Gee, I wonder who the insider source for this story was. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/07/u...

The way the government should step in is to reverse the Supreme Court misjudgement, which it keeps implying it is bound by, but which it could easily undo at any time.

theyre using run-rate revenue and this does not say good things about actual revenue

How should you participate in a society in which the 'health' system systematically harms your health, the 'human rights' commission removes your human rights, the 'justice' system refuses even to hear you and the 'independent' State broadcaster broadcasts lies about you? A non-rhetorical question.

That umpire doesn't want to be fucking challenged. What a fucking joke

In no uncertain terms, it is and likely will always be Bradford

Watching an early April 2026 Twins v Rays game in Minnesota seems like the most depressing baseball game imaginable

This camera is fucking horrible. It's so motion sickness inducing

Fundamentally Labour went into the last election with a manifesto containing incompatible pledges. So the question was “will they abandon their tax pledges to meet their public service improvement pledges or vice versa?” Kinda fun that their answer has been “how about we abandon both?”

I simply do not believe that voters are incapable of understanding “1/6th of the worlds oil supply is blocked, we must use less of it” and if you do genuinely do believe that I don’t know what’s the point of engaging in politics

I've said it before, but it's really weird how every party is behaving like the platonic ideal of a political career is the Boris Johnson premiership: come to power on the back of impossible promises, have a miserable 30 months in office and eventually get forced out in disgrace

The fucking what centre???

Don't subsidise energy prices during a supply crisis: give cash transfers to low-income and vulnerable households instead.

Interesting to see Ed Davey get it so wrong on the energy crisis. He's been treading the sensible, practical, heading in the right direction at a reasonable pace line very effectively for a good while now, but he's taken a massive misstep by arguing for increased demand at a time of supply shortage.

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

There's not enough fucking fuel. Stop trying to encourage people to use more of it.

trains are pretty full at rush hour, I don't think more fare subsidies can help modal shift. the less said about fuel duty the better. there is simply less oil to go round. we need policies that make us use less of it, you can't solve the problem making things cheaper by fiat.

so they're closing the West Coast Main Line for a week, huh? the single line connecting London to four of Britain's next five biggest urban conurbations? that's mad, weird that no one's ever thought to build an alternative route, perhaps even one that runs at a high speed, too. crazy

I love watching David Peterson pitch...

I had forgotten how long the wait to 2:45am actually is for a Mets game to start

We are in the sixth year of the decade where real material limits came back to the west and people are still not getting it

Once again we come back to 'George Osbourne was the worst chancellor in modern history and so many of our major issues stem from him'

The team actively starting Brady Cook last year, and who traded away their 2 best defensive players midseason, weren't tanking then?

Next you'll tell me people go get a cancer diagnosis to get access to chemo

People with unmet needs seek ways to get their needs met—shocker!

This does not feel legal

Pitchers really need to be banned from challenging anything close

And he completely fucks up any reasonable lineup construction of the Pirates. Was obvious within 4 innings on opening day

It's a shock to absolutely fucking no-one as well.

Does it discuss how multiple Popes think he's a massive cunt?

"Notoriously transphobic Labour MP whose husband is accused if spying for China has affair with Royal Navy submarine captain" is quite a story

It is still March. I shall not complain about bench players getting ABs

I love a group when all 4 teams are objectively not good and can beat each other

Ernest Marples, probably the UK's most pro-car Transport Secretary ever, was very keen to emphasise it was a temporary measure until enough off street parking was built in the 50s, because I mean who would want this nonsense long-term?

I have a lot of thoughts about the defensive construction of this team

if you have a $4 pack of lettuce, ~40c is diesel. that's doubled to 80c, meaning your pack of lettuce is now $4.40. that's a 10% increase, not 25-50% the fertilizer is the real issue imo

6 weeks till I'm supposed to go to Spain. Not confident!

Couldn’t possibly get a 10 second violation Up 2 and in the bonus All time blunder man

It was like Glenn Sherlock was back

I dont look at this and think "what has become of our young men?". I think the immense social penalty of being a right wing teen is so pronounced that only terminally online fash-larping edgelords can be arsed. It's a sieve that filters out everyone but the most massive, psychotic dorks imaginable.

The "young men are overwhelmingly turning to the right" narrative isn't just contradicted by every stat we have, it stops us talking about something weirder: the UK/US' insane rightward shift means ANY young man involved in frontline right wing politics is now a bigger freak than we can even imagine

I hate him coming in part way through an inning. But I am ready to panic, already, about Manaea

CB is so angry when the second challenge is made

While this article is sound I wish it wouldn't concede to the framing that the bodies of women should be regulated. Michael Phelps has a 1 in 1,00,000 trait that helps him succeed and he is celebrated for it. A woman has a 1 in 10,000 trait and 20+ years of an athletic career is ended.

This is an explicit rejection of the Status Quo which has stood for nearly 300 years and Israel agreed to abide by in 1949 If Israel can’t/wont do this they are actively provoking religious conflict with the Christians (specifically Catholics here) www.reuters.com/world/middle...

I feel like Goodwin is getting a lesson in the fact that, even in hard right politics, you can be either pleasant to work with or good at the job but you do actually need to be one of them. His cardinal error was to be a prickly, thin-skinned arsehole and then lose. No one to blame but himself.

A lot of politicians can pursue bad policy that is good politics, or good policy that is bad politics, what sets Kemi apart is that she pursues bad policy that is also bad politics.

One of those games where when you use that much bullpen, you need to win and forget all about. Just nice to win a game when fucking trailing

3-RUN HOMER FOR ROBERT JR. 💥

Thank god Chris Getz doesn’t know who is a switch hitter
