23 and Me has a lot to answer for.

So many right-ish parties in the UK we are now here:

It's been a rough January, and I didn't think my opinion of humanity could sink any lower, but I made "overnight oats" for the first time last night, and I'm absolutely furious. What the fuck is wrong with you people?

Why do we keep listening to Niall Ferguson? Can we just ignore him?

I just watched the shooting video. It's a horrific beating and execution in the middle of the street. If local and state officials don't move to arrest everyone involved for murder, they need to resign. Making arrests will de-escalate the situation. Do nothing and this is going to explode.

I have to say in the various debates on young people's mental ill health that are going on currently it's shocking gaslighting that the pandemic barely features in the discussion despite the clearest of evidence imaginable.

Love a good hung syndication

Did he just mix up Bessent and Powell?

Iceland now

“Giant Mass of Land” <shakes fist at Mercator>

Holy moly we are telling a multi-lingual European audience that they’d all be speaking German. Dude.

Scotland and Germany this is on you.

Man’s declared war on windmills

Mate. T Rex is eating you either way.

For reasons the teens have (mostly) been in single sex education and it is fascinating to me that throughout the boys schools have majored on kindness/respect/psychological safety while the girls schools were basically the thunderdome (the girl is now in co-ed).

Americans: “What Europe needs to do is…” Europe: “…” A: “Well if you’d just…” E: “…”

Big thanks to @fohf.bsky.social for flagging Uber’s service for Seniors. My Dad booked and took an Uber (simplified app, charged to me) which I would have said was as plausible as his hacking into the Pentagon.

Ed Davey getting a bit punchy. Unexpected.

If I were the leader of a nation where a boat landing there hundreds of years ago is part of the founding lore, I would likely not imply that a boat “only” landing there invalidates another nation’s territorial claim.

Back once again with the renegade master..

you know this guy is a FOR REAL photographer because he's telling the story of his brutal, unconditional arrest by federal goons and can't help but slip in a gear review

Is there a horse?

1. I’m here for the range of hat options 2. The fact that photo 1 is not in strict height order is more irritating than it should be.

Markets are daft if they are still “wondering”..

Time stamp on this article to proof point must be something of a record.

So the opposition is Powell and the wine mums?

Reminder

Where have all these new people come from?

Just been described as a spitfire full of bulletholes. That’s the week done.

Use the choke on a cold day but make sure you don’t flood the engine.

Caligula is really worried about those files.

I am instructing my REPRESENTATIVE, this HORSE…

Turns out the well armed militia works *for* the government.

Blackadder Goes Forth.

If there were ever middle-aged Dad bait, this question is it.

Just had to argue with a teenager that minus 4 is definitely a temperature where wearing a coat to school is necessary.

Got my worst food poisoning ever in NY(campylobacter with a side order of influenza A)…

God forbid.

Sheetposter, surely.

Nobody is going to do anything about it.

It's a big day for those fluent in the good grammar of civility looking to deploy decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

Someone needs to tell him that stopping a war you started isn’t what the Nobel committee are looking for.

so my take here is ultimately, the power being sought is the ability to decide, at any time, whether you're one of the good ones or the one of the bad ones, and to enforce that you behave accordingly

It's grimly amusing to see actors who on a bunch of actors who usually scream "Chesterton's Fence!" about any law/societal change, talk themselves (and the rest of us) into making citizenship, the highest of all Fences, the equivalent of a revocable permit.

First near miss of 2026 - beware ungritted roads, kids.

Happy 2026 team x

I mean what’s the point, really? Are we just going to do this all over again?

Yesterday @bootsmcgoot.bsky.social and I saw some techbro giving “30 pieces of advice for people under 30” over on Twitter and it was all grind culture bullshit. As adults of 38 and 43 respectively, we compiled 30 pieces of advice that people under 30 won’t have heard before:

Protein and MMT? It’s like early 00s Twitter on here this morning.

Because I was irritated by sexist comments about women’s football/rugby..
