This episode of SNL was not as good as the last two which is a shame as I showed it to someone who'd not seen it before tonight

A relic of the not too distant past when it was considered inconsiderate to play music so loudly it leaked out of your headphones. Now a small minority of people literally play music *out loud*. A very real shift.

right now the astronauts are calling houston because the computer on the spaceship is running two instances of microsoft outlook and they can't figure out why. nasa is about to remote into the computer

Anyone supporting the Lib Dem calls for fuel duty cuts seriously needs to stop and think

Tried Irn Bru for the first time last night thanks to @butwhosjan.bsky.social. Would drink again!

Can't for the life of me figure out why they released Le Petit écolier biscuits in the UK as Le Petit Chocolat (aka "the small chocolate") rather than just using a direct English translation of The Small Schoolboy 🤔

Fuel duty is *already* 34p per litre lower, in real terms, than in 2010 Its been frozen or cut for 15 years Its cost the Treasury over £200bn in tax - and hugely incentivised people to keep using ICE cars and driving. It's favoured the richest If anything we should be restoring it to 2010 levels

Need a switch 2 I fear...

Despite calling climate change an "existential threat" on their website, the Lib Dems have just called for a 10p cut to fuel duty (so nearly 19% cut to duty on a litre of fuel). They also called for 10% cut to rail fares. www.libdems.org.uk/news/article...

Swear UK supermarkets are in a race to see who can make the shopping experience the shittest. Big shop? Use that tiny self checkout. Want to leave? Scan the receipt you forgot and we might let you out. And the soundtrack to it all: constant alarms.

this is stuck in my head

A very emotional inquest to attend and a reminder that road violence has real consequences. I feel absolutely terrible for the Di Palma family. It is clear Lisa's death has had a profound impact on the entire community. www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

Strikes me as an absurd threat, either we need the 4000 new training places or we don’t

A great time to do more than 270 projects on Britain's railways then, including closing the West Coast Main Line between Euston and Milton Keynes. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Yet another M&S moving out of a high street and into a retail park. So backwards. www.maidenhead-advertiser.co.uk/gallery/busi...

Local officials (pictured inside the article) love to celebrate making it harder for public transport users to get around www.grimsbytelegraph.co.uk/news/grimsby...

This needs to be outlawed www.theverge.com/tech/896490/...

"Gee had 39 previous sets of convictions for 113 offences" Why do we put up with having to share the streets with these dangerous thugs? Do the magistrates actually believe they 'won't be seeing him again' after suspending the sentence? www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater...

Everything I hear about Australia makes it sound like everyone who is in charge there is incredibly dull

Are there any free-fall (not pins on strings) bowling alleys left in London or anywhere in the UK? www.thetimes.com/uk/article/b...

The way bouncers and supermarket staff seem ready to hand me a senior discount when they see the 19 at the beginning of my birth year 👴

Even in a comedy safety film train companies can't stop banging on about having a 'valid ticket for travel' (who speaks like this except the rail industry?) Maybe fewer people would run if we ditched Advance tickets that only let you get on a specific train www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Xpt...

Phwoar - balcony solar AND an awning to keep the hot sun out from the living space? Is this heaven?! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"In financial terms the Council will receive a significant annual concession payment from the new operator, enabling the Council to deliver value and resilience for taxpayers in a challenging time." So, pay up or councils will target your bikes for seizure on the street (or imply they will)

Utterly disgusting www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The parcel upgrade has defo left the next collection bit useless right?

In a free checkup, an East London bike shop has marked my bike tyres and tubes, both of which I replaced with new within the last two weeks, as having "slight wear". They want over £240 to fix various problems they've identified. I've said no thanks. Anyone got any recommendations for other shops?

Why are there so many people in local government who appear to be absolutely off their trolley?

Did this article earlier this week - and of course asked SWNS photographer Tony Kershaw to get a photo of me in front of the tree. You decide who posed better: me, or the content creators? metro.co.uk/2026/03/19/l...

Will London's councils be able to pick and choose which autonomous car company they want in their area, like they're currently doing with Lime bikes/Forest/Voi? www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

An entirely predictable consequence, but assumedly the government doesn't really care. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Why is the way finding at Barking Station so utterly diabolical? Signage is so bad.

This guy is allowed to pay the difference, and yet I've met so many (and witnessed it!) who end up with a fine or even criminal prosecution for the same thing www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

"Five new meningitis cases found in Kent as health secretary says risk of disease spreading widely is low" www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cp... It's giving this

Imagine putting another minority into the title here. Vile vile vile vile www.wired.com/story/inside...

Get violently mugged in London and the police will close the case the next day. Utterly disgusting. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The MenB vaccine I got from Dean Street clinic does not appear on my NHS app - presumably because for some reason sexual health services are managed by local councils under the law rather than the NHS. Does seem a bit of an oversight if you want a full picture of your health record though...

One of the major problems with Lime is that they have had a lot of success at growing their business in the UK. This scares politicians here, of course, who are eager to correct this.

Under two weeks until 7.30pm sunset in London let's goooo

Checked this morning. You can currently book a week’s holiday (including flights) over the Easter school holidays in Dubai for materially less than I am paying for a trip to Center Parcs.

If you are a man who has sex with men, you may be eligible for the meningitis B vaccine on the NHS www.nhs.uk/vaccinations...

I find it really interesting that local councils can just threaten to disproportionately target one dockless bike scheme's bikes for removal for obstruction etc if they decide they'd rather another operator be in their area, despite schemes being entirely legal. Definitely not open to abuse.

All the lights are out at this junction so obviously drivers are all slowing down and they definitely did *not* beep at the Lime cyclist who slowed down to check it was safe to proceed (just kidding)

Cycling side-by-side isn’t bad behaviour—it’s human behaviour. It’s how parents talk to their kids. How friends catch up. How communities form. If bicycle infrastructure is too narrow for people to ride and talk together, the problem isn’t the people. It’s the infrastructure. Nørrebro, Copenhagen.
