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.

Ok but this is totally something Charlotte Church would do
Just realised this is referring to a church in North Carolina and not the Welsh singer

I suppose I should think about getting dressed and letting in some daylight. That sort of thing.
2.30am wasn’t happening so have opted for 5.30am instead. Looking at the score, I’m fairly happy with that choice. #TheAshes

Left my watch at Timpsons to get cleaned so have spent the last hour looking at my empty wrist to check the time.

“Are the fae open source” is the kind of deranged sentence that keeps me addicted to microblogging. Beautiful poison Rappaccini flower.

This is the correct answer.
*Leaving bloody fingernail scratches along the ground as I'm dragged out of MGM screaming "TWENTY-TWO EPISODE SEASONS FEATURING A MIX OF ONGOING LORE-DEPENDENT SERIES ARC EPISODES AND ONE-OFF PLANET OF THE WEEK STORIES IN A VARIETY OF TONES AND GENRES!!!!!!"*
So the question is obviously: what are you hoping to see in this upcoming Stargate show?
Given that this is NOT a reboot, all the old characters could make an appearance, and some abandoned storylines could be resolved through dialogue (hello SGU).

In an interview with Church Times, the Archbishop of York Cottrell talked about his visit to occupied Palestinian territory and for the first time ever publicly calls Israel's system of control over Palestinians an apartheid regime.
Cottrell also says Israel has committed genocidal acts.

I hang out on a discord that is loosely based around cricket and find myself in the position of being the hype man for Rob Hatch as a commentator on the Ashes because nobody else watches cycling.

This thread collating the Sheffield Tribune’s brilliant investigation into the spivvy lawyer threatening Yorkshire leaseholders into handing over cash is worth reading before the story goes national.
Excellent and courageous investigative journalism.
The fact that it is (apparently) legal to do this to people is utterly disgusting.

I’ve written a piece on the curious lack of media and political interest in the issues faced by our national @britishlibrary.bsky.social. This is strange given we live in a world where ideas, knowledge and research are a long-term source of innovation and insight

The British library is in crisis: why does nobody care?
The widespread indifference to the British Library's crippling cyberattack demonstrates a perilous failure to value the knowledge infrastructure vital for national prosperity

Shabana Mahmood casually saying they're gonna take migrant's jewellery off them has got me thinking about that scene in Schindler's List where the Jewish family wrap family heirlooms in bread and swallow them.

I think the reason romantasy is dwarfing sales of fantasy & sci-fi is that it's a subset of romance.
And romance is the biggest, most profitable category in literature.
Romantasy allowed romance readers, who read very widely, to take cross-genre romance mainstream & it's reaping the rewards.

I bought a fancy microwave a year ago that does convection oven stuff but I am actually quite scared of it because of the amount of smoke (steam?) that comes out of it when I do anything except basic microwaving. Did some little baked potatoes tonight and it seems ok but is this normal?
