Chairman Moët

I often think people overreact to stuff like this. What's Starmer supposed to do at McSweeney's leaving drinks, stand up and denounce him for fucking absolutely everything up?

The internet tells me today is David Tibet's birthday so time for me to tell the time I was at an art event, Louis Wain psychedelic cat pictures if I remember correctly, where he was in attendance and Ed Davey was doing the speech for it and referred to him as David Tibbet.

Even Starmer, the lukewarm milky coffee of politicians whose whole raison d'etre was to tickle Trump's belly has finally had enough and doesn't care WHO HEARS ABOUT IT

This does feel like a moment where the Trump regime finally burns through any last remnants of good faith countries in Europe, Middle East and Asia had. What that means I don't know but the US didn't have to engineer a situation where we found out.

Trump rails against traditional US allies building up renewable capacity and then does this to them.

Lee Kuan Yew was the only one to be born a Harry?

What a load of vegetarian meatballs

Sure the news but I'm just struck someone named their child Bobson Dugnutt. Sorry I mean Markwayne Mullin.

Fair point.

Paul Krugman on the cost of the Iran conflict and what that tells us:

NEW ANALYSIS: UK emissions fell 2.4% in 2025 as coal fell to a 400-year low. Incredibly, we used less coal last year than than in 1600, when Queen Elizabeth I was on the throne and Shakespeare was writing Hamlet.

All the details in our article: www.carbonbrief.org/...

Ukraine were trained in how to fight by NATO countries and they abandoned the taught approach because it didn't work. That should already tell people that maybe instead of mocking Zelensky we should be asking him what he can teach our armed forces.

The US administration suddenly realising "Oh hang on! What if we get Ukraine to help us with Iranian drones?" just shows the lack of strategic thinking in the Trump administration. UKR should already be a key US ally with knowledge in how to fight the latest form of warfare flowing both ways.

Zelensky should call Trump PT Barnum and tell him to wear a proper suit first

As someone having a lot of medical appointments at the moment I've been thinking similar things about the software GP receptionists almost always have trouble using. Two people staring at a screen in bewilderment, one saying "try clicking up here" while a queue slowly builds on the other side.

Yeah in the Cotswolds. And John Major took Boris Yeltsin to one too which is a bit more on brand,

If the internet ever sees the "ramen" I just made the 12 year old I'm getting cancelled.

Railing against imaginary Sharia law in the UK while praising a place that actually has a legal system based upon it.

We increasingly get Chinese tourists who I assume are students on a day trip from Manchester. I can understand that but this?

The only people watching the T20 cricket match in this pub in a small Cheshire town are two lads speaking, I think, Japanese. I really want to know how the hell they've ended up in this situation but I'm also English so I'm just going to ignore them.

China has more solar capacity than the rest of the world combined

I'm assuming the Telegraph editors meant the headline to be deeply anti-Miliband even though almost everyone else is going to read it and think "Go Ed!"

Destroying any remnants of an Irani state and sparking the flames of a civil war/ethnic conflict to fill the resultant vacuum seems like an absolutely terrible idea to everyone **apart from** those crazy dickheads at the US state department

"Not a war of our choice, we only started it"

The problem for the pro-Trump right is the JCPOA, demonstrably, prevented Iran from getting nuclear weapons. Trump got rid of it, purely because it was seen as Obama's deal and so now they're two weeks from getting nuclear weapons? Sounds like a huge failure from Trump foreign policy.

I know I didn't pay super attention during physics GSCE but the idea that a nuclear weapon is a 2 week project doesn't sound wholly convincing to me.

yeah, always struck by how when there were/are student riots in South Korea, the police and the kids have similar training in taekwondo because it's so embedded in their sense of who they are.
