Everyone's comparing 2026 to the heatwave of 1976. I missed it completely by spending the whole bloody time on the Cote d'Azur What an idiot

In this hot weather, it's probably worth changing your computer's power/performance ratio to something like "Best power efficiency" (windows) Not a massive difference overall, but will improve your immediate environment as the fan blowing out hot air should stop

"Fewer than a quarter of voters in Europe now back far-right parties" Or "More than three quarters of voters in Europe reject far-right parties"

I mean, remember when we were all supposed to buy 3D TVs

Save the date - we’re launching an audio sitcom - the world’s first sitcom by and for autistic people. It’s called It’s a Superpower?? A proper announcement is coming this week but the Patreon Live launch & full-season drop for $10 backers & over will be onnnn *quiet drum roll* Sunday 26th July

4ft too long, that's what he could have fixed

Surely that's - drowned "trying" to escape the heatwave?

Perfect opening sentence to a Ray Bradbury short story.

...and sorry remainers, Brexit is a symptom of political problems, not their cause...

Clearly a threat to humanity then, this is insane

I really need people to understand that Palantir is not an engineering marvel; it is a multi-billion-dollar contractual containment layer wrapped around the world's ugliest legacy open source frankenstack. It's a shitty Snowflake for companies that don't know how to do data engineering.

Elvis on BBC Four is a real treat #bbc4

Don't want to be picky or anything, and I really don't know, but isn't the Pope a citizen of Vatican City by nature of his calling/job I'm genuinely interested in the answer

Watching the World Cup pundits and I'm surprised how many of them are single Hardly a wedding ring between them

Last image from tonight (short film in the morning): this brother out here with his Singer sewing machine, gifting people a custom embroidery on their jerseys and hats with the name and the date, was more artistic than anything at Burning Man and ad gorgeous as a Caravaggio. Magic! Goodnight.

Hats off to ITV who have managed to find an English actor who's never been to an England match to interview

Mamdani on the viral "my mayor's Muslim" Knicks fan: "Thanks to him, there are a lot of people who have just been running up to me over the last few weeks just shouting, 'My Mayor's Muslim!' I said, 'It's true. I am.'"

Did some shopping for someone else, and OMFG Gaviscon is soooo expensive Also, very relieved to have good digestion

This means the end of the index tracker imho Index trackers were built to reduce risk on the basis that the index performs more predictably/risk free'ish than individual stock picks When so much of the index is now (and more so after SpaceX) it's now a risk play not a boring index tracker

I know loads of people who moan about driving in London and when you ask why they didn't take the train they look at you like you're insane.

Shocking quite how much "spiralling" costs nowadays, I remember when you could could get some decent spiralling for less than a fiver

...for banks

true story: some Brit wealth managers, clients of whom are rich Brits, told me they keep getting calls saying 'help! i just read in [a newspaper that's not the FT] that we're about to default on our gilts and go to the IMF! what should I do?' and they say 'er, read another newspaper?'

"Hey ChatGPT what should I do if I've raised a ton of money and still don't have a realistic revenue model?"

Who owns all the programming IP if we all become dependent on solutions like Claude Code or Copilot? The US gov and the tech billionaires if the latest Trump deal goes through. We have the workforce and skills right now to throw away LLMs tomorrow. But will we in future? What about the next gen?

Great video. Please share.

Debbie Harry effortlessly carries off that look that suggests she doesn't know how gorgeous she is
