We have until Thursday 29th October to stop Thames Water from being bailed out yet again at our expense Andy Burnham, block the bailout, remove their licence, TAKE IT BACK. Sign the petition 👇 weownit.org.uk/act-now/tham...

The very idea that we might be able to discuss something reasonably, loses, 82 votes to 12. I'm not a bad loser, I'll take that. But the lesson is, some social media might be better than others, but it'll always be full of cvnts.

Brenter means Brenter.

Excellent piece of work:

Haha, they nearly had me with this. "The Duck... Distinctive by nature. Exceptional by our own assessment." theduck.website

If Ed Sheeran had a pair of gonads he could have done something incredible there. Instead, he's cacked it like a babby, and taught a legion of onlookers that it's better to kiss arse and take the coin.

The arrogance of claiming ownership of a word that forms part of your name, when you chose it *because* people already use it. Maybe Air Canada should sue Airbnb for cheapening THEIR brand - the stupid, rip-off cottage-hawkers are not even up in the air. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Really good chicken helmet. Best chicken helmet I’ve ever seen maybe.

Likely to become even more raw as more people realise that a change only affecting people in England and Wales was defeated by MPs from Scotland and Northern Ireland! If it had only been voted on by MPs whose constituents were affected, it would have passed.

It IS antisemitic to conflate Judaism with the state of Israel, but it's a ripping wheeze when it benefits those who support the state of Israel. This is a long read (due to the quoted interview), but very good, as usual, from @brokenbottleboy.bsky.social. Worth your time.

Just opened Miro for the first time in a little while to find that it won't let me just draw a diagram, it wants to me to hang out with its little chatbot friend. So I ask it to draw three concentric circles.

There are a lot of things I don’t do but finishing my sentences with a childish word for excrement is something I do do.

Today, the president met with Zelenskyy, a war hero, and Netanyahu, a war criminal. The former has to repeatedly justify the need for military aid, while the latter receives it unconditionally. This moment will be remembered as a test of America’s values — and how we failed it.

Me: How do I edit the httpd conf file to make Apache load PHP 8.5? GPT: PHP 8.5 hasn't been released yet, so you can't. Me: I have to disagree, I just downloaded it from php.net. GPT: You're right, it has been released. But you can't install it, you instead have to edit http conf to load it. 🫠

A surprise to no-one, but another signpost pointing to realiy. The simple numbers relating to Israel's crimes will eventually convict them. Don't align yourself with genocide while you await that moment. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

This is only the beginning. The climate crisis is here. So why are politicians and most of the media still acting as though this can wait? It can't. We can still avoid some of the worst impacts - but only if we find the courage to act. metro.co.uk/2026/06/22/g...

It's easy to see why Elon Musk elects to incite violence and hatred over the events in Belfast and Southampton: billionaires have got a lot of skin in this game. The broader tragedy is that we're too dumb to join the dots, and that the media chooses not to do it for us.

A great uplifting read here. As the US climate campaigner Bill McKibben noted recently: “Sunlight has to travel 93 million miles to reach the Earth, but none of those miles go through the Strait of Hormuz”. open.substack.com/pub/iandunt/...

Wes Streeting gets his tongue stuck to metal gates on frosty mornings.

I enjoyed this very much; Deya have long been at the forefront on strongly-hopped pales, so I wasn't surprised by how good it was. Soft and deep is the best way I can describe it. I may be biased, as it was a gift from a loved one. But I don't think I am.

This story is completely insane. Beyond belief.

This is exciting: not only tasty, but almost completely inedible 🫠 🌶️🌱

Reform UK candidate runs diversity training courses which her party wants scrapped

You can't tell me that Port Salut has an inedible rind. Not in this day and age. Sure, at one time it was covered in a weird, waxy netting, but not any more: all that remains is an annatto-stained memory of its former swaddling.

i'll read any article of any length. i'll read any book. but i will not watch a youtube explainer or monologue that is longer than three minutes. write it down buddy

Anyone who received their postal ballot today in the South of Scotland region, please be aware that "Independent Green Voice", which appears second on the list on the peach regional ballot paper, is NOT the Scottish Green Party. This is in fact a deliberate vote spoiling attempt by right-wingers.

I don't understand Trending on Bluesky. 'The Pitt' is trending, which seems unlikely when it's Friday morning in the UK, and still only 7am in New York. Is nothing else happening? Top Gun is also trending, but when you click that, not a single post says "Top Gun", yet every one includes #thepitt 🤷

Hi there, I’ve just signed the petition below calling for Thames Water to be taken into public ownership. Will you add your name too and then share it far and wide? 38d.gs/TwPublicOwne...

Powerful stuff. I've a lot of time for Mothin, who has to navigate more attacks, and be held to a higher standard than most. He makes a fantastic achar, too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPsR...

"10,000 homes flooded? How very convenient for the net zero brigade!"

NEW | On the latest chapter of the same old story… THE NICK TIMOTHY TRAP It's the same strategy every time: Make a provocative (and racist) statement, trigger a 'debate', and push the discourse further to the far right. brokenbottleboy.substack.com/p/the-nick-t...

I've no idea if this is true, but I'm putting it here in the hope that it is, or that someone has the time to check. I don't get Reform flyers, but I'm going to write the address on a couple of old trainers and see if I can fit them through the post box slot.

Dependence on fossil fuels is a national security issue which SHOULD be crystal clear after the oil/ gas crisis following the full invasion of Ukraine.
