It’s one week until the eclipse! You’ve still got time to sort out your glasses! Many good brands available, just make sure they have the ISO 12312-2 international safety standard! www.theastroholic.co.uk/august-solar...

August Solar Eclipse Prep!

On August 12, 2026, Iceland and Spain will experience a total eclipse of the Sun. I have been asked by a few people for advice and suggestions about glasses and locations for the eclipse, so here are ...

I need Thames Water to understand that the hosepipe ban is having the exact opposite of the intended effect in our household specifically. i am wasting twice as much water doing the garden

I remember the first time I heard the name 'Rod Liddle'. I was at the Leeds Playhouse and it was said about forty times over ten minutes by Stewart Lee in a routine about how he looks like he's covered in crumbs and gravy and other food debris. I went home and googled him and thought, 'ha, yeah.'

This is what it looks like when a charity which has correctly pointed out that "gender critical" organisations are anti-rights is faced with a litigation threat from those anti-rights groups backed by the bottomless pockets of an anti-rights millionaire in a legal system which says the richest wins.

There is literally no medical condition that contentedly uninformed journalists wont blame on chicken dippers.

“While traits of ADHD undeniably exist – the question is why they exist. Is ADHD actually a neurodevelopmental disorder? Do people with ADHD have differently wired brains? Or does our world – with…processed food, and regimented education – serve as the catalyst for certain…patterns of behaviour?”

An underreported part of UK Transphobe Lawfare™ is that when they lose, they just... say they won. For all the regrettable sway they do have in courts/govt etc, their real power is in the press. So if they lose, they just pretend they didn't and their press friends print the lie. It's ubiquitous.

Women's Rights Network/Sex Matters took Feile to court to have their event reinstated. It was not reinstated. The two statements released after an agreement was reached give two very different impressions of what happened today in Belfast's High Court.

Statement from Féile an Phobail Statement from Féile an Phobail Féile an Phobail are delighted with today’s outcome at the High Court. Today’s outcome is a vindication of Féile’s position in standing up for those who are marginalised. Féile’s decision to withdraw this event from our programme stands. The agenda of many of those who involved themselves in this issue was clear for all to see. Many of the very same people line up every year to attack Féile at every turn, to attempt to damage Féile, and to attack the West Belfast community. They will never succeed. Féile an Phobail will continue to provide a voice for the marginalised, and we are looking forward to welcoming the world to West Belfast to join with us to celebrate Ireland’s biggest community festival. Féile Abú!

Over a year ago, a Dutch frog science magazine emailed me asking if they could include my comic in their upcoming issue about dart frogs. They were interviewing the scientist who first described the blue poison dart frog; he had seen and liked the comic. They mailed me a copy, which just arrived:

To every trans Londoner: this city is yours too. Today we celebrate London Trans+ Pride and reaffirm a simple truth: you should be free to live as yourself, without fear or prejudice. You are loved. You are wanted. You belong here.

must be a weird day becoming PM. you wake up at home, briefly meet the king, go into work for day one in front of a cheering (ish) crowd, the office door shuts behind you, they make you write a nice letter to the Nuclear Deterrent and tell you about the aliens, then it's all sort of up to you

Self-employed people! Sorry to put a downer on your Sunday, but in case you'd not seen, the Government wants us to pay our tax *monthly* like we're employees or something With the World Cup and all the politics, I'd missed the consultation they put out last month, which is here: 1/
