Ffs.

Here in Cardiff earlier, we had 15 minutes of proper rain. It was delicious. I've missed it so much. Shame it couldn't have been longer. I think it was hyperlocal - mate in Llandaff didn't have any.

Interesting.

Direct foreign interference in British politics - we have rules against foreign governments funding parliamentary groups, but this is fine?? Seriously?? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I'm playing an old game called Oddworld on my steam deck and it's soooo hard.

I'm old enough to remember when the entire British right had a month long meltdown about "foreign interference" when Obama said something mildly disobliging about Brexit. The Trump administration pouring millions of dollars into far right political groups in the UK? Not a peep

She means this as advice

The Mexican stall in Cardiff Market does a mean taco. Very nice.

Another big upcoming by-election that Reform were widely predicted to win now looks like an easy victory for Labour

Whoopsie daisy. 🤣😂🤣😂

Still haven’t forgiven him for what he did to Thomas Cromwell.

Just going to award the Billy big bollocks award to all the idiots (badenoch, truss) railing against net zero during the most obviously fucked up weather event I've seen my whole long lifetime. Last year was not much better either.

I have to say, these brazen morons on the anti-net zero bandwagon during a record breaking heatwave is really something else.

Wait! Did the Scarlets beat the All Blacks? They never mention it. Cough.

Neither of the teams going to the finals could beat Cape Verde in regulation time. 😄

OH FOR GODS SAKE

I guess the Welsh don't get a bank holiday then. Ok

There are guys dressed as Knights Templar looking embarrassed. Weird.

I actually really fancy Nolan's Odyssey.

Mick Jagger, there. Of course, when England last won the World Cup in 1966, he was a spritely 50 year old. Back to you, Chappers.

Kind of dirty this game. Both sides.

Commentator just said "argie-bargie"

Football is essentially a game where all the players are like "no thanks, I don't really want the ball".

Film reviewer is a weird gig innit. Somehow you are meant to rate the live action adaptation of Moana and the multi-award winning director making a film based on one of western civilisation’s foundational myths *on the same scale*.

They thought, these bones and artifacts are amazing! They’re from a man! Nope. Woman shaman. #science www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Farage literally cheered on the riots in Belfast, and now is accusing others of violent language.

There's this (ostensibly dull but actually rather nice) soup that my favourite Chinese does with pork bone stock, Chinese leaf, tofu and a little ham I thought I'd try to recreate today. I could only get beef bones and so it ended up being quite different but actually really nice.

No, I don’t think the murder of Ann Widdecombe did start with a t shirt about not kissing a Tory you ludicrous cunt

NO ONE LIKES CARRIAGE CLOCKS. NO ONE.

HOLY SHIT. I agree with Badenoch. A Nigel Farage/ Count Binface telly debate would be the cat's pyjamas.

After Zia Yusuf accuses critics of endangering Reform politicians with violent language, he is read a list of quotes where he called Reform's opponents "lunatics who deserve extinction", "sick arsonists" and "traitors" who will face a "reckoning". He says these are in "a totally different category"

Reform UK's Zia Yusuf is currently delivering a speech accusing his party's critics of using language that will put his colleagues' lives at risk. In other news, here's Zia Yusuf two months ago

Really wordle? Really?

52% you say? That's technically an"overwhelming majority"as I recall.

Public thinks Nigel Farage battling with Count Binface to avoid scrutiny, poll finds t.co/aRNeB3JAY7

for the next hydration break france have chosen a 2003 sancerre, let's see if that helps

You can see why all the other important artists thought he was a prick can't you?

At the Moulin Rouge, The Dance, by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, 1890

And to think they try to claim that English isn't a tonal language.

I think that it's nice that we don't die or spend all day on a toilet from eating salad in the UK or EU. Ymmv.

If that giant glowing finger came down to me and said "it could be you" and then I spent real cash money on a lottery ticket and didn't win, I would simply hunt it down and I dunno, maybe make it pay me back.

There was a time in this country where we didn't talk about macaroni cheese (mac n cheese - ugh) all the time. It was something you made when you couldn't be arsed to make anything more complicated and you only had pasta, milk, flour and cheese and couldn't be bothered to go shopping. I miss that.

She looks ace.

£10bn wasted. A 'VIP lane' for well-connected firms. The Covid inquiry's verdict on the Johnson government is in. They "undermined public trust when the country needed it most". https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/jul/14/boris-johnson-government-wasted-vast-sums-on-ppe-covid-inquiry-finds

Literally when the world is burning. What a genius.

Starmer really was brilliant on Ukraine. Holding the line and providing solidarity and practical solutions when America fell away.

So sweet to hear Michael Gove boasting on radio about PPE contracts on his watch. Not corruption or cronyism he said. The loss of £10bn was all down to his total incompetence

Donald Trump has paid writer E Jean Carroll more than $5m (£3.7m) in damages three years after he was found liable for sexually abusing and defaming her in a civil case

The so called defenders of free speech threatens jail to anyone using their language on election leaflets. bylinetimes.com/2026/07/13/r...

You can always trust Gabriel Pogrund with a robust investigation. This is enraging.
