I just found out that Amol Rajan is younger than me, and I dunno man, that just doesn’t make sense.

Discworld makes more sense than our silly world. It is the realest of all the worlds. Which just makes this dude not understanding it even more ridiculous. What a clown.

If you go onto Bluesky and trash Vimes’ Boots you are quite plainly looking for a fight. The quality of your argument is beside the point, you are here to push buttons.
The transition is already happening at speed. Mental to be acting like net zero is a problem in this context.
Nicolas Fulghum@nicolasfulghum.bsky.social · 2d agoJuly marks the first consecutive twelve month period where wind generated more electricity than gas in the UK...in every single month. In the last decade, wind generation in the UK has more than doubled, pushing first coal and now gas out of the mix.
the thesis presented in this book is load-bearing and relevant (this is my version of a huge compliment)
Zac Thompson@zacthompson.bsky.social · 5d agoMonday is the last day to pre-order HELLRAISER RESURRECTIONS: THE ONANISTIC RITUAL. A new single issue story that pulls Hellraiser into 2026 by exploring the depraved world of gooners and the manosphere. From myself, @bobgoblynn.bsky.social and @francescosegala.bsky.social Out 9/9!
Weirdly, today is five years since @jonlock.com and myself started looking at DC One Million on the JLACast. I think you should check the show out, if you haven’t already.if enough of you listen, maybe we can bring it back.
Tom Ewing@tomewing.bsky.social · 2d ago#EventsDearBoy 5. DC ONE MILLION (1998, DC) This is the Grant Morrison event where they play nicely with others, crafting a fantastical future for the DC Universe and opening its gates for other creators to have fun with. And they do - no other event has such an excellent tie-in hit-rate
I think this totally fair, but in exchange I want a personal thank you letter from Clarkson for the £250,000 that his farm got from government subsidies that come from my tax money. I don't want a form letter, I want him to write it like he means it.
Politics UK@politicsuk.com · 3d ago🚨 NEW: Jeremy Clarkson says benefits claimants should be forced to write a genuine thank you email to a random worker every week “It is SO kind of you to go to work every day so that I don’t have to. Thanks to you I was able to buy an even bigger television this week”
Labour genuinely seems to think that Keir Starmer was the problem, not the xenophobic, authoritarian mindset he propounded. It's like watching a car crash in slow motion.
Zack Polanski@zackpolanski.bsky.social · 3d agoVery disappointing from the new Prime Minister, very much sounding like the previous PM. These are among the world’s most vulnerable and desparate people. They need safe routes and humanity from responsible politicians, not grandstanding. This isn’t doing politics differently.
England received only 7% of the long-term average rainfall for July. Southern England, just 1%. Factoid: There has been a weather station in Kew Gardens for 155 years. This July was the first month ever to record 0mm of rain. Tomorrow, London will again hit 30C+ www.theguardian.com/environment/...
July set to be driest on record for England and Wales after relentless heatwaves
Climate scientist urges better planning as southern England had just 1% of long-term average rainfall last month

The Republican Party has gone full mask-off Nazi; meanwhile the media narrative being pushed 24/7 is “ahhh! Democrats are being taken over by socialist radicals!!” and their terrifying examples are Miss Rachel, a doctor who wants you to have healthcare, and the friendliest mayor in American history.

Farmer who supplies hay to me and many others yesterday said his pastures have only dried grass and without rain very soon he will have to start feeding his hay supply to his sheep, in an Irish summer -- something he has never had to in his farming life

It was always unlawful, under the Highways Act 1980. But I don't suppose Suella would know that, being a lawyer, MP and former Attorney General.
It was Spider-Man: Brand New Day

Lotta people saying it’s difficult to fuck up a Blade movie didn’t see Blade Trinity. Or the Blade TV show. But now I’ve said that, it is a fucking crime that Marvel didn’t make it work. Mahershala Ali is a wonderful actor who deserves better, and Marvel definitely screwed up on this one.
I really enjoyed Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Holland was superb, as ever, and his chemistry with Jon Bernthal made the Spidey/Punisher relationship sing. Don’t want to get into spoilers, but I’ve seen two main criticisms of the film. I sort of agree with one, but disagree with the other.
Have taken a day off work, specifically so I can go and see Spider-Man while the little man is in nursery. Because I am cool.
I still want DC and Marvel to adapt JLA / Avengers.

My son has started watching a Hot Wheels cartoon. Which I didn’t know existed until now. I know cartoons designed to sell toys are hardly new (and still work on me sometimes), but I have never seen one as blatant as this before.
150,000 people marched against anti-trans laws in London last week; not a flicker from the BBC.
12 years old now, oof, but I just remembered and still like this Nightcrawler cover.
John Woodcock resigned from Labour in 2018 to end an investigation against him into sexual harrassment, that involved his alleged victim resigning her job. But what do women's rights actually matter to JK Rowling when he's on her side when it comes to proscribing uppity trans people, eh? 1/
