The crowning of Burnham for prime minister by much of the establishment tells you everything we need to know. Not even Burnham can see that his value will not last long before they will turn on him as his support dives. Meanwhile democracy and freedom to disagree are being undermined.

It is projection, it is always projection. Always accuse your opponents of what you would like to do or who you would like to be. It takes something that is socially unacceptable now, slightly normalises it and diminishes attacks on you in the future when you actually become the thing.

One overdue BBC economy is getting rid of Radio 4. Anything vaguely worthwhile eg not the news stuff can be smeared between 5 Live, Radio 3 and the World Service, and maybe Radio 2 for the comedy).

All this circular training, bot output is the input for training new bots repeatedly will inevitably result in all that info condensing into a single piece of information. The answer is of course 42.

Game over. It will NEVER get better than this. #WorldBollardAssociation

so during my house move I found a box of riso-printed greetings cards I thought I'd sold out of. I've put them up for sale on my website - £7.50 for a set of 4 (bargain!), with recycled bright red envelopes. limited amount available, get 'em while they're hot 👀🔥 shop.frankduffy.co.uk/merch-badges...

My HP15c calculator I bought it in 1984 when I started Uni. The tactile feel of the keys is perfect and RPN is no problem.

More or Less debunked this. The European stats measure excess deaths in heatwaves whereas the US ones only measure deaths where heat is mentioned on the death certificate. They do think more die of heat in Europe because of the general lack of air conditioning but these stats aren’t reliable.

...the Frontal Cortex, which is responsible for planning and impulse control. At the national level, Lead poisoning correlates w/the great US crime wave that began around 1963 and only began to subside in the late 1990s. There's zero question that Lead damages young developing brains...

Eating Lead paint chips helped Mike Huckabee's political career? Dunno, but poisoning America w/Leaded gasoline helped fuel the rise of America's modern religious right which gave us Trump. The brains of infants & young children are VERY sensitive to Lead, which esp. damages the development of...

It's God's cruel joke that big kitties act pretty much the same as small kitties but can kill you

that a booster position for when the cats driving, duh

I have no idea if AGI will ever exist, but I’m damn sure it won’t happen just by throwing another order of magnitude or three of compute at LLM-based systems.

The sums involved in the MPs expenses scandal were chicken feed compared to the Farage £5m. HIs reaction - mind your own business - suggests he may not be cut out for this democracy thing app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/73952/...

The UK hit a new maximum temperature record for June for the third consecutive day at 37.3C. This follows highs of 36.7C on Thursday, and 36.1C on Wednesday. The previous record was 35.6C in June 1976. From giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/... Brutal nights and humidity mark Europe’s record June

my kind of Jubilee, the Japanese national team vs. 100 kids

Before 2003, 37.3C would not just have been a June UK temperature record but would have set the highest temperature in the country *ever*.

Trump had boxes and boxes of classified files at his flea ridden resort. Nothing He made an insurrection. Nothing. The failure of the last administration to prosecute him lead to the current situation.

The cooling system was installed by the village AC technician, Thermodynamix 😊

These are some of the most intensely mad eyebrows in physics. youtu.be/nDDIRju4TpM

We have the thunder and lightning but still no rain.

Since London is suffering tropical heat, I tried my hand for the first time making pina coladas Nailed it Very satisfying

Broke: Is Britain ungovernable? Woke: Are the people we elect shit at governing?

The breeze has gone, the clouds are stopping the heat escaping. We need them to get their act together and organise some showers for us. If nothing else it will save me from more watering in the morning.

“Anthropic global warming” was how I initially read this and with their energy intense data centres it is accurate.

How about, instead of having this “why don’t you install AC units everywhere?!” debate we start focusing on what’s driving this? Because, you know, no amount of AC units will help when the water dries up and parts of the planet become inhabitable.

Watching BBC News and they just did 5 minutes with a doctor about how this heatwave is life threatening and the interviewer closed it with "well, it's just an opportunity to have ice cream for breakfast!!". Amazing clip of how the BBC seems just blissfully unaware of what is happening

How many of you are like me tonight when the house is too hot and are sitting in the dark in the back garden?

Let’s all hang out at Pets At Home tomorrow they have FIERCE aircon for the bunnies and guinea pigs x

Last moments of today’s ball of heat apocalypse.

Oh my goodness, the BBC is updating Andy Burnham's policies for him in real time This article said something more radical a few hours ago, see below ➡️ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... @andyburnham.bsky.social you were right the first time: people want LOWER BILLS - and full PUBLIC OWNERSHIP

The Greens have finally taken their seats in the Senedd, ending one of the more curious anomalies in British politics ✍️Brenig Davies wp.me/p8Mk4U-1nHB

This is a devastating photo. That woman in Nigeria is being exposed to high levels of toxins that increase cancer and heart disease risks and can give you plenty of issues in the meantime.

Burnham’s new chief of staff was chief executive of lobbying firm Flint It’s like the British political elite is addicted to conflicts of interest www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

You can draw a through line between Standing Rock, Stop Cop City, the Palestine encampment student protests, and the results of the Prairieland case. And then still have Dems asking why there aren't more protests...

this is what is insane abt this case and these sentences. this isn't a sandwich throw. real violence happened here. a cop got shot. but by framing the protest as a conspiracy people who literally were uninvolved in the violence got de facto life sentences

Israel is still committing a genocide in Gaza. A UN inquiry found that the IDF is deliberately targeting Palestinian children. The genocidal army remains obsessively focused on making sure as many Palestinian children as possible suffer. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

In good news from the other side of the world recently I discovered Australia lets you have an X gender marker on your passport ! All hope is not lost etc

Dunno about anyone else but this seems like an easy choice! 🤷‍♀️

On June 5th Israel attacked the home of Lebanese sea turtle conservationist Mona Khalil. Mona was hospitalized with burns and injuries to over 70% of her body. Yesterday, June 19th, Mona died from her injuries. This wasn’t an accident.

Same revolving door. Andy Burnhamthe new potential UK Prime Minister says that Isra3l would be his first overseas visit if he were elected. He will resign in less than a year because a high percentage of the British people are anti-Z. Also, here’s the British A!pac! 👇🏼
