Tate brothers bail denial has lots of funny evidence. Including them boasting in social media about ignoring court dates and using multiple passports, including forged ones to jump jurisdictions “I'm untouchable because I've spent a decade spreading myself into MANY grids.” Apparently you didn't
Over the past year, lots of people have asked me what I think of the argument Jean-Baptiste Fressoz makes in More and More and More - that sources of energy are only ever additive. TLDR: not much. mliebreich.substack.com/p/more-and-m...
More and More and More - or Less?

1/ New from James Bloodworth: “On speaking ill of the dead.” Yes, gloating over a death is bad form—but we’re now asked to go further, to stand in silence while the deceased is sainted. That’s a demand worth resisting. 🧵 www.forthedeskdrawer.com/p/on-speaking-ill-of-the-dead

Krista D Ball is Canada's Snarky Potato@kristadb1.bsky.social · 4d agoAll right, I need to explain how my placemat is classist AND ableist. Buckle up.
There's a similar experience in the Museum of the Home in Hackney where they have a typical room from like the early 2000s. Felt like violence ngl
Stephanie Porras@periodeye.bsky.social · 5d agoThis is a triggering image of a museum display in the natural history museum in DC about life before smartphones. Me and a fellow 40+ person were laughing at how we are now LITERAL MUSEUM PIECES. MY teen was like did you have a clear phone? An address book? A book of maps. Yes, yes I did. 🫠🫠🫠
Solar output in the UK recorded an all-time high in July, reaching 3.2 TWh. 33% higher than July last year. Accelerating solar deployment coincided with a historically sunny month to produce this record. Solar power is delivering when heatwaves are at their worst.
July 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.
"TikTok is just AI slop, teenagers dancing, and political misinformation" SKILL ISSUE. MY TikTok feed is 100% the guy structuring an elephant puppet around a toddler carrier and using it to invade Italy via Hannibal Barca's 218BC route through the Alps. vm.tiktok.com/ZN8JcuTJd/
Crilly did you kick me up the arse?? No, no, I was merely...
Tom@tdawks.bsky.social · 3w agoA good name for a bus stop, and also a fun party game for bishops.
This disingenuous commentary doesn’t help anyone. Frauds start unravelling pretty quickly. That you apparently cannot afford to put your oven or treat yourself is quickly undermined by the question “so why are you spending £50 per week on petrol?” Then, it turns out, she has an agent and /1
Ash@queerash.bsky.social · 3w agoElaine 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)
Full throated endorsement of this post. Dtf St Louis is the best tv of the year.
Rob Delaney@robdelaney.bsky.social · last mo.DTF St Louis is sublime? Why didn’t it break through more? It’s NOT what I thought it was. Beautifully crafted. Much artier and weirder than I thought it would be. Highly recommend. Need to know about why the police station is unnecessarily wonderful - like a theatre set for a Kafka adaptation. Love
UK remains undefeated at banning things for other people.

There's a market gap for Randy's Big Bucket of Seasoning ™️ to come out with a Now With Added Bleach variant.
Saeed Jones@theferocity.bsky.social · 4w agoSo this parasite situation …what CAN we eat???? I just threw out a salad because I’m scared.
NEW | Solar generated a QUARTER of EU electricity in June 🇪🇺⚡️ Solar was also the single largest source of power generation (25%) ahead of nuclear (21%), gas (15%) and wind (14%). Five years ago, in 2021, solar was still at 10% in June.
Ryanair are going to start charging more to get a non-window seat, aren’t they.
This Fess would also work if the husband was 20 years younger than them. Rather than the stupid Gen X, Millennial classifications we should have a name for the one (1) generation born between ~1975 and ~1995 who actually grew up knowing how computers work.
fesshole 🧻@fesshole.bsky.social · last mo.My husband is 20 years older than me and I absolutely adore everything about him. Apart from his computer skills- trying to explain to him where his files are kept on his laptop makes me want to smother him with a pillow in his sleep.
The yanks are radicalising me into supporting England tonight and I don't like it.
There are people in Ireland who say this about an island with a population lower than it had in 1840. It starts with the racism them everything is back filled to justify that as a conclusion.
Natasha Devon@natashadevon.bsky.social · last mo.Can’t stop thinking about the bloke who rang my show last night to insist there was a ‘scientific consensus’ that the uk is ‘beyond optimal population capacity’ and when pushed for evidence to back up this extraordinary claim replied ‘David Attenborough says the earth is overpopulated’. 🤪😬🙃
Absolute genius move by someone at the school fare. That's going to do numbers.
NEW podcast w @katemac.bsky.social On Politics of Techno-optimism. open.spotify.com/episode/4AVR... Why are some technological solutions getting enormous attention & money (eg. AI or escaping to Mars or capture carbon) while genuine technological revolutions like solar & batteries get blocked.
🥵Why are so many Europeans/Britons unnecessarily sweating through a heatwave without cooling? Why are portable AC units so crap? The answers are both interesting and maddening. My latest on air conditioning👇 edconway.substack.com/p/the-missin...
