Baikonur's only crew-capable pad busted after Soyuz flight

What a spectacular image!

I did not see that one coming... www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formul...

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

Missed this, but new Stargate! WOOO! www.aboutamazon.com/news/enterta...

Huh..

Rachel Reeves is hoping her tax increases and extra welfare spending will appease the Labour backbenchers without punishing middle-income earners. It's the riskiest gamble since someone bought a ticket for the third day of the next Ashes test

Been watching Clive James: Postcard from Rome on BBC4. They don't make TV like this anymore, sadly.

"Roxxxxxxxxxxxxxxanne!"

Words fail me... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Wow, Stephan Shemilt isn't pulling any punches here (and rightly so...). www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricke...

One day does not a Test Match or a series make... #theashes

What a day of cricket! But there is still a very long way to go! 🏏 www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricke...

When I - finally - went to bed last night, England were 115-5, when I got up this morning Australia were 31-4. What a turnaround! Lets hope the rest of the series is like this #theashes

In highly important news from history today, it’s the 80th anniversary of the 21st birthday of Christopher Tolkien, notable now for the wording (especially the small print) of the invitation to the party

A Black Series Kyle Katarn figure? Yes please! (And they'd better do a Jan Ors figure to go with it!)

To be honest - as someone who regularly drinks on my own - I cannot think of a more ghastly venue than a cocktail and karaoke bar, but this chap's arguments just don't stand up. Not admitting a single drinker because they might have a seizure? Come on... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi. I hired and worked with Jamal for a year. www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation...

From the Guardian, bit of a theme

Isn't that every manager/executive ever, though?

"It tasted like weak piss before, and it still does now", was the quote from one proud brewer. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Looks like we can add "sexing up" to the charges against the Beeb!

After a fraught afternoon's travel, I'm in one of my favourite pubs, with one of my favourite beers (The Hole in the Wall, Southsea, and Urban Island Mosaic). Been far too long since I was last here...

Microsoft's lack of quality control is out of control

Sorry to hear Quentin Wilson has died. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A new phrase seems to have entered Southern's lexicon for cancelling trains - "Congestion" I can only assume this means the driver has come down with the sniffles.

Good luck with the "local event for local people" schtick, there was a group on my train from Victoria this afternoon heading down especially for this. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Sincerely hope he makes it. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"No Sweat Place"? www.bbc.com/news/article...

It's petit, actually

A film you've seen more than 7 times with a GIF

Interesting Doctor Who moment in the pub tonight. The bartender did a dance that I likened to Matt Smith dancing at Amy and Rory's Wedding and the group of early twenty-somethings at the bar all started talking about their favourite episodes. Without exception, they were all 10 & 11, nothing later.

Looks like the BBC just ignored the negative reviews in this article. I'm not seeing any "Bollard in a wig" quotes! @dempster2000.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Saw Orion for the first time this autumn last night, no doubt because of the clock change last weekend. Always good to see it back in the night sky each year, it's like seeing an old friend again.

Wow! Well done India! I did not see that happening after Australia's innings! www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricke...

Minority representation on TV causes outrage From the new Private Eye, in shops now.

Sad to hear this; Nabil gave an extraordinary performance as Sil.

Yay. Priceless. The right column at the right time. And a gleefully English two fingers to the haters.

Tit in the pub complaining about a colleague who paid tax, rather than finding a way to hide it and keep the money. A few minutes later he was marvelling at the state of Moscow's underground stations, and how we don't have anything like that over here...
