I have a group whatsapp chat set up for the sole purpose placing football bets at the weekend that is now digging into the minutiae of Andy Burnhams pension reforms. You love to see it.

One reason to ignore Ed Zitron on AI is that he appears to not know basic stuff about how the products of the companies he's criticising.

I hadn't realised until now that both of those big Reform donors are from Sheffield. Didn't they fancy investing in Sheffield United?

The Home Secretary should be relieved of her duties and the entire operational command of HIW Police should be subject to disciplinary action. Thugs are currently feeling empowered to attempt pogroms because police continue to be disinterested in preventing them. It really is that simple.

Love that people are still releasing games for the master system in 2026. Also, this could easily pass for a Megadrive game.

I was 13 when I heard her story and it made a lasting impression on me. If you haven't heard of Neerja Bhanot, today would be a good day to look her up.

You shouldn't need to be charismatic to run a political party. But if you're a charisma-free dickhead, then yeah, that's a major problem.

Another thing to note here is how exceptionally well built this TrimUi Brick Pro emulation handheld is for £85. You can get cheap, Chinese and good these days. You don't have to pick 2 out of 3.

I was pretty sceptical with @aspire.dev when it first came out, but it's been worth its weight in gold for my team.

It happened to us, they knew we were desperate to wrap things up by a certain date, and we ended up dropping by 10k. Still pisses me off when i think about it.
