Liddle to be celebrated

Brilliant letter from Stuart Thompson to Jeremy Clarkson about his comments that benefit claimants should write weekly thank you letters to tax payers detailing how they spend their benefits each week.
Rod Liddle wrote (amongst other disgusting stuff) in a national newspaper that he wanted to put up piano wire across roads at neck height to target people cycling. That probably added and encouraged others. That was enough to make me despise him. road.cc/content/news...

never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as “the far side-esque” but this comes close.
Well done Aisling Bea. We are bored of these shits like Ross asking these fucking questions.

Insane new research. Scientists gave asthma patients free electric stoves to replace their gas stoves, then checked to see if symptoms improved. Not only did symptoms improve, ditching gas was *better than medicine.* Details in today's newsletter: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/electric-s...
Researchers used electric stoves to treat asthma. It worked.
The latest evidence that gas is bad for your health.

Sensible policy klaxon 🚨 Currently, if a 16 year old chooses to stay in school/college, their family can keep claiming benefits as before (notably child benefit). If they opt for an apprenticeship, the benefits stop. The system discourages apprenticeships. The DWP just announced a fix 🧵
Just loving how John Cleese, now reduced to one of his own caricatures, rages about immigrants coming to the UK and failing to accept "our" culture, from his home in ... (checks notes) ... Nevis in the Caribbean.
A story about Bill Oddie RIP. When Rowan Williams was Archbishop of Canterbury, he used to invite me to his Christmas parties. One year, I took my husband Andy Gill as my plus one…

The last time I researched this, I discovered the timeline "sport is open to all; woman wins; sport is immediately closed off to women; women's league is eventually formed years later" is almost universal. Women's leagues were overwhelmingly created *strictly* to protect the egos of men.
nude antifa goat@goat.sex · 2w agothe whole "women's sports exist to protect women from men" framing is hilarious, given that a lot of these divisions were initially formed because men were deeply embarrassed any time a woman beat them at a sport olympic shooting was mixed gender right up until a woman won the gold
Under a Binface government, anyone who doesn’t accept human-made climate change as fact will be sent back to school, from Year 1 right the way to A Levels, to see if anything goes in the second time round. #VoteBinface
More needs to be made of the fact that fuel duty has been frozen since 2011 PLUS an additional 5p CUT (which was supposed to be temporary) since 2022. At enormous cost to the country.

NEW: Ex-CEO of Southern Water facing charge of conspiracy to defraud, alongside three members of his team. It's alleged Matthew Wright conspired to defraud the Environment Agency and OfWat, the regulator, over the wastewater compliance testing regime.
Elaine in this article "can't remember the last time she used her oven" but also spends £200 a month on petrol (so driving probably ~50 miles a day?) (she's also a professional old person; she was on Good Morning Britain last year, and then also at the Nov budget, and the year before lmao)
'I can't afford to turn the oven on': 7.4m households struggling to buy essentials
As Andy Burnham promises “breathing space” for households, millions are unable to buy items such as clothing, heating and food.

4660km over 2 weeks. Very much enjoyed sleeper-train-on-boat. Pleased the teen made it up to Hornlihutte, hiking on Etna was fascinating but the heat did get to us. Gutted we missed Haarland in Sicily. Now to plan next years…. #interrail
Nearly two thousand years ago, Roman soldiers campaigning far north of the Danube left an inscription in what is now Slovakia. I travelled to Trenčín to see it - and found a story about borders, identity and cities that outlive empires. robjcameron.substack.com/p/the-roman-...

Public Transport - Don't Make Me Think!
In the last year, I've been through over a dozen cities and used public transport in all of them. It is wild just how confusing and complex buying a ticket can be. While some cities obviously take a user-centred approach to ticketing, others appear to take a Kafkaesque delight in a bureaucratic maze of zones, apps, and intricate restrictions. One of the seminal texts in computer systems design…

Slow clap for Trentalia who have double booked our seats on Napoli->Milan. 🙄
People who keep pointing out that golf courses use as much water as data centres as some sort of defence of data centres drastically underestimate the amount we also hate golf.
I am once again begging Hollywood to stop using the Greek alphabet for an Ancient World movie, if they can't afford to even throw a couple of quid at anyone with an inkling of the language. Unless they really think audiences are dying to see THS THDPSSSSPS
