"quarter of the typical energy bill in 2024 was profit. That is equivalent to every household paying £416 a year so other people can grow rich. The water industry tells a similar story. Almost a third of the average bill goes towards funding shareholder dividends and interest payments."

It'd be nice if the UK Greens and Scottish Greens could get their collective acts together. This separation of both parties does nobody any favours.

Well, I don't watch all the ones on during the day. But I like Mastermind and Only Connect on a Monday night.

Surely Northern Ireland has its own channel it can show the fitbaw on? I want Only Connect!

Kenneth "Kenny" McLean is a bit of a liability for Scotland. The loveable rogue that he is.

A great bit from Al Pacino’s autobiography when Diane Keaton finds out he’s broke.

Of all the games of football I've watched, this is definitely one of them.

Was he in it? I didn't see anyone other than Charlotte Church.

Newsnight coverage exclusively about how Labour and the Tories compare to Reform. No mention of any other party, unless they stuck a bit on at the end after I'd switched off.

I'm Jewish. I'm also Mancunian.

Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kunesberg during their conference.

Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say?

"Protests Are Highly Effective, Met Police Confirm"

Imagine Starmer's government put even a fraction of the effort they use for denying his role in the genocide into doing literally anything positive.

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed

student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism

teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

Enjoyed this sbemail reference in AC Valhalla.

Blustery day, isn't it? Here's the National Grid: Live generation data. Wind and solar are generating 74.2% of our electricity. Gas is generating 13.1%. And yet our household electricity prices are pegged to... the volatile price of gas. Which is the basis on which the right attacks... renewables.

ALIEN logo being build and the E has no middle line

The ALIEN logo

Every time I watch ALIEN I am transfixed thinking to myself "there's no way they've left themselves enough room to get the third horizontal line in that E without it looking like a squashed-in mess!" but no, every single time there it is, and it's beautiful. Most tense part of the movie tbh.

That Peacemaker intro, but. Makes you forget all about shite football for a bit.

I've genuinely spent more time looking at my phone than the telly.

At least Peter Lawwell has a nice tan.

Might just be me, but maybe setting your club up as a retirement home for bang-average EPL goalkeepers is a bad idea. #CelticFC

I just Googled if there was a name for this and it suggests Bibliomania or Tsundoku, but both seem to describe buying books and not reading them.

That's not me, though. I read them. I mean... I buy books more frequently than I finish them, but that's not the same thing, surely?

Help to buy more books.

Cannot stop buying books. I need help.

I'll sometimes fire up Watch Dogs Legion just to run over londonders

The final scene from Twin Peaks, Series 2, except instead of Evil Cooper it's Sir Keir Starmer, grinning & smashing his bleeding head against his image in the mirror, which instead of BOB is Tony Blair. There never was a Good Starmer and he's not in the Black Lodge, however.

For no particular reason, here's the Best UK Politics Meme Ever

One thousand, baybee!

Exactly. Plus it was seasons 1-10 not any of this modern woke nonsense.

Smashed those Simpsons questions on Mastermind. Fuck yer Chopin and Samuel Beckett nonsense.

Sometimes I think about my 2015 save file for Alien: Isolation. Still hiding in that locker from the xenomorph.

Abandoned forever cos I'm a big shitebag.
