Oh no. Anyway. www.ft.com/content/697d...

Again, I point out that the landscape I grew up in was absolutely ravaged by the side effects of fossil fuel extraction so my sympathy for these people whining about how they might see a solar array is pretty limited

Update: got a marathon PB despite stopping for a coffee at one point. No pics of me because I was involuntarily sobbing for parts of that race.

It’s right about now that I realised I have made a colossal error of judgment.

I have to agree with Janna that this is somehow worse than Jive Bunny #totp

No1 IN ESSEX #totp

Did Simon Fuller ever manage a band that could like properly sing? #totp

Turns out Altman is as bad at financials as he is at cooking.

RIP Chuck Norris.

Gd he’s such a cunt.

Yes I probably do need to go to bed, you’re right

Would be really good if there was some online tracker of number of cancelled flights per day, as that would be a pretty good tracker of how bad the oil crisis is.

The most "this fucking guy" lean back

If you want to see how bad it can get in the West, look in Asia-Pacific now. www.ft.com/content/205b...

At least McNamara had some kind of metric. Vibes to win is definitely a new one.

The (from a distance) is one of the best put-downs the FT has done this week.

"George Soros funded the Euromaidan" Very good if true. "George Soros is funding the Hungarian opposition" God I hope so. "George Soros invested tons of money into ending the career of Benjamin Netanyahu" Fucking ideal.

Reminder that the guys who classify logistics manager as a “bullshit job” are absolute divvis.

It's like that 4chan meetup pic from fifteen years ago where every person you look at in in the pic looks slightly weirder than the last one you looked at.

The words “Britpop Demon Hunters” appeared in my head and I’m feeling queasy

Hope, you might have to sit down when I tell you this,

Oh my gd

I still maintain Philly did nothing wrong with Hitchbot.

Just had someone try and sell me a bottle of wine at £465 plus tax plus storage until ready. Someone really doesn’t know their target audience.

The formatting of this Beckett quote does still represent resilience and determination, just of a very different sort.

Lads.. #speirgorm

Enjoying re-watching Simon Schama’s 15-part A History of Britain, now 25 years old. It’s an intelligent, uncluttered account. Schama has a witty and incisive delivery, and manages to avoid - mainly by keeping them resolutely in his pockets - waving his hands around in the usual irritating fashion.

Isn’t this the guy who eats McDonalds all the time? These people are really fucking weird.

Assume this means 6 weeks, it takes another 6 weeks to hit full oil production and shipping again. So continue rises in oil prices until June, with secondary rises following downstream the supply chain. And this is an optimistic scenario.

There’s petty and then there’s ✨opera petty✨ 😂

Had a very pleasant duck followed by crepe suzette. May have been alcohol involved too.

Even Van Aert had joined in the piss-taking on Instagram.

Inside the Department of War are two wolves: "We've shut down the Colleges of War because book learnings are woke, gay, and irrelevant to war fighting." "How come no one told us the Strait is important, there are different kinds of Kurds, Iran is big, and air power historically doesn't win wars?"

Is it ok to drink free champagne at 5AM? Asking for a friend.

I realise we’re all dubious about LLMs here, but they’ve got to a point where not only could they accurately diagnose a breed of cattle, but they also worked out where the pic was taken.

X will damage you. Get off, friends. It’s genuinely an evil place.

Genuinely think Welsh Fire could win the Hundred this year based on some of their auction buys.

Watching Heart Of Stone on Netflix and it makes me wish for the complex character arcs and coherent plots of The Fast And The Furious films.

Maybe we could get a squirrel that looks a bit like Churchill?

I go away for a day to watch the cricket and suddenly everyone on here is talking about Jesus. Is there some exciting new information about him?

Paris marathon requires you to have your own cup and use it to refill at water stations, which is what trail and ultras have done for years. Road runners are taking it well.

Not even hiding it.

They're not stupid (in this). They're not being duped. Occam's Razor says they're being bribed by Russia.

We for one are reminded of this classic

LEGO sets you can hear

Everyone I work with in the UK - from the managers to the shop floor workers - hates Trump. Tory, Labour, Unionist, whatever. I have no idea why Reform and the Tories are so in on castigating Starmer for not sucking up.
