The Simpsons looks to be leaving Sky One permanently as of November. I wrote about it briefly here: wesleymead.wordpress.com/2026/10/24/r... @cwickham.bsky.social

Good morning, I am late to work at Bradford via Leeds due to a cancellation and then cows on the line #northernpowerhouse

That little mobile air fryer they have for tooth fillings is quite good, isn’t it?

New time unit just dropped: the Zacharia. One Zacharia equals roughly half a Scaramucci.

If we want to stop Elon Musk having a veto over Ukraine's fighting capability, we need to ask why Europe is incapable of building a company like SpaceX and what needs to change to make it possible.

Good afternoon from Blackpool

I would like to hear the story of how this Blackpool hotel registration requirement came about

Doesn’t say if it’s the same five words over and over again

[car dealership waiting room] Me: [chanting] knobs, knobs- Other car buyers: knobs, KNOBS Car salesman: [pounding desk] KNOBS, KNOBS, KNOBS!

Once again my vague interest in the idea of going to Glastonbury comes up against my realisation of this vague interest when the news is reporting that the tickets have sold out

Things it is still not possible to do in Microsoft Outlook in the year of our lord 2026. Have a calendar meeting which more than one person is allowed to be the organiser of. Have a way to add notes to e-mails in a shared inbox so that other people know what's going on with the e-mail.

Zombie Denis Healey speaking at Labour conference is it?

Last night there was a noise and Nibbler was perturbed

“Trump approval now at -22.4, his low point for the term and now lower than at any point in his first term, even after Jan. 6. By comparison, he was at a "mere" -11.6 at this point in 2018.” www.natesilver.net/p/trump-appr...

I have to tell you now that no such undertaking has been received - and that consequently, this country is at war with Piddington.

Considering a trip to barber, more out of nostalgia than anything

Because the state has loads of spare capacity at the moment!!!

Apparently they've cast the new #JamesBond.

The train conductor greeted a passenger by name at Kirkstall Forge station, and when I reached Bradford, the staff were passing some toasted crumpets and a mug of coffee over the ticket barrier to another ticket checker

Remind me to post a job advert like this to su.careers before I retire

If anyone can tell me what all the men suited and booted, wearing Yorkshire white rose ties and badges in Kings Cross station have been up to in London, I will transfer you 1p through PayPal

New PISA data out England is now top ten in all three areas (reading, maths, science) and the second highest performing country outside of east Asia (after Estonia). This is a huge public policy success.

“Please, Blobby, my father was Mr Blob”

Ah, man. Tim Curry.

Hahaha fucking helllllllll just read this. So many thoughts. Like “this is how you actually do money laundering, not on Oxford Street” and “British deference to small businesses being honest and taxpaying is the problem”. (Writes a small business owner.) www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

Anna Maxwell Martin is very good. That is all.

Thanks OneDrive. ThoneDrive.

TIL the SU has a shower

My wisdom tooth has its own little gum flap, a tiny fleshy hood, and now a piece of last tuesday’s dinner lives under there permanently, throbbing gently, like a lodger who won’t pay rent but also won’t leave

Me: “This jigsaw you’re doing with a missing piece, surely you should throw it away rather than giving it back to the charity shop to continue the frustration with someone else?” Ana: “No. When education is not liberating the dream of the oppressed is to become the oppressor.”

I see.

Forgot dinner time is at lunch in Yorkshire. I’m in Leeds centre, and he is at my home, so have a very unhappy plumber. I have spent too long in London.

Major Bin error, we assumed that the binmen would treat the bins like in Walthamstow where if they’re outside the house the binmen will take them. It seems in Leeds if they’re not on the pavement, they will not be taken, so we have to work out where to put our rubbish for the next two weeks.

Mr. Jambo is a bop

I still think of Matt Berry saying "Woodpecker?" when someone knocks on the door
