It’s cool that we’re building data centres in the UK, seeing as energy and clean water and are so cheap and abundant.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

I think it should be illegal for there to be this many existential threats. I'm pretty sure there was only one or two when my dad was a kid.

"This hatred, it’s like a cancer. It spreads because people will always say, ‘Oh, it’s just the illegals.’ It’s not. “From what I experienced, it was anyone who was remotely different, different creed, different colour, different sexuality.” www.theargus.co.uk/news/2665180...

I don’t get paid to exercise. Why can’t he draw slugs good?

Going to start calling overnight oats ‘Oats After Dark’, to introduce a little mystery into my life.

My real dream is that Nathan Fielder does a CBeebies Bedtime Story to promote You Can See Everything.

It's not out here till November the 20th, so there's plenty of time for them to arrange it.

This is very much Brexit. And so many in the uk think a bit more racism will somehow equal wealth.

Somebody said "They voted for racism and got poverty" The thing is... social scientists and economists have been saying for the last 50 years Racism is austerity

“Why aren’t you Twitter anymore” I dunno, man - maybe because these are the comments I get when a clip of me on LBC is shared on there of me talking about racism? I’m past caring now, most of them are probably bots - but Twitter is a cesspit

What a pointless endeavour. What next? Are too many people left handed?

With much media coverage of a government report that ADHD and autism are being over-diagnosed, a claim which some experts have disputed, half of Britons now believe that the conditions are being over-diagnosed Over-diagnosed: 50% Under-diagnosed: 17% About right: 17% yougov.com/en-gb/daily-...

Hey, if you like spooks and ghouls, The Substance and Longlegs are in iPlayer at the moment, bye!

I meant to say ‘on’ iPlayer. But let’s pretend iPlayer is like a big box of VHS cassettes.

To those who say "heat pumps are for the middle classes": the whole damn point of subsidising them and rolling out the technology is to ensure that heat pumps are for everyone, reducing our bills, reducing indoor and outdoor pollution, reducing our emissions, while making our homes more habitable.

I thought I had a package delivery but it was a Tory with a Kemi newspaper for me.

There's a lot in it about regulation and red tape being bad, which is pretty wild after the banking crisis, and the water companies polluting the rivers and sea, and the Grenfell fire. It's pretty wild.

To think I posted this BEFORE I learned that the US are going to live-stream a firing squad execution.

I’ve started watching The Twilight Zone from scratch, and this season 2 intro from Rod Serling has really stuck with me.

Yes, at last the Chips Shops of the North zine is available. I'll be selling these chip shop beauties, and a ton of my comic books work, at the Lakes International Comics Festival in Kendal this weekend. See you there.

Earlier I was thinking about how nobody has recommended me something on Netflix in ages. Lately it's mostly been shows on AppleTV or iPlayer, and occasionally Disney+ or HBO.

It's called National Grid because it used to be nationalised - like the fact that British Gas is called that because it used to be the UK's state-owned energy supplier, but now it's a private company. Same with BT and British Airways.

Hahaha, my energy bills are already 3x what they were in 2022. Exited for the further 16% increase next year. Can't wait for Reform and the Tories to say we need to drill more oil to fix this (it will NOT fix this).

ENERGY PRICE CHANGE DAY. On monthly direct debit without a working smart meter? Submit a reading in next day or two. - On price cap, its up 3.6% today - On a fix, VAT scrapping means elec's 4.8% cheaper A reading ensures you're not billed for too much use at the higher rate.

The UK has, simultaneously, an over reliance on gas, and barely any gas storage, so we desperately buy gas at whatever price is offered. It's painfully obvious that the solution is to switch as much to electric and make our own electricity.
