Tri100 Llanes - top of my triathlon bucket list. Why am I so excited to enter a small regional triathlon in Asturias? irontwit.creativeblogs.net/2026/10/27/t... #triathlon #Asturias

Wow! The times they are a changin. Mr Putin is not going to be happy.

Sport radio is on its latest bout of, “One more managerial change will turn around Manchester United”, when the whole enterprise remains fundamentally, perpetually cursed by a takeover expressly designed to bleed dry a club and enrich a family - cheerily waved through by a certain Alex Ferguson.

The Government™ has made an ad about all these protests happening around the world, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

Vattenfall collected data monitoring bird collisions at an offshore wind farm, or lack of bird collisions. During the study, no collisions were detected and 96% of birds made course changes to avoid the blades. www.offshorewind.biz/2026/10/23/v...

Some good news (from the National Crime Survey, h/t frasernelson.substack.com/p/lawless-br...)

Really interesting article. Shows how far wide of the mark most commentators on this side of La Manche have been.

Urgent: the government is soon to decide whether to give the green light to Rosebank, a move that would lock us into decades more climate-wrecking oil. @friends-earth.bsky.social tool helped me ask my MP to say no to new oil and gas – will you do the same? action.friendsoftheearth.uk/target/deman...

Approving the Jackdaw gas field solves none of our problems, while contributing to the existential crisis of climate breakdown. The government has privileged special interests above the general interest. It's a shameful, cowardly decision.

Unthinkable that Labour has doubled down on fossil fuels by approving Jackdaw – a total betrayal of future generations & contradiction of govts own climate goals. The science is clear: the only way to secure a prosperous future in the face of climate breakdown is to keep fossil fuels in the ground.

Lie, waffle, dissemble. Coached answer to a question. She knows that drilling for gas is incompatible with tackling climate change. It’s all about the money.

E3G is part of a big Guardian splash on the disappointing government announcement to greenlight the Jackdaw oil field. Our polling shows it will cost Labour votes. I'm quoted in the story www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The standard of punditry in the Wolves game is awful. “The keeper saves it from going wide.” (He touched a shot off target to give away a corner).

For shits and giggles! Apparently this is socially acceptable.

It takes about 50kwh of electricity to produce 1kg of hydrogen. A hydrogen car could drive around 70 miles on that kg. If you put that 50kwh into an EV instead, it could drive at least 150 miles. Why are we still talking about hydrogen powered vehicles?

It’s come to something when a photographer has to get legal advice, before displaying this photo in an exhibition, due to the risk of being prosecuted as a terrorist, but that’s exactly what I had to do yesterday. What a state this country is in.

An important read. I don’t think many Britons have ever supported wanton habitat destruction to build homes and I’m astonished that the major wildlife charities are not calling out the government in this obvious con.

There’s too much caution about calling Farage and Reform racist. They have no such timidity when they threaten to strip us of our rights and protections, to mass deport people and kill them at sea. They routinely insult, perv, vilify and hate people. You don’t ‘nice’ that away. You call it out.

Mr Healey - you are an ignorant, short-sighted, fool Have you taken any time to look around you - to see and understand what is happening to our world? There is NO growth on a dying planet www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

For 10 weeks, we asked five AI chatbots the same questions every day. None repeated the core misinformation they were tested on, but they reported proposals as law, quoted outdated figures and gave different answers on different days. Our first report: fullfact.org/ai-benchmark...

What a view! Staying in Seaton in Leicestershire and this is the Harringworth viaduct.

My beloved Rancilio Silvia is back in action thanks to share.google/pHxvkGYpmTwY... He’s based in South Manchester and I highly recommend his services.

If a school receives a complaint that has been generated by AI, is it legitimate for the school to respond by AI? What positive outcome is there from 2 AIs arguing with each other? Is an AI generated complaint a legitimate complaint if the complainee has limited written language skills? It's tricky.

'“Russia did not interfere in British politics“ says the man who shook off his own Security Officers to go to a party with KGB officers, gave a peerage to one of Putin‘s own KGB-connected millionaires, played tennis with the wife of an oligarch for a massive donation to the Tory ...' via Will Blaik

The first Russian diesel cargo heading for the US left St Petersburg on September 22, two weeks *before* Trump announced the deal with Putin, Windward reports. The Greek-flagged tanker Minerva Zen carrying 275,000 barrels of diesel/gasoil is due at the US East Coast around 11–12 October.

This is absolutely damning. A must-read.

Today I finished John & Ann Tusa’s brilliant account of the Nuremberg Trials. It tells of the lengths they went to afford some of the worst criminals in history some basic dignity during their execution. Also today, the USA is going to livestream an execution.

I've got 2 tickets to Buffalo Tom at the Band On The Wall in Manchester tomorrow night. Unfortinately, due to illness, I can't go. I've listed them on the Ticketmaster Resale platform if anyone's interested: secure.ticketmaster.co.uk/rs/1F006466D...

I suspect the real reason for the suspended ban was to avoid an appeal where they knew they'd all be subjected to the Tonda Death Stare again. After every. Single. Question. #Saintsfc

Well. It's over. At last! A suspended ban and a fine. There'll be plenty that are unhappy, but given that the club have already been severely punished and the time it has taken the FA to get to this point, it seems fair. #Spygate #Saintsfc
