Not 100%. I once drove from North Holland to the channel tunnel without stopping. Also drove from St Albans to St Andrews, stopping only for petrol. Think St to St probably longer?

London local election news that will appeal to the demographics of Bluesky: the writer of Ebeneezer Goode is trying to stand for the Greens in Camden. open.substack.com/pub/newjourn...

Only a couple of movies this weekend just gone - Scream 7 (not bad for the 7th film in a franchise, the real horror is the work Courtney Cox has had done) and The Descent, just about keeps it's tag as a 21st century great IMHO.

At this point I don't wonder how much insider trading is going on. I wonder how much policy is being made with the purpose of insider trading on it.

Q: and are Iran here with us now, on the tarmac Mr President? Can you point to them?

Looking forward to ICE ending these long lines at TSA checkpoints the only way they know how -- dispersing tear gas and savagely assaulting anyone who's left

every single financial institution would benefit from hiring exactly one (1) progressive to walk around the office all day long going “are you fucking stupid?” to anyone within ear shot

Pigeon milk.

FYI - the FinTwitter account is still sourcing posts from FirstSquawk, a mumbai-based X account that definitely regularly makes up news If you rely on it because it's sometimes right, you'll end up ingesting some volume of bullshit, too

Trains can pretty much drive themselves but we always have a driver onboard. Can't believe we're willing to let "robotaxis" out on the roads unsupervised.

Having, as I say, just spent £100 filling a car, I am baffled by the idea that this crisis shows it would be *dangerous* for me to have solar panels and an electric car.

With Myrient going off line at the end of the month, are there any obscure older systems I should look at grabbing? Have SNES, MD, FBneo, NGPC,GB,Lynx, Saturn, PSX, PSP, Vita, NeoGeo etc.

The latest White House thinking on the Strait of Hormuz.

The Game Boy Advance (2001) is now as old as the Fairchild Channel F (1976) was when the Game Boy Advance was released.

I'm seeing a lot of these fake Donald Trump truths being posted on BlueSky (and lesser sites) at the moment. Its pretty easy to check, and you owe it to yourself and other people before sharing it.

Dad died late last year. His passport revealed that he made several trips to Thailand, telling my Mum that he was staying with his brother in Ireland. I also found a shit load of viagara in his shed. Haven't told anyone, yet.

Too many people are too polite to say this. But holding mass rituals in public places is an act of domination. The druids are taking over.

We had new blinds fitted and the guy that did them seemed kind of awkward and in a hurry to get out. My wife told me later he was someone she'd shagged a few times behind his wife's back many years ago. Is it wrong I was annoyed he didn't offer us mates rates on the blinds?

We're sure there are a few tears of frustration being shed stateside...

In cases you were wondering . . . this is a photo that annoyed Pete Hegseth so much because he thought it was "unflattering" so he got the photographer barred. I encourage all of you to use it as often as possible.

The government has an obligation to alleviate poverty, which is inextricably linked to shoplifting.

She'd push over an elderly lady whose pension doesn't stretch far enough in a heartbeat.

Literally the only party leader talking any kind of sense on this. To disagree with this is nothing less than suicidal apocalypticism.

Feel like these two tweets sum up where we are right now

Keir Starmer looking like he wants to fight people (a limited series)

Ofcom are now taking 3 months to review and consider the hamster.

I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor, Arctic Monkeys. Awful awful song by a terrible band. They're anti music and I can't help but think a little less of anyone who likes them to be honest.

Waffles hath a goode tyme

That would put solar panels on half of the eligible properties in the UK. Maybe with a spend of that magnitude you could get a bulk discount and do the lot. (Cost per office of national statistics)

Checking in on the finance bros.

When I expect resistance from coworkers, I make deliberate errors like misattributing the "great power / great responsibility" line to Superman instead of Spiderman. People focus on correcting that when I circulate the draft, leaving the main proposal alone.

Happy Sheelah's Day. This feast, largely no longer celebrated in Ireland, commemorates either St Patrick's wife or mother, who probably didn't exist. So let's celebrate a similarly-named mysterious figure today instead: the sheela na gig!

>>> [Oman believed] that Witkoff and Kushner, either knowingly or through ignorance, were not feeding Trump the truth about the progress in the talks. [Attempts to brief Trump directly] deteriorated when the president switched the conversation to one of his favourite topics: shoes. <<<

Just so happens to be Kurt Russell's 75th birthday.

Watch them pass this hot potato Reporter: How do you respond to attacks on the U.S. embassy in Baghdad? Trump [to Vance]: You—you want to answer that? Vance [shifts nervously]: Yeah—yeah. Marco, as Secretary of State, obviously has control over the embassy. Marco: [melts into couch]

I was in Luton for a platelet donation on Saturday. They had an Irish festival on and honestly, I've never seen such an ethnically diverse crowd at a celebration in my life. I could count the number of gingers on one hand.

⚡️Former US general got drunk in Kyiv, suffered concussion, left classified maps on train, watchdog finds.

1. A few months before it started a war in Iran, the Trump administration decommissioned the last of its four mine countermeasure ships. These ships were “capable of finding, classifying and destroying moored and bottom mines.” Now the Strait of Hormuz is closed.
