The BBC should explain why Gary Lineker isn’t allowed to have opinions but Justin Webb is.

I have a stock rant about US customary volume measurements that I drop at appropriate (and probably inappropriate) times because the way they are derived is totally stupid.

If this is true, which I’m a bit skeptical of this and anyone trying to predict how the P5 will vote on Friday because it’s all so chaotic at the moment, it will be made all the more outrageous by the fact that the government is said to be backing her because of football.

This is true because had she not left so quickly we would have had no choice as a people but to put our entire national effort towards getting as far away from her as possible.

So what I’m gathering is that Cheesecake Factory occupies the same cultural space for Americans as Nando’s does for us Brits where I’d go there for birthdays/celebrations because it’s good but despite that it’s obviously not posh.

Additionally, on the new Preparing for Emergencies advice, what specific emergency do you, fellow Sainsbury’s shopper, believe a trolley full of 160 rolls of toilet paper will help with?

The government has renewed longstanding advice in disaster preparedness, with a bit more energy than usual because lots of cyber stuff atm, bit of Russia, and particularly el Niño. Have you seen the weather this weekend? The media is doing loads of coverage because you're clicking it.

The new Chair of OfCom has rather oddly suggested I should set up a left wing version of GB News. This suggests he doesn’t quite know what his job is. But I have taken him at his word. app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/75420/...

Obviously the budget is otherwise going to be a disaster because they’ve burned all their headroom on lower immigration but I am enjoying watching the government setting up the trap for the Tories and Reform to spend the entire media cycle defending tax evaders.

If nothing else this does suggest they don’t think they can sufficiently rig the midterms to avoid what’s coming.

Apologies for the source (takes cunts to know cunts) but Richard Tice's wedding seems like it was scripted by fucking Dante.

We have to be the only country where there are circumstances under which limiting your constituents’ access to cheap food is a vote winner.

“Liz Truss the most liberal PM on immigration since Blair” is a factoid perfectly packaged to break the brains of anyone following politics.

For those keeping score at home, this is different to yesterday’s major cybersecurity incident, which is different to the incident that took Google down the day before. Great week for tech

okay, what the hell? i expected php to bungle their security patch. i did not expect openai to brag about how smooth and great the process was and how proud they are of it here they should not be proud of it this was bungled af

I can’t believe we get private key 4 and the phpocalypse on the same day

If you want a terrifying vision of the future consider that Truman went on to win the 1948 presidential election.

If your private key is so much better than 4 why don’t you tell me what it is

actually, 4 is a very hard to guess number, and is secure from modern attacks

We have some of the most lucrative offshore wind space in the world and a factory that churns out wind turbines like sausages. If the government really wanted to reindustrialise they would heavily support that and use the profits to make funding available to move people to electric boilers and hobs

The IPCC is pretty clear that if we want a safe climate there can be no new oil and gas. But every country thinks it has some special reason for why it should be the exception

Forgive me for being skeptical that the infrastructure for Jackdaw gas production can be built in 10 days as is being widely reported when round these parts it took 4 years to build Tesco

This might be the single worst cybersecurity incident of all time.

Where are they moving the press briefings to? That’s right: Four Seasons Total Landscaping
