The careers teacher said I'd amount to nothing. But I've done well for the last decade as an extra. I specialise in what my agent calls "middle aged fat bloke"

The “Kill Line” Economy
“Kill line” is a gaming term for the condition where you are technically still alive, but you are no longer resilient: one mistake, one unlucky hit, one missed input, and you fail.

Wishing you all a 2026 filled with biking, the most efficient way you can travel on earth.

And the most fun🚲❤️
Remember this one? “Humans aren’t very efficient movers—until you put us on a bicycle, when we become some of the most energy-efficient land travelers in the animal kingdom.” Proven science via Scientific American @sciam.bsky.social #CityMakingMath
The Most Efficient Traveler Isn’t a Bird or a Fish—It’s You on a Bike

“Taking the data and turning it into a story” always makes it seem as if the data itself spontaneously appeared from nowhere. It too appeared from a story, frequently untold but critical to its birth.

Glorious, cathartic, taking no shit at all, Stewart Lee.

Brexit: “like someone stepping round a massive pile of dogshit on the living room carpet. Every day. For nine years.”

If only all our media could be as ruthlessly challenging as this.

Huge respect to the papers for finding both an 88 year old worried about the tax bill on her 6 bedroom Kensington house and a 20 year old fretting about only being able to save £12k a year tax free.
Top work all around. These are not easy case studies to find.
