Just seen an ad with the goddess Gillian Anderson saying “we don’t age we just upgrade.” What a load of bollocks cosmetics firms spout.

This photo is straight out of the camera. I cropped it but that’s it. It’s a shot of the girders in the roof of Waterloo station reflected in the screen of my iPhone, #photography

There’s a global boom in solar—except in the United States — Ars Technica The economic case for solar power is stronger than ever.

Renewable energy is the future and most countries are really using it. Except USA and here, Reform and the @conservatives.bsky.social want to stop it, utter stupidity.

'Mankeeping' Might Explain Why More Straight Women Are Staying Single — HuffPost UK Men deserve opportunities to be vulnerable. But women are not an infinite resource for managing the emotions of men.

TBH i can’t help feel they just look for stuff to write. I may be wrong but can’t help feeling that more women are staying single because they choose to.

The grooming problem: some of England’s worst areas are in the capital — The Times and The Sunday Times Three London boroughs were among the worst areas in England last year for child sexual exploitation cases that were referred to social services, analysis of government figures shows. Islington, Barkin...

I see from these figures that devoutly white county Derbyshire has the worst problem.

The Moffat Era and some Chibnall episodes looked fantastic on much less money. Get the right lead and slow down the narratives - stop trying cram everything in - and it should be fine. Get next gen show runner OR give JMS his long deserved shot.

It’s so that when he fixes the next election he has troops ready.

Reform’s Kruger under fire for warning of ‘LGBT-supporting’ left-wing parties — The Standard East Wiltshire MP Danny Kruger said the UK could be led by an ‘appalling Hamas-supporting, LGBT-supporting nationalist party’.

Danny Kruger is awful. “All the things that the British people have rejected time and again.” So when did the British people reject LGBT??? That’s what he’s saying in this article.

Santander urges ministers to intervene in UK car finance compensation scheme — The Guardian Lender’s chief executive says redress proposals could affect jobs, supply chains and broader UK economy

It’s true isn’t it? Capitalists and Tories want socialism when it bails them out. apple.news/AZwUAsd9NQsq...

Reform UK would let ministers ignore international law, Kruger says Party’s Doge chief says he would cut civil service and close six government offices – most of which are already closing

Always about how they will cut, never any detail abut what they will do instead. And always just being slavish copies of Trump. How poor.

The biggest problem that the UK faces is that there’s a whole subclass who’ve never done a days thought in their lives? Intellectual scroungers just repeating tired old extremist slogans given to them without them making any effort at all. Need to get these scroungers off intellectual welfare.

One things for sure, the anti green mob and their Reform reps are being left behind by history.
