Wonder if that SEVEN part 6 music doc on the Sex Pistols covers the part where the rest of the band tour with the boy from Gallows as a singer because Lydon’s such an insufferable bawbag?

Duhan actually scoring near the posts for a change 🤭

I've realised what "See it, say it, sorted" is advertising: driving

I'm at a station and there's a constant barrage of announcements about danger. *See it say it... Transport Police... Mind the gap... For your own safety..." You know what doesn't constantly tell me I'm in danger? My car

Meet the AI workers who tell their friends and family to stay away from AI When the people making AI seem trustworthy are the ones who trust it the least, it shows that incentives for speed are overtaking safety, experts say

New Sunderland-made Nissan LEAF qualifies for £3,750 discount under government’s EV grant in a boost for North East manufacturing Vs Rachel Reeves to curb high-end bike purchases in Cycle to Work scheme

Compare and contrast the Government language.

£3,750 EV grant on a £35k car: ‘helping families’.

Cycle to Work: ‘subsidising leisure’.

And yet cycling delivers TEN TIMES the impact of electric cars for reaching net zero. It’s almost like narrative, not data, is driving policy.

Frames from a Stranger Danger public information film. The predator asks a school 'Would you like to see an AI summary?'

Meanwhile, Sunday’s rugby was a great argument in favour of a paywall 🤪

This mural has gone up in Kingston, ostensibly for Christmas but AI has ensured it's actually to celebrate the return of our dark lord Cthulhu

when I was at google, their class on licenses basically said "we can't use any license that's funny"

so I suggest everyone license their software as funny as possible

The high water mark of Prime Ministers over the last sixteen years was Gordon Brown secretly calling someone a bigot. Because they were a bigot.

And we threw him out of office for it so now we have Kier Starmer robbing asylum seekers at gunpoint.

Well done, lads. Go us.

Good Afternoon, “Your Party” was a six month sociological study conducted by Royal Holloway, University of London. We are now complete with our study. Thank you for your time.

I do hope those sensibles telling me that Labour's new policy was fair and sensible are enjoying Tommy Robinson's endorsement of it this morning.

That's who you've joined.

Tommy Robinson.

"Rugby is an 80 minute game," says Gregor Townsend for the umpteenth time after his Scotland side lose a game by switching off for a large part of it.

Maybe he should have told the players that at some point during the coaching sessions during his lengthy tenure in charge, eh?

I don’t even care any more. Which says it all.

Deport politicians. Keep refugees.

SNP election campaign that parodies a Blink 182 single cover.

More songs about shagging pets 🤪

Huge Range Rover that looks like a tank.

They market their cars as weapons and we allow them on the same roads as children cycling to school.

And I still get weird middle-aged men in my notifications obfuscating for and defending this.

This is not a serious society.

The B-52s are awesome and the Stone Roses are one of the most overrated bands this side of Oasis. Easy pick for me.

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

Which has the most embarrassingly outdated line-up? TRNSMT or Dundee’s “Discovery” festival? 🤔

post a non-religious image you think of as holy

Step 1: deliberately scare people with misinformation and lies about what a proposed policy or plan will do. Step2: wait for misinformed people to complain. Step 3: say that “clearly people are concerned,“ so we should “listen to the people“ and reject the plan. The Populist Playbook

Step 4: mainstream media “reports the controversy” rather than the fact it was manufactured, and the amplify the quotes of those who manufactured it.. Step5: other elected leaders who know the truth, still vote against the good plan or policy, because they’re too afraid of the “heat.“

Have you heard of “The Populist Playbook?”

A few years ago, I posted what I still consider one of my most important messages.

It was about “The Populist Playbook” that I’ve watched play out often over my 33+ years of city planning.

Since then, it’s only gotten worse.

Do the steps sound familiar?

Got it with the green screen and then eventually got the modulator and a colour TV as an awful lot of games were unplayable on green screen. Amstrad Action used to tell you in the reviews which ones worked.

Car brand BYD's new SUV ad pokes fun at people walking and cycling, comparing them to Horse & Carts.

It joins a long list of car ads that sell a false promise of convenience and aspiration while punching down at sustainable transport modes.

So I made it a bit more realistic...

Ignore the howls around pay-per-mile, chancellor. We can’t afford not to tax electric cars The issue of how motoring taxes should change as we decarbonise the economy has been dodged for too long. Car salesmen need to get real

I agree with a pay per mile driving charge for EVs.
But a key fact that many are missing is that fuel duty has been frozen since 2010 and petrol is cheaper now than 2 decades ago.
It's about time conventional car drivers actually started paying a fair share too.
