Great interview with @bobbyllew.bsky.social and Katie White here.

It's easy to forget sometimes that there are passionate, smart, and caring people in Labour with the current leadership

British taxpayers 'patriotically' give the Treasury over £2million voluntarily Over 60 payments have been made over the last decade

"A few millionaires handing over a little more as some kind of 'tax philanthropy' would make no difference whatsoever, as you can see from the current scheme."

The film The Incredibles is still lovely and fun.

Watched it with friends last night. There's also a series of shorts that I'd forgotten about.

I'd completely forgotten there was a sequel too! 🤔 Made me wonder if I've even seen it

Large tortoiseshell butterfly confirmed no longer extinct in UK Early spring sightings show colourful insect is a resident species for first time in decades, says conservation charity

Amidst the gloom, a small shaft of light: Large tortoiseshell butterflies confirmed no longer extinct in the UK!

Wait for it, now Trump and his dream team are going to twist Ukraine's arms to make it stop destroying Russian oil production and exports and also relieve sanctions to try and undo this global disaster.

Ukrainian biathlete Oleksandra Kononova was reprimanded for wearing earrings with the inscription “Stop War” at the 2026 Paralympics. She shared this with journalists after the individual race, where she won bronze.

Once upon a time he was their ‘monster of delusion’…

Now we’re back here again and the right‑wing press are on his side.

These papers are a disgrace.

Nuclear-capable jet bombers are *not* cheap to operate: in today's terms, think of it as costing £500,000 to move two hours' of video from the UK to AUS within 48 hours.

Back in 1961 we didn't have fibre-optic data cables. So undersea trunking couldn't really carry live video.

I am 61, 2 years younger than the first comsat (Telstar 1). Before Telstar 1, the only way to get video across the Atlantic the day it was recorded involved shipping tapes (or film!) aboard a jet. QE2's coronation was filmed and reels of film made it to Australia within 48 hours aboard RAF bombers.

Because we're all chaos gremlins

So you're saying it was a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away?

Elections bill will bring in once-in-a-generation change to voting – but misses big opportunity Today sees the first reading of the Representation of the People Bill, the government’s landmark legislation reforming how elections work. This promises to make some fundamental reform

If the government knows you are eligible to vote, you should be registered automatically. It's great to see trials in this direction in the upcoming bill

Starmer's attempt to play both sides has failed. He tried to look tough on Trump, but failed to condemn the illegal attack.

Then he let US bombers pit stop here.

He's dragged us into the war, and still managed to damage our reputation with the USA in the process.

just witnessed a murder

And if you're in the UK this happens in 3 weeks time so don't panic at seeing Phil's post 😁

Hope that finger recovers dude!

Dear UK, please send your aircraft carriers to Ukraine. We actually appreciate our allies.

I've just finished watching season 2 of Fallout... And then this 😬

Two scientists walk through a cluttered old-fashioned science laboratory. The female scientist says “Analogue instruments! Paper records! Chalk boards! I thought you'd agreed to modernise the laboratory?” The male scientist replies “That's what i'm so excited about: we have moved to cloud-based storage for our data!” They step out onto a balcony. She says: “Please tell me you haven't built a library zeppelin” This is exactly what he has done. It floats across the sky and he adds “It's got a fax machine!”

I have publicly wondered that 🤔 if not, is hannah-montana OS the last bastion of freedom we have?! 😁 Get installing folks!

I liked that if you stood still too long the tentacles grabbed you and dragged you back into the water to your death

Over 1000 civilians dead, and we're letting Trump use UK bases to further his war.

Britain should stand firm against Trump's illegal warmongering, and stop these bombers landing on UK soil.

Iv been following Alex's progress making this over the last few years, Its a real labour of love and such an impressive achievement from basically a solo dev. If you are into basebuilders but also like a story to accompany you then go check it out!

Gas is making energy more expensive again. Get solar panels, battery (even a small one), and ditch your gas supply if you can.

It's not the future it's here right now, trust me, I'm just missing the battery part.

Fossil fuels are the problem.

Energy insecurity. Higher bills. Exposure to catastrophic economic consequences of Trump's wars.

That's what happens when you fail to shift fast enough to renewables, and cut back on support for clean energy.

Let's cut bills & create jobs through a clean power revolution.
