And the bar goes wild

US, EU, and Japanese car-makers putting short term profits above long-term market share. Consumers are going to notice that their vehicles are more expensive and difficult to maintain. www.ft.com/content/a0cf...

It's been a bit shit lately, but there's nothing better than screaming at a TV in a pub and then being taught Arsenal celebrations by enthusiastic young geezers

The awful and wonderfully sad thing about losing someone are the constant reminders. This morning I'm listening to Neutral Milk Hotel and remembering my then-teenage brother grabbing one of their drumsticks. Laughing and exhalting when he got it.

TIL that a curfew is also a literal object! the word has its roots in the French couvrefeu - "cover fire" - and was used to denote a bell rung to warn people to cover their fires overnight to prevent the outbreak of flames between wooden houses. a curfew was a bell-shaped cover for embers!

This is so bafflingly easy. India, most of China, Southeast Asia, Turkey, Iran, and some good coffee.

one of those drop everything and just read it things …. www.netzeropolicylab.com/china-green-...

Send me your @letterboxd.social profile please. I need more tips, recs, and snark boxd.it/31pEF (mine)

So, ah, Eze's not really playing in the Conference League right?

Won't lie. Been obsessively refreshing Arsenal news all day. Just felt like something was up.

This probably means our business for the summer is over. I think we've done well - especially in strengthening the midfield. I'm higher than most on Noni, but I think our attack is deeper, not significantly better. Our best starting three in most games is probably still Martinelli-Havertz-Saka.

Eep. I've been doing the tote bag and book thing for fifteen years. I just thought I was being dorky and practical? (I'm not drinking matcha though. Nope) www.nytimes.com/2025/08/14/s...

Is there a world in which all this overbuild of energy for AI is helpful for clean energy deployment, old energy retirement if/ when the AI bubble bursts?

US to retaliate against countries for increasing the cost of shipped goods, you say? Suggest they start with the countries imposing the highest levies www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

Not me getting extremely excited by Zubimendi in pre-season

Going to sell them Alaska back for $8 million and call it a win.

I'm not sure international cat day is a thing. But, if you'd like to to be, adopt this wonderful cat www.petfinder.com/cat/pugsley-...

Time for a surprise week in New Zealand 😧

The problem with barbers in London is that they're all called like: Dapper Geezers, Grooming Gang, or I'll Cut You. And, mate, I dunno.

Zubimendi, now Gyokeres. Add Eze and we'll have won the summer 2024 transfer window. #Arsenal

Looked pretty good here too

Rodrygo to Arsenal

This is an extremely dark day for the club. It raises questions about those in senior positions. Who made the decision to keep playing him? Will they be held accountable too?

Not like it hasn't been in the post but a dark day for Arsenal. The club should be ashamed.

“It’s not just about cost—the bill text imposes new and perhaps insurmountable uncertainties on project developers and investors, rendering the remaining provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act unusable and creating untenable pressures for clean energy deployment.”

I guess he's going to.... Lead the line

The way people ride Lime Bikes in London terrifies me, and I live in New York.

This is basically the entire UK defence budget. But for ICE.

crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their consultants

I still think it should be constitutional to let me vote though

New York is back baby

LATEST CHINA SOLAR DATA: 93GW installed during May --- the same as EVER installed in TEXAS and CALIFORNIA.. combined 🤯🤯🤯 (yes, the Chinese are in a bit of a rush before policy changes, but even still!)

Hey NYC friends. We rather urgently need a foster/ adopter for this pretty maniac, found on our block trying to eat poison rats, pass along to anyone who might be interested www.instagram.com/p/DKvukzuONn...

Wild night where we rescued a blind, ill older cat from main road traffic. After rescuing another time from our block earlier this week. Our apartment has too many cats rn. But at least they're alive 😭

Here's my climate change reading list post. Starting with something important from my boss - "Clear and strong climate policies are an antidote to economic uncertainty" - on how to do climate change stuff in the middle of a trade war and why it's the way out unfccc.int/news/strong-...

That Villa decision is entirely in keeping with the PGMOL under Webb. They'd rather perform being decisive than wait and be right. They're also very, very bad at using the tools on offer to them. Having to use the tech is seen as weak. Changing your mind is weak. They're incapable of deliberation.

That's absolutely delightful. Williamson incredible at the back. Renée Slegers looked so calm with ten to go. I was not. Astonishing. Arsenal win the Champions League.

Wow wow wow

Climate action can be an "antidote to economic uncertainty." The boss went to the Panama Canal today and had a few big things to say about clean energy, trade, and why, with the right policy signals and much more investment, things can be good, actually www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Absolutely made up for Palace. Eze, Mateta, Muñoz, and Wharton class. Henderson had the best version of Henderson game. That 1990 team should have won too. City deserved nothing.

Strongly warning Glasner against dancing. We know how that goes. #CPFC

One thing that strikes me from this piece, not the China hype, but how Silicon Valley got high on its own supply. Capital and resource rich, all nostalgic politics and Lord of the Rings references. The people who want to invent the future are stuck in the past on.ft.com/44FrTFB via @FT

Andor is great. Just disappointing to be reminded it's in the Star Wars universe. It should go off and do its own thing.

This is a portrait of an unambiguously successful policy ... www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I'm a dinosaur - I largely like offices. But the demand to return to office is more about control than culture - "performing" management, controlling time rather than using it more efficiently. Home working has given workers more independence than mostly older management men are comfortable with.

The first two minutes of the game was interrupted by an unspecified emergency broadcast. There was a brief moment where I thought we might be on the edge of nuclear war (not just news from the Conclave). So, hey, no nuclear war is good.

There’s so much happening right now, I thought I’d put together a running thread on the dismantling of #climate and research and knowledge infrastructure in the United States 🧵
