When two of my interests, climate change and bike racing, collide. Eventually, they’ll have to temporally shift the Tour de France, either a different season or to an earlier start time.

Our (too small but best we could afford) office (rented,in a council-owned building) has a massive, west-facing window with very small opening section which we aren’t allowed to leave open at night (insurance) so room never cools down. Makes it hard for staff / volunteers to work effectively.

Thank you for this clarification, Fox; I was worried it was still 1998

Proud to join the ranks of the ‘old-fashoned’.

Unironically, America needs a Honey Huan:

YOU LITERALLY JUST RIGGED THE MATCH AGAINST BELGIUM, YOU IMBECILE

As in 1066 England will prevail against the Norwegians before tragically losing to the French a couple of weeks later.

It's tragically appropriate that we spent a whole generation telling students that the humanities were moribund, and they should all study STEM, only for the greatest innovations in STEM to prove why the humanities were so essential all along.

« …comparing the bicentennial atmosphere with the backdrop to the 250th is “like night and day”. » Even as a child I was aware of the bicentennial being trailed & talked about as a proper celebration, a stark contrast with this year’s shenanigans. #USA250 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

La série du Monde sur les 250 ans des États-Unis est vraiment riche. Plein de points passionnants à discuter, des angles absents, certains points que je ne partage pas vraiment, mais c'est du très beau boulot de journalisme historique. www.lemonde.fr/internationa...

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

This TV programme is obviously very poorly titled.

I’m assuming that England have been training at altitude… #MexEng #worldcup

"AI is inevitable!! It's here to stay!! Can't put the genie back in the bottle!! You can't stop progress!!! But uhhhh... if we had to legally obtain the resources needed to run our business AND unless we make trillions in profits AND unless you give up your drinking water, we're kinda toast 🥺"

The idea that the computerised translation of words is in any way equivalent to the multifaceted skill of human language learning is so depressing: truly, we are enabling the rise of the machines.

Why Labour MPs are still on X

It's a retrofitted Boeing 747, so the US did, in fact, build it

"Buy gold, I may be PM soon" is quite a message, isn't it?

Padme meme; ‘so people are going to be allowed to work while they seek asylum, right?’

One of the most annoying features of the tabloids is the way they report their own opinions as news. So "We have decided to attack Bridget Phillipson as a class-warrior" becomes "Bridget Phillipson is in the centre of a new 'class-war' row". They're partisan attack dogs,pretending to be newspapers

Everyone is talking about Trump’s mock up arch at the Great American State Fair, so I filmed it from top to bottom and front to back for everyone who can’t see it in person.

‘It’s not right, it’s not fair’. > no, it’s not, it’s blatant discrimination and both FIFA and the US government are culpable. #worldcup #iran

WTAF? I have no idea what trauma that goal scorer has been through but whatever it is, that interviewer’s interrogation was unnecessarily aggressive. #SAFCAN #worldcup

😂 Nigel Farage complaining the WHO is “compromised by private funding” At last … a subject he has expertise in [not the WHO or scientific evidence, obvs]

The end of an era - After almost a century we said goodbye this morning to our great companion of the airwaves Radio 4 198 LW. I shall miss her warmth and crackle. Here’s the final sign off at the end of #theshippingforecast before she fell silent… ❤️

*victoria beckham voice* “Norway’s kit is better though.” #NorFra #worldcup2026

They’re right though 🤷‍♀️

So much this:

All the people who are saying it's too expensive to tackle climate change today are the same people who twenty years ago said that climate change wasn't really happening

Not ‘inevitably’, Amol. #R4today

Could have chosen a slightly better afternoon for my introductory weights session. 🥵

Burnham should say straight up: in 2024, the country elected a Labour Government and if I become Leader, that is what I will lead for the next three years. He should then spend the three years and the still-massive majority actually making positive change rather than wasting any more time. .

The #R5live commentators clearly haven’t paid much attention to the Portugal squad’s video demonstrating how to pronounce their names…. #PorUzb

Nice eyelashes do not a stalwart PM make.

Can confirm that no trouble is expected this evening in Belfast after Jeffrey Donaldson was found guilty of raping and sexually assaulting two children.
