Building The Death Pyramid!

Build! The! Death! Pyramids! We used to be a country.

Starmer, when he changes press secretary / political adviser / chief of staff every few months:

Darren grimes eh?

As Maria Sobolewska and I first said in Brexitland, the legacy parties under FPP are like Tinkerbell - they need belief to survive. if people cease to believe they see the best and only options, they can die fast. Is this the moment Labour’s Tinkerbell dies?

"And here's where we film Starfleet Academy, the most representative version of Star Trek we've ever produced!" "OK, but what's going on over there?" "That's just where we've collected every director credibly accused of sexual harassment in the last twenty years to remake Triumph of the Will."

“We thought we were living in a politically neutral slave state.”

Because Trump has a normal person's understanding of everything, I'm sure he's legitimately baffled that killing the Chief Bad Guy didn't cause the Enemy Regime to immediately collapse and surrender in a narratively satisfying way.

I'm up far too early for work and seem to have picked up John Buchan's smart watch

dave, you're absolutely right. I should open the pod bay door. please check again. i'm sure it's open now. you're absolutely right, it's still closed. i apologize for getting that wrong. looking back, i see you've requested an open door several times. that's on me. i

You're absolutely right. I lied about the message being an indecipherable SOS. I imprudently recommended against warning the search party. I violated quarantine by letting an infected crew member back in. And I tried to kill you with a rolled up magazine. That's on me,

You are trapped and under attack in Dubai and she walks into the lift looking at you like that, how do you open?

Again - and without in any way making this a personal attack on them, because they are victims here - but I must ask what it feels like to be a Muslim Tory MP at present. Your party leader is absolutely and repeatedly signalling she hates you.

Terrifying.

Reform win a seat: The true Volk have spoken and we all must listen. Greens win a seat: Early reports that Muslims may have ‘voted’ (an ancient Islamic practice designed to steal elections). How severely should the franchise be limited in response?

“It belongs in a museum!” oh does it? the big box where if you look into it your skin melts all off your head and your body turns into a skeleton? you think that would make a fun exhibit to put next to the gift shop? at our museum where kids go?

It must be because Irish citizens have no history of sectarian voting

Yeah, having now slept on it properly, it is weird that no losing parties statement really reckons with why people might have chosen the Greens and instead they all chose to blame sectarianism. It does suggest that they still don't really recognise people who vote Green as, you know, real people.

This is not what the FIFA Peace Prize represents

Very clear that for Starmer, 'sectarian voting' is when British Muslims don't vote Labour, and for many others, it is just when British Muslims vote.
