Surely we technically found the first Planet 9 back in 1930. We called it Pluto. It was, of course, downgraded in 2006, leaving us with the present eight planets. If they do find a new Planet 9, they should choose a name beginning with P to keep the old mnemonics intact! 🔭🪐 #Astronomy

Despite their many severe wrongdoings, Manchester City are going to win the #PremierLeague, aren’t they? If they do, the Premier League could lose a lot of credibility. #LIVMNC

One of my pet peeves is pedestrian crossing lights that remain just a little bit too long on green, letting dozens of cars through whilst I am waiting to cross the road. It’s like pedestrians are an afterthought (and because of that, I missed my train into work today by seconds). Not good. 😕

This increasingly feels like I’m watching a match on FIFA or FC, where England is being played by someone who has played the game for years, whilst Croatia is being played by someone who’s playing the game for the very first time. #NationsLeague #CROENG

Was Richard E Grant’s admission that he is a traitor a shrewd move, or a stupid one? This single question is doubtless now dividing the country in a way that hasn’t been seen since Brexit. #TheCelebrityTraitors

So Spurs could end up finishing the season in 18th, but avoid relegation because Manchester City would already be relegated. Sounds about right. 😄 #THFC

This is very sad. I find it tragic that Andy Burnham’s dad never realised that his son was Prime Minister, due to Alzheimer’s. My condolences are with Andy Burnham and his family. 😢

On September 11, 2001, countless heroes answered the call to help—and among them were brave search-and-rescue dogs who worked tirelessly through unimaginable conditions. Today, we honor these remarkable four-legged heroes and the important role they played during one of America’s darkest days.

I was in school at the time of the 9/11 attacks, 25 years ago today. Indeed, I was in an English class, studying Lord of the Flies. It wasn’t until I got home afterwards and saw the rolling news on TV when I realised the full horror of what was happening. As a teenager, it was shocking to see.

Well, it’s a defeat to Newcastle and we’re still yet to score a point, but we are basically the Trigger’s broom of teams at the moment. We still need to (pardon the pun) find our feet. There’s no need to panic. At least, not yet. #TOTNEW #THFC

I would amuse myself with the crisis that Manchester United have found themselves in. However, Spurs’ score against Brentford is even more awful. Well, it’s only the first game of the season, and it wouldn’t be the #PremierLeague without United and Spurs in crisis mode already. #BRETOT #THFC

I really can’t complain about Spurs’ activity in this summer’s transfer window (unlike previous seasons). The question now is whether this immense spending will show in a significantly improved Premier League performance. Let’s hope so. #COYS #THFC

Starting the weekend with an #EmergencyAlert, basically stating not to use disposable barbecues or undertake other risky activities due to the risk of wildfires during the ongoing heatwave. I understand this information is important, but is an emergency alert an appropriate way of delivering it?
An emergency alert delivered by the government at 7pm on the 14th August 2026, which reads the following.

“Severe Alert
Issued by the UK Government

There is a very high risk of wildfires nationally.
Residents, landowners and visitors should not undertake any activity that could start a fire, including disposable barbecues, firepits, garden incinerators or fireworks. Even a small flame can rapidly develop into a major wildfire placing lives, homes, businesses and emergency responders at risk.

Follow official updates and report signs of fire immediately by calling 999. Search gov.uk/alerts
for more information.”

One of the trending headlines on Bluesky at the time of writing this post is “Farage wins Clacton seat”. Considering that the by-election only started at 7am this morning and the result won’t be announced until tomorrow morning, Bluesky must have a crystal ball. #ClactonByElection

The bizarre thing is that, other than Reform, none of the mainstream parties are running. The upcoming Clacton by-election is really just an ego trip for Farage. Of course, it would be spectacular if Farage lost to Count Binface (who, apparently, is the Establishment). #VoteBinface

I am watching #CasinoRoyale, and am thinking that the password that Bond uses for the wire transfer is the name of his femme fatale, Vesper. Surely it would have been obvious for Le Chiffre to guess that and get the money back from Bond, without being killed by his underworld clientèle?
