"Put estrogen in our tap water PLEASE" https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/766338

Unsure why but for some reason I'm feeling very hungry and weak and I Do Not Like It. Like properly "I want to eat everything now" which is... the opposite of me usually

I'm sorry, what???

Forever finding myself surprised by how small a flat white is

Is there a decent and recent article anywhere about Labour's voters going more to the Greens and LDs rather than Reform? I realise it's probably easy to find but I am currently unable to for some reason

Put this bunny in a box, then put that box inside another box, and mail it to Yzma, and when it arrives…

Threatening war crimes and mocking Islam isn't a sign of strength, it's a sign of weakness. The PM should rule out UK forces and airfields being used for any attacks on Iranian civilian infrastructure. What more will it take for Starmer to call off the Royal Visit Trump craves?

What’s CHVRCHES’ best song and why is it Tether

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

Oh jeez he’s up Happy Easter

I used to write the WaPo editorials on US-Africa policy, as well on as human rights and politics on the continent. To describe hundreds of thousands of deaths on the continent as “messy” is an absolute abomination.

Feel quite proud of the fact I knew this one instantly

Filled and drained the bathroom sink and it seems to be fine now?

That doesn’t look good

Great articulation of my main worry about AI use among researchers (including myself!) Among current students, a hugely beneficial trait will be the ability to force oneself to sometimes do hard stuff on their own to really understand it even when AI is faster. ergosphere.blog/posts/the-ma...

So tonight I'm not doing Wiki edits, but I am looking at a retrospective planning application for the unit on the ground floor of my building, to see how long it's been empty for. The application was rejected in June 2022

Love* how one of the biggest news talking points of today’s news has been about what we might have to officially call marmalade if a deal with the EU passes. *absolutely hate

Finally someone is speaking up for the interests of the wealthy!

The government did an "emergency" 5p fuel tax cut when prices spiked in 2022. Petrol prices quickly dropped back to their previous levels...but that "emergency" cut was never reversed. It's just not remotely good policy, or even feasible, to keep repeating cuts that end up permanent.

Man for comparison

Very pleased to have critical thinking skills

Welcome back Tyrell and Brabham F1 teams

I have spoken repeatedly in Parliament about the need for national resilience. This means preparing for every eventuality, and it is incumbent on ministers to lead. www.midweekherald.co.uk/news/2598261...

Discovered a great new type of alarm clock this morning. It’s called Living next to a BAE Systems factory

Can’t believe that for the second week in a row Great British Menu has been interrupted by the football. Absolutely disgraceful anti-British wokeism

Kemi is Ed Davey’s Wario

I will absolutely not send a react to an email. If you email me with something you will be getting a response even if it’s “Thanks for this! All the best, Jack” If you’ve done something for me the least I can do is actually say thank you

On #TransDayOfVisibility we celebrate trans people and stand with the trans community against hatred and discrimination. To all our trans, non-binary and gender non-conforming members, supporters, friends and followers: We respect you, we value you - today and every day.

I’m glad it’s not just me that rotates my dishes

Every time I open outlook a suggestion comes up saying “Add ‘outlook.cloud.microsoft’ as an application for mailto links?” And it’s *so annoying*. Just a little thing but there’s no option to permanently stop it coming up

Might see if I can get a patch to sew on my backpack that says “please don’t vape in enclosed public spaces :)”

Thank you for making me aware of the existence of Igor Tudor

It is absolutely stupid that a major focus of policy response to the Iran War is on the planned 1p rise in fuel duty in September (watching Trevor Phillips interview Bridget Phillipson). Of no help now to anyone to abandon it. Shows how trivial our political debate has become.

It’s just so stupid on so many levels. The *fundamental* problem is that the world has less oil. We need to use less to account for that. Making petrol a fraction cheaper doesn’t help with the real issue, costs the government money and does very little for households.

Messed up with the clocks changing so woke up an hour late (in my defence the fire time I’ve ever needed to be up early on daylight savings). It is also HORRIBLE rain and wind right now

I’m very tired, I need to be up early tomorrow, the clocks change tonight, my neighbour is being very loud, and the pub across the road is doing karaoke 🫥

I mean, I feel like the fact the race starts in 9 and a half hours is only one of the reasons why I might be saying “no”

A very topical find in an antique shop earlier

I’m very aware I can come across quite middle class but going into a cafe earlier and saying “I am going to order, but do you mind awfully if I use your loo first?” is really showing that

The quotes here are truely awful: not even hiding behind the Zionist formulation, explicitly rejecting apps because their founder had a Jewish name. And these arent random activists - they're party officers. The Greens should be taking urgent diciplinary action.

Ok. My understanding of the electoral fraud situation is this. 1. Democracy volunteers put out a statement at one minute past poll close. They said this was at a level they’d not seen before
