sorry to ruin your fun but his whole stoner nice guy routine is an act. Scooby's not even his real name, it's Gideon, and the only reason he can doss about in a mystery van is because his family, the D'Oubay-Doux, made a fortune in the East India Company in the 1700s. educate yourself.

Race Across The World but it's Flávio and Bibi on the run from Lula and the ICC

Peterborough all over bluesky today.

The real unfair competition women are being forced into with men is having women's sports constantly separated off as a distinct event which is made to compete commercially with much better funded and socially and institutionally enfranchised men's sporting events & found inadequate by that standard

Less of a problem though when they can rely on the BBC to broadcast the whole thing.

NEW: Anthropic’s filing appears to partly walk back the co-founders’ pledge to commit 80% of their personal equity holdings in the AI startup to philanthropic causes. Those acts, the filing suggests, are “voluntary, revocable expressions” that “do not constitute binding obligations.”

Making cauliflower soup and watching Lord of the Rings.

Anthropic lost $80.7B in the first half of this year.

Obviously this is outrageous in terms of partiality. But it's also yet another argument against rolling news. Rolling news has *so much* time to fill. Things like this must be a godsend for producers but it's really unhealthy for our discourse. If the BBC has to make cuts, it should bin News 24.

Are you a Labour MP (or office staff for same)? Have you been contacted by GB News & asked about my estimates of how (2024) constituencies voted in the EU referendum? Please remember: that was 10 years ago. Some people die, some turn eighteen—& most importantly, some change their mind!

Ministers keep saying things like “get ready for war in 1,000 days” and journalists keep not saying things like “what do you mean” and “can you be more specific” www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Hello! It doesn’t cost anything to repost but it helps me spread the word about my small business. My online shop is full of bold & colourful prints, homewares and cards. I’m also available for freelance design work and art licensing. gailmyerscough.co.uk

Thank you. Here's an example of one of the correct versions: blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/pro...

We’ve put together a guide to the laws, the regulations and the rules that apply if you’re filmed without your consent – and the things you can do to protect your privacy 👀 https://goodlawproject.org/resource/filmed-without-your-consent/

Things I saw from the train: A field folded in two Water organised in lines Two farmers kissing A kissing gate The wind fighting everything Broken fields stitched together with power lines Crows tumbling through gaps in the air An archdeacon dithering A sad ghost (reflection?)

'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my treehouse door." Quoth the Piglet, "It's Eeyore!" - Edgar Allan Pooh

all it took was ten years of unbridled racism, corruption, incompetence, cover-ups, and traitorousness!

drilling for more gas then telling us to stockpile because of the climate crisis is like digging a deeper and deeper hole because you know a guy who sells long ladders

This, from the hugely experienced Irish courts reporter, Isabel Hayes, on the Minister for Justice’s performative outrage over an ad about children and consent, is worth reading.

Seriously, if you’re only realising now that Trump is a wrong ‘un, when any normal human-being with even a modicum of decency knew the minute he opened his mouth, then maybe, just maybe, you’re a fucking wrong ‘un too. But we knew that. bsky.app/profile/adam...

Corporate Welfare Rolls-Royce closing in on £200m govt subsidy to fund development of new engine. Free money. No means-testing. Govt not taking equity stake, money not repayable. RR had operating profit of £3.5bn in 2024-25, will hand up to £9bn to shareholders over next 3 years. archive.ph/r18wm

Anyone who has met Michael will tell you that you'd have to walk a long, long time to happen upon another soul of such unearthly beauty and gentility. But the thing is, you don't have to meet him to know that. I'm listening to his new album and it's all right here. He is absolutely the best of us.

Would be great if there were any consequences for these massive companies just doing whatever they fuck they want

Here's Sir David Attenborough on why this huge, heart-shaped piece of the UK in Northumberland is so important. A chance like this to save massive space for nature won't come again. £11,000 donated yesterday, £1.37m still to go by the end of the month - the time is now! 💚 #conservation #ukwildlife

Some experts say the cats have been fed. Speak to the cats themselves, however, and you'll hear a different story. One that may shock you. On our new, six part podcast, we ask the big question: In the war between experts and cats... ...just who can we truly believe?

This won't go anywhere, obviously, but it's still a useful indication of how they'd act if they ever get into Government. Locking up journalists would just be the start

More a snitch than a fess. I work in admin for a national courier firm. When you get those "how did the driver do?" feedback emails you are enabling their maximum profit business model by completing them. There are no area managers because you are doing the job for them for free.

The difference between Steve Witkoff and a jellyfish is that a jellyfish couldn't fit into Vladimir Putin's rectum because it's already occupied by Steve Witkoff.

Eminem is really proud of himself that he has put aside his political differences to remain friends with Kid Rock, but all I hear is "I have reduced Trump's corruption and extrajudicial killings to mere talking points". www.yahoo.com/entertainmen...

Oh my DAYS

Jared Kushner cannot legally participate in meetings as Trump's envoy unless and until he is confirmed by the Senate and files financial disclosures. We sued to enforce the law last week. So, no, he can't join this meeting with Zelensky today.

I keep a stuffed eel on my desk as a reminder that our time on this planet is finite. A sort of memento moray.
