Suggest the BBC just sends a letter saying they left the £1.2m with a neighbour

Ha, yes there's a lot of this around. And I know a few people who got tempted into jobs for the puppy killing factories, have had their soul destroyed, but now can't leave because they can't take the pay drop that comes with a real job that doesn't eat their soul

More of this please

Hurray! They'll surely settle though, as they won't want a precedent set, and most social media users cant sue

Because he causes the economic chaos that leads people to switch their investments into gold in a flight to safety. They want to ensure he has enough money to keep screwing everything up!

The statements owhich the 22nd century writes about the late 20th and early 21st is going to be “many people didn’t believe it was happening until it was too late. And a lot of others knew it was true, but just didn’t want to change their lives to save their children.”

Even more impressive when you consider how many more journey hours happen in dusk or dark, and with icy conditions. An example to follow.

Went to the pick your own farm this morning, returning with a bounty of strawberries, courgettes, strawberries, aubergines, strawberries, tomatoes, strawberries, peppers, strawberries, and herbs. Feasted this evening on ratatouille with pistou and chunky bread — and then, of course, strawberries.

Case and Frost are both very clear evidence that something has gone very badly wrong with the Civil Service. Neither should have been promoted to the levels they were.

This is very good and matches where I am on the Aircon/heat pump debate.

Our local town council is really working to make the centre more people focused. In summer cars aren't allowed from noon 'til midnight. Parking spaces have been turned into parks, and a free shuttle bus runs from park and rides. And this year.... free electric tuk-tuks! actu.fr/pays-de-la-l...

Wow. For the French, this is the very highest level of alert

Oh.

The heatwave has broken ! (for us here on the coast at least) Down to 30 degrees now, with a really lovely breeze. All the windows open, and letting it blow right through the house. Forecast to be a much more sleepable 24 overnight. Hurray!

“What doth it profit a man if he should own the Libs yet lose his health care coverage?”

As per @wired.com's policy, we've made this article free for all to read because it is primarily based on reporting from public records requests

Randomly wondering why some others aren't discussed as potential labour leaders in UK... Yvette Cooper, Sadiq Khan etc

This is now for voice actors, the future for in-vision actors - and possibly other creatives too. Perform once, have your talent scraped — and then reproduced without adequate payment, to make other people money forever.

10pm here and the temperature has only dropped to 32 degrees. The LOW tonight is forecast to be 26 at 5am just before sunrise! Good luck everyone and here's hoping we all manage a bit of kip 😁

It was inevitable, wasn't it🙄 Of course the Telegraph would run with something like this👇 So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage 🧵1/23

I'm late to it, but enjoying watching Ted Lasso. There's an annoying habit, though, of key plot points or jokes being in texts or emails. They just show a shot of a phone for a moment, but I'm watching on my own phone, and can't read it! Surely watching on phone is pretty normal for TV these days?

I suspect there are some awfully big lawsuits on the horizon for the big generative AI companies... and some awfully big settlements soon after

I use AI - but would choose to drop it in a heartbeat if this is the choice... And this is the pro-AI spin on it!

I'm marking this Brexit day by sitting in my home in France, making an appointment to pick up my permanent residence card which was granted to me yesterday. Farage, Johnson, May and co tried to take me out of Europe, and I wouldn't have it. Packed the car and moved. Very happy with that decision.

Wow, the CBI still exists ?! And it's still as wrong as ever ?

Oh FFS

The spay who came in from the cold

Rare red warning. Risk to life. Stay out of the sun. Avoid unnecessary exposure. Picture editor: "Counterpoint: Run the fun-on-the-beach shots?" We won't improve heat coverage until we stop illustrating public health emergencies with beach photos. www.independent.co.uk/weather/heat...

I see people are writing Burnham's political obituary already. It's almost as if they want this cycle of chaos. Personally I want progress and a functioning country and really have had my fill of shitweaselery

Trying to be mature by not renewing all my unused 'side project idea' domains and letting them drift away across the sea of registrars

But, given her track record, he can get away with a long delay to that timetable

Shall never vanquished be, until great Burnham would to smite dunce Kenyon-trill Shall come against him

Fantastic to see Jon Snow's ties have been put to good use since his retirement

This is interesting — the EU is working on a pan-Europe company structure with simplified admin, and clarity on legislation & tax across all member states. This will be hugely attractive to international companies — but also incredibly valuable for startups. commission.europa.eu/topics/busin...

This is terrible. My proudest moment at the BBC was not producing a lead item for the Nine O'Clock News, but producing a lead item for The World Tonight. It is a pinnacle of calm, incisive, authoritative journalism. It is exactly what the BBC needs more of. www.theguardian.com/media/2026/j...

One thing I learned when I was just out of college and watching 6-8 hours of Fox News a day for my research job at Media Matters: Ingesting hours of propaganda on a daily basis changes you, no matter how smart you think you are. If you don't notice the changes, that just makes you an easier mark.

iOS is absolutely full of features that most people don't know about. I only found out about this today, but it's existed for a few years! Very handy for working while one's chauffeur drives 😜 support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/...

It's 2076 and, after continuing annual cuts, there are three people left at the BBC. The DG, a far right board member nobody dares get rid of, and some poor sod who has to produce and present all the news, anchor CBBC, and star in Eastenders.

In five years, the SpaceX flotation will be cited as the ground zero in documentaries about 'the great crash of 2027'

Real name requirement policies are a scourge, and I say that very much with my cybersecurity professional hat on They do not solve the problems people think they do, but they do create new ones

This. Or introduce a limbo pole a few metres away from each net.

Looking for a new beard oil... but don't fancy my chances of getting this one through airport security

French intelligence will move away from Palantir, citing the strategic risks Trump's US now presents. The PM referenced Trump blocking Claude Fable and said France must "not depend on the goodwill of certain partners, who are capable of turning off the access tap." www.france24.com/en/live-news...

The government could either show courage & commitment and use the powers it has to make US social media companies clean up their act or it could waste everyone’s time with a pointless “ban” on social media for kids which will achieve nothing. You can understand why Starmer will choose the latter.

Is that a salute or is he in a cheap commercial for headache relief tablets?

So sorry to hear of the demise of The Phoenix Magazine Here's one of a fair few of my #cartoons they published. #taxtherich
