Who else has been doing the 5.30 am dash around their homes opening all windows and doors to get the temperature down, before slamming them all shut and drawing blinds and curtains and living in a dark den during the day to try and minimise heat rises during the day?

On the anniversary of Brexit, a brief excerpt from The Decade In Tory gives you a reminder of the man who led the official campaign. Warning: will cause head explosions. open.substack.com/pub/russinch...

It took me eighteen months to finish reading The Decade In Tory. Not because it was a difficult read (it was brilliant), but because I couldn't read more than a page without having to put the book down, go out into the garden, scream loudly and kick something.

(Hopefully) my final quotes from The Decade In Tory today. Reclaiming patriotism from the far right.

Right, I'm gonna go and write my next book. Fuck Brexit.

It is 21:30 and it’s still 29 degrees. This is not normal.

I haven't been this impressed with a candidate in a l-o-n-g time. If @jamestalarico.bsky.social is the future of the Democratic Party, we are in VERY good shape.

Damn they know how to hurt him

So true…. #BookSky

Iran left a message in their locker room thanking Los Angeles for its hospitality during the #WorldCup + saying they are leaving ‌with dignity. Iran has spent the tournament ⁠based in Tijuana commuting to the US for their matches because of restrictions surrounding their stay in the country.

Data centers are harming every environment they are placed in.

Owning a lot of books is great. Packing and moving with a lot of books is not great.

Wow

Iran denied making any new commitments during negotiations in Switzerland over the weekend.

There’s a lot to unpack with the Iran negotiations, but here are the big takeaways: Kushner is there to work out the best deal for his own business interests, not the best deal for the U.S. “He is a fundamentally corrupted actor in these negotiations.” - Chris Murphy 1/2

Before leaving SoFi Stadium, Iran’s Football Team left a note in the locker room thanking Los Angeles for their hospitality: “We came to Los Angeles with pride, competed with honor, and leave with dignity….. may peace, respect, and friendship prevail among all nations. ❤️”

Soccer was invented to trick Americans into learning where other countries are.

If you think women are over dramatic, just watch some guy whose football team is losing on the tv.

The thank-you note and the strong performance against the top side in their group came despite the Iranian coach’s complaint about being forced to play in the “worst” conditions.

Summer Solstice captured from Stonehenge yesterday. At first light, the sun climbed up behind the Heel Stone and threaded itself straight through the center of Stonehenge exactly where the builders aimed it nearly 5,000 years ago. Ethereal Earth on FB

The BBC bringing on the pundits saying that Starmer’s failure was due to him not doing enough to deregulate big business and cut welfare and we should now call a general election is my cue to turn the TV back off.

Many declines of a superpower nation have images or paintings that encapsulate the downfall. The National Guard protecting a green-colored pool over imaginary "vandals" will be one of those for the US.

The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was perfectly fine before the orange felon wasted upwards of $17M to fuck it up it and pretend to fix. Now aside from green algae and peeling blue paint, dead animals are being seen in the mix. This wasn’t a renovation, it was sabotage.

Farage, forever the Hypocrite, Burnham will lack a democratic mandate he says, while half his cabinet were elected as Tories before defecting to Reform - do their constituencies not equally deserve a say Nigel? www.cityam.com/nigel-farage...

We have now gone from six prime ministers in ten years to seven - so roughly a new one every 18 months. This cycle won’t stop until we actually fix the fundamental issues that have been plaguing this country since at least the 1980s.

What do Andy Burnham, Boris Johnson and Brexit all have in common? Quite a lot, actually. They’re all attempts to solve the same underlying problem. The trouble is that Britain has spent forty years arguing about the treatment while largely ignoring the diagnosis.

Thanks,Governor Newsom......

One sign of a dying empire is having gladiator fights at the Capitol for the emperor's amusement.

We could really use Carl Sagan right about now… #books #reading #history #libraries

Nothing says “dying civilization” like gladiator fights at the capitol for the emperor’s amusement.

RFK Jr demanded the *retraction* of a 20 yr Danish study that showed aluminums in vaccines do not cause health issues. The journal REFUSED saying the study has been peer-reviewed and found to have no significant flaws. Imagine asking science to un-science itself.

I really don’t understand true greed. If I was worth $1 trillion, you’d have to physically stop me from solving as many of the world’s problems as possible. Everyone would have a home, food on the table, proper healthcare, happiness. I just don’t get it.

There is no word in the English language to adequately describe the anger and frustration and disbelief that Americans are feeling….

You used to be able to google the time of the sunset, and Google would give you the exact time right on top every single time. Thankfully, with artificial intelligence, you can now ask Google what time the sun will set and it will conveniently tell you "I don't know."
