DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.

Map showing the sea between the east side of the UK and northwest Europe renamed as the Gulf of Skegness.

I can't keep up with all this renaming of seas and lands.

It’s all just ridiculous, and this is merely the start.

Perfect, particularly the trousers.

Quite impressed with how quickly and conclusively they dealt with that idiot. CoE take note.

The inventor of the speakerphone function should be arrested, as should the person who showed my MiL how to use it.

I mean, what is the old fool going on about?

Trump is generally weak, confusing, and unimpressive, but he’s never weaker, more confusing, and less impressive than when he’s dealing with the immediate aftermath of a tragedy.

How can anyone in their right mind ignore this letter from Caroline Kennedy about her cousin, RFK Jr.?

Just look at that! Beautiful.

I’ve reached the point in middle age where I’ve been idly researching those dedicated battery storage cases on Amazon, and this might be the very nudge I need.

That’s *dark*, and particularly harsh on Kylie.

What’s the Yorkshire Post’s editorial stance these days?

Is the “are they really fascists?” debate settled yet?

That was a disturbing, muddled mess of a speech. It’s ideology without any practical means.

AC to DC Playlist · Mic Wright · 14 items

I was making a more complicated playlist but then I decided today needed something beautifully dumb… here’s an hour and change of AC/DC songs that will switch off your brain. open.spotify.com/playlist/1lc...

That soundtrack is sublime.

Important work. Could you also disable speakerphone, too?

None of that matters. These people have made their minds up and they’re determined to undermine literally anything good that happens here.

that the article describes the new city centre bus loop to serve the main zones, that the West Yorkshire tram system will initiate between Leeds and Bradford, & that there are 20 car parks with thousands of spaces.

But none of that is good enough when you've got an axe to grind, eh?

This comment from a T&A article on how work to improve the centre of Bradford is reaching a conclusion. Might be worth noting that Bradford is served by 2 rail stations, it's the regional interchange for most buses….

I genuinely find that appointment difficult to comprehend.

All-purpose Christmas background music

Here’s an all purpose Christmas playlist that should see you through any awkward background music related issues. open.spotify.com/playlist/1Kc...

It’s a ridiculous notion. Certainly not led by the science of it.

Day 11 of December, and ‘fruit’ is a distant memory, replaced entirely by mince pies.

Does this strengthen or weaken Putin, though?

Some good - and encouraging - background to the Syrian situation.

DADS: always carry around something random to innocently pass to your daughter just before she gets on the train.

New and improved recipe this year!

Batch No. 1. Game on.
