fwiw I think Labour will U-turn on ID cards like they have U-turned on literally everything else so far. That said, I'm interesting in seeing how far I can go while refusing to get a cringe little app that probably won't even work. What are they gonna do? Arrest me? Bring it on!!!!

I received an email from Octopus today saying they're hiking their time-of-use tariff rates, in part, because consumers were too good at shifting their use to cheap periods, so they were losing money. This tells you how powerful price signals are in driving efficient use of the power system.

🤓"heh...bet you didn't know Saint George was actually Turkish!"

Saint George WAS English. He DID kill a dragon on St George's Day in 1066, then he wrote the Magna Carta with his blood, sending every European to Brexit jail. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🌹 Don't like it I'll help you pack.

I can tell if you *actually* hate AI or if you just performatively hate it because it's the "correct" socially enforced opinion in your friend circle. I know because I am also in this second group and I can spot you a mile off.

Shame there was no option for "the passing of the Town and Country Planning Act of 1947"

They should put one average-looking person on Love Island for comparison, to see if personality does matter

Excellent, now we begin the campaign to let 16 year olds buy tobacco and alcohol and lottery tickets.

As of today there are now 18 year olds in Britain who don't know a country outside of stagnation and decline...

It's not giving away the islands that bothers me, it's about paying for it. My entire life I've been told "um...we don't have enough money for nice things, sorry" and suddenly there's £30bn for a random African country to abolish their income tax.

Remember to email your Labour MP and ask them to explain why they cut PIP payments "because we can't afford it" but then simultaneously agreed to give £101 million per year to Mauritius in exchange for literally nothing.

They showed the movie adaptation in the Soviet Union as propaganda, but then had to ban it because Russian audiences were amazed that even the poorest Americans could afford a car

Interesting that the US minimum wage is so low now that it has effectively been abolished, only 0.1% of the workforce are getting paid as little as that.

For comparison 5% of the UK workforce is on our minimum wage of £12.21/hr.

It is fascinating the way you can take money from hungry children or disabled people without consequence, but try to limit the amount that goes to rich pensioners and everything implodes.

Argentinian guy's home movie from the time he visited the World Trade Center in June 2001. Except he holds the camera and talks like it's a modern vlog. Time traveller behaviour.

"Noooo!! We need to stay on permanent summer time so we have lighter evenings!!"
"Noooo!! We need to stay on permanent standard time so we have ligher mornings!!"

Hmm...What if... we had a system... that ensured we would have appropriate daylight hours for appropriate times of the year....???

20,000 useless things costing >£1 million or more? Like shooting fish in a barrel in Britain. The Youth Parliament costs £2.4m. Scrap that and it's only 19,997 to go. Nobody would miss it.
