Their target audience don't want these things for all, they want them just for themselves and could only enjoy them if others were denied the same thing.

The fact delivery robots - despite being small motor vehicles - aren't on the roads with all the other motor vehicles is inadvertently very revealing about the dangerous state of our roads

by pro-Israel activists, with the museum and its director subsequently misleading prominent critics.

The British Museum removed the terms “Palestine”, “Palestinian” and “Israelite occupation” from its displays in direct response to months of lobbying in 2024, a Middle East Eye investigation has found. Internal emails reveal changes resulted directly from complaints

Here is yet one more example. Miller's silhouette is similar to the first Palmolive bottle, whereas he would benefit from having more padding and extension, which would create the second Palmolive bottle.

The env. portfolio holder responded that the council has brought in £17 million in external climate funding since making its climate emergency declaration in 2021 And he shared an astonishing statistic: The cost to residents of West Norfolk Borough Council's climate policies is £3.38/household/yr

OK I might have misled you about the live-tweeting I'm not a journalist and it turns out I can't listen and post at the same time Details to follow but headline: Reform LOST!

Game changing secateurs. My wife says they're one of the best presents I've ever got her. I think this is a compliment.

PESTICIDE UPDATE 🚨: The Government has been found to have legally failed in protecting butterflies and the environment from toxic neonicotinoid pesticides

So let me have this straight. They are going to have the 80 year old President speak in 90 heat index at 10 pm for 45 minutes to an hour, then effectively gas the entire tidal basin (where said octogenarian has been speaking in the heat) with fumes from exploding ordinance? Did I get that right?

Pub opening hours for special occasions remain my go-to example for helping people understand the differences between primary and secondary legislation and how the two interact with each other. Which I appreciate is not very exciting.

Fair play to the picture editor.

Not now four black eggs surfacing from the dark heart of the ocean

It's like watching Prince William climb into the octagon and start laying waste to professional MMA fighters. Your brain simply refuses to accept what your eyes are seeing

Just spotted an interesting bit in the recent Rycroft review on foreign interference in UK politics He pointed to "adverse social media commentary about London" the state of "debate on Scottish independence" as examples Both issues saw a "visible diminution when the Iranian web went dark" recently

I have no data on the cause, but I do have anecdotes. I often receive reports from accountants telling me that they see widespread failure to pay tax by small businesses. Here’s a recent example (shared with the author’s kind permission):

It's hard to believe, but 45% of the corporation tax due from small businesses goes uncollected, against around 6% for mid-sized businesses and 4% for large ones:

But that's not all... Our Arctic terns are also thriving, with 730 active nests, 153 empty but active scrapes (shallow ponds), and 1,346 eggs recorded – and lots of chicks now hatching, with the oldest already over two weeks old. 📷 Rob Coleman, Steve Sayers

It's been a record-breaking year for little terns at Long Nanny, Northumberland! A minimum of 126 breeding pairs are nesting at the site this season, far surpassing the previous record of 57 breeding pairs in 1994. They're the UK’s second rarest breeding seabird so this is good news.

It’s burning.

The Pope's in town and he's keeping an eye out for schism.

Schools shouldn't be forced to have unfilled posts to be able to afford nationally agreed pay rises but staffing is the only place left in their budgets where they'll be able to find this money.

Everybody in the "climate space" (which means everyone on earth...) needs to understand these mind-blowing figures. Google's "total electricity consumption jumped from 31 terawatt hours (TWh) in 2024 to 43 TWh in 2025." In ONE year. The AI corporate arms race is eating the world.

July 2, 2019 The man in black with the sculpted goatee and pointy shoes at the Prestige Car Showroom was ignorant and rude and the man in the ear defenders who was delivering a bathtub across the estate on a homemade train pulled by his mobility scooter was all cheery hellos and smiles.

See also oral traditions, folk songs - none of these things were recorded on paper until 150-200 years ago and even then only in part. Family groups like the Coppers in Sussex maintain a living link to an almost lost folk history but the rest is gone. Electronic storage is the next lost tradition.

Half the links are now dead.

In 2005, the Million Dollar Homepage went up. People and companies could buy ad space by the pixel, linking to whatever. It became a chaotic, fractally detailed mural, a snapshot of the internet in a single image. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mil...
