Discworld QOTD, from Witches Abroad "It’s a strange thing about determined seekers-after-wisdom that, no matter where they happen to be, they’ll always seek that wisdom which is a long way off. Wisdom is one of the few things that look bigger the further away it is."

Brazil revoked a plan to privatize parts of the Tapajós, Madeira and Tocantins after Indigenous protests. Following a 33-day blockade of Cargill’s Santarém port, the government scrapped the grain export initiative.

Labour MP Clive Lewis doesn’t hold back on the Gorton and Denton result in this interview with ITV

I called this earlier. Told ya...

My position on this visual noise is it needs to go; and I include the constant flipping of ads on the Elizabeth Line escalators. Busy places overload the senses as it is, and as I get older, I am finding it harder to cope with it all. We need public transport interchanges to be as calm as possible.

Yeah boyee!!! These 🔥🔥🔥

Love it Keir, definitely do more of this boss. Also, probably update your CV bruv, just in case.

400 jobs cut at Manchester United: "savings" of £7.4m. Potential cost of the sacking of Ruben Amorim and his staff: £15.9m.

Noble Piss Prize

The sailors on the USS Gerald Ford who keep stuffing their t-shirts into the toilets so the bathrooms flood and the carrier can’t deploy to Iran should be awarded a collective Nobel Peace Prize

As a public service, I thought I'd offer a little constructive criticism of the most popular styles of bike racks, since it appears that the entities that manufacture and install these racks are clueless about the needs of actual bike riders.

Danmark er det første land, der har elimineret mor-til-barn-smitte med hiv og syfilis, bekræftet af WHO. Dette skyldes en omfattende indsats med screening af gravide og hurtig behandling, en stor folkesundhedsmæssig præstation.

The first one was generated with this beauty yesterday: stirring-fox-7e1fab.netlify.app The second one is real. Close enough 🤣👌

Twat dooming Reform? (4,7)

Fielded a terf, received the "worst result for the conservatives in by-election history"

In which people CHOOSE TO VOTE for a female plumber representing a party with broadly liberal values and an unelected life peer declares it to be the end of liberal democracy.

Charlotte Cadden being a terf is the icing on this big Green cake. Is there a word for this? #CaddenFreude #TervenFreude

I’ve been saying the political and media class don’t think about people of colour as actual voters and think there’s about 1000 of us here fresh off the Windrush. Instead of 10 million people. You can’t afford to piss us off for your Reform voter baiting. Next: the London local elections in May.

Despite being continually accused of not integrating, Muslims have voted in numbers, and against a party with a Muslim Home Sec whose immigration policies and actions regarding Gaza they strongly opposed.Instead they found common value with a white British woman who spoke to them locally and beyond.

And despite being told they’re anti semitic and homophobic they voted for a party led by a gay, Jewish man. This is significant.

Arseblog is now so old that Leonardo Di Caprio wouldn’t be interested in it! Some innings! Congratulations!

When I was 7, my teacher told us to write an article about “world cultures” for school over the weekend. I remembered it late on Sunday so in a panic I made up something called the "Icelandic Fish Festival", figuring said teacher wouldn’t know either way.

The process that led to the Holocaust didn't start with killing people. First it made them non-people. Then it killed them.

BREAKING: Sharp's Brewery in Cornwall, maker of UK's best-selling Cask ale, Doom Bar, to close, 50 jobs lost. US-Canadian owner Molson Coors, say it's financially unsustainable. Meanwhile MC investing heavily in relaunch of Carling Black Label. Fate of Burton brewed bottled version unknown #BskyBeer

This feels mainly like a "bash the UCI" article, when it appears they've done something sensible. And for all the manufacturers whining that it depends on rim shape* as well, it's impossible for the UCI to develop a stability standard they could use to check wheels

Shall we play a game?

Let’s see how far a man walking into a mosque with an axe in Manchester last night is down the BBC News page

The new Velogames Fantasy Cycling Sixes: Classics Edition 2026 (formerly known as Veogames Superclasico Fantasy Sixes) went live for entries a bit earlier this evening! The 44-race season will begin at Omloop Nieuwsblad on Saturday morning. (1/5)

Now Imagine if VAR took nine days..... 😱

This is class. I will try it.

We clearly need income proportional fines, that's literally about 45 minutes work for him - on his base salary, assuming he is paid by the hour 24/7 (assumed weekly salary 120k) In proportion, a UK median wage fine would have been around £4.50, less than a Boots meal deal

All that free Faxe Kondi PR Mads P did and then hey go and sponsor the team of Danish rival Magnus Kort 😅

a mundane curse #comic

at last, we have invented retrophenology from the classic Discworld text Don’t Invent Retrophenology

I really appreciate this TikToker with Tourette syndrome, Shay, for taking the time to educate so many of us (including me) about her disability and coprolalia in light of what happened at the BAFTAs with John Davidson when Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage. I learned a lot.

Every single person in the UK will think this is something else for a split second

AHHHHHHHHHHHH 🌿🪶 (This is telephoto lens + harsh crop to maintain a respectful distance!)

You know when someone told you an outright lie when you were younger and you didn't question it because it had no impact on your life and then years later you asserted it as a fact and were utterly humiliated by the lads? Well, turns out massages weren't invented by a guy called Pierre Massage.

I have told my kids that JRR Tolkein is called Jolkein Rolkein Rolkein Tolkein

One of the greatest bollard walks in history. #WorldBollardAssociation

And which game do we play next week, and the week after that? Tottenham, boss.
