Science you magnificent bastard

Most have a noise at low speed

Trump's attacks on the Department of Education should remind us never to elect to high office anyone without a stake in society. We suffered the same in the UK from 2010, when people who used private healthcare and private schools ripped up public services.

Never a penalty. Referee ultra biased. Point each would have been fair. I was there by the way. Up the Cherries!

A pointed and pithy letter reading as follows: I can only assume they get no more than 18 applications from people to be on The Apprentice, given what a bunch of fucking bellends they end up with every series. Sam Bamsam, Sutton Coldfield

Starmer goes full on Trump by trying to see who can burn the planet fastest On Monday, Trump announced that he was abandoning the Green New Deal. He has now cancelled nearly $300bn of planned US green spending, including support for onshore and offshore wind. He would rather ...

Starmer goes full-on Trump by trying to see who can burn the planet fastest www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/01... Starmer's plan to extend three London airports is bad regional policy, bad tourism policy and dire for the planet, but now it seems that burning the planet is the political goal.

Labour makes it clear that it’s now the champion of exploitation by big business www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/01... Labour has sacked the Chair of the Competition and Markets Authority, and has replaced them with a former director of Amazon. You could not make up a more anti-consumer policy.

Do they make him an actual fascist? That's a less important question. Regardless of what we call him, he is setting out to do what fascists do: destroying democracy to restore the brute power of empire.

Musk's fascist salutes are a signal, showing how far he intends to go. They point to the destruction of democracy he seeks, the impunity, the violent pursuit of power.
They point to the empire he wants to build, and to the degradation of all our lives as he sets out to crush our humanity.

Again- Musk’s X posts are so deranged that everyone should be writing to their MPs

…expressing concern that Musk is engaged in a disinformation campaign against the UK government - attempting to foment civil unrest in the UK and endanger the safety of politicians.

Right-wing attacks singling out Sadiq Kahn - who is obviously & demonstrably an exceptionally popular mayor as far as Londoners are concerned - are so blatantly Islamophobic & racist that we don't even say it anymore.

But we should say it. It isn't normal.

Sounds like our usual problem. Final third stuff. #afcb

The agenda of news is driven by our very right wing media, which the BBC follow. This is driven by the billionaires who own the media.
The Greens, for example have no natural media promoter.

Stadium announcement? I live in hope!

Finally moved house after a 6 month process. Surely should be easier. Scottish system for England?

Pretty Turgid half. Both teams going long unless in transition and it just gets cut out. Saying that could easily be 2 up #afcb

Yes!

Saw them at Poole Arts Centre. They had their 15 minutes of fame 😁

We couldn't afford his wages anyway

The brilliant DIIV #enginerooms #southampton

My goodness. Not pretty and we must stop being so wasteful. But grit and determination won out. You could see they were playing on empty second half. Would have lost that in the past. My beautiful Cherries #afcb

Watching a stream. Was OK despite what others may say. And we always struggle against this sort of opposition. As ever though we can't finish our chances #afcb

No it's not. They are a physical dirty team. We dominated last 25 minutes and if we could shoot would be winning.

He has a point and made in a way to wind people up. But agree we need to make cars not the default option. But that needs massive investment in public transport. It should be cheaper to travel by rail than car but it isn't. Cars are a blight on the landscape but a necessary evil at present.

As extreme weather batters the UK and the hottest year we’ve lived through (yet!) stories begin to run

It’s increasingly baffling that our news is filled with daily business and stock market updates, but rarely about the impact of that wealth extraction on people and those profits on our planet

Gus Atkinson. Sensational!

With all due respect... That's rubbish... Yes chart stuff wasn't always great... But Bowie, Neil Young, Kraftwerk, Gang of Four, Kate Bush, XTC, Can, Nick Drake, The Cure, Led Zeppelin, Ramones, Joy Division, Blondie, Velvet Underground, Talking Heads, Neu, Brian Eno, Television, plus many more 😁

Meanwhile in the States...

Huijsen rightly gets the praise tonight but Tyler Adams was fantastic. He's very vocal on the pitch. If he stays fit future captain I would think #afcb
