Feature Request for Amazon: give me a "Only Genuine" filter. If I search for an Apple Charger, I'm not looking for a charger compatible with Apple. If I search Oral B Tootbrush Heads I'm not looking for compatible ones.

TIL: In the UK, the law against carrying knives includes religious exemptions. As if religious knives were less sharp. I'll sit here waiting for the religious exemption to carrying explosive on airplanes and then stop flying, I guess?

The flotilla events are a ‘Trump level’ masterclass on how to create a diplomatic crisis out of thin air just to make a point that you decide who lives and who dies. And the only way diapers, bandages and canned peas can be ‘a threat’ is if you don’t want the recipients to use them.

Complexities of having family spread over three countries: I just spent the morning comparing nappy brands and features because, turns out, Pampers Baby Dyr are not the same everywhere despite having the same name and packaging.

Has anyone else become *way* more conscious about travel destinations in the last 2/3 years? I went from literally only having China and North Corea on my "no fly" list to a list of 10+ countries where I wouldn't feel safe / wouldn't consider getting back home back a given.

Trump and Netanyahu are going to nuke Teheran and there is nothing we can do to prevent it. An 80 and a 77 years old are defining the future we will live in, for reasons I can’t even begin to figure out.

It's sad to see the US resorting to lies and strategies that so far we had only seen in dictatorships. This is there for everyone to see: - Trump, June 2025: "Iran's nuclear threat has been obliterated" - Trump, February 2026: "Iran was an imminent nuclear threat" Only one can be true. Pure logic.

Two weeks into parenting, honest review: each individual event is less intense than a sev2, the big difference is that you’re always on-call either as primary or secondary. You can’t take time off, ever. Some stats, for number nerds:

Our new report: local political parties are renting out office space to MPs — who claim the cost on expenses. But in most cases, they pay no tax on that income — or on rent from local businesses. We reviewed 630 sets of accounts. What we found is a systemic failure. 🧵

Politics of the last few weeks are just unreal. - Trump: China is imposing 67% tariffs on us, we’ll respond with 34% - China: fine, we’ll do 34% too - Trump: if you do 34% we do 84% How does this even make sense? How do people not realise the 67% was totally made up?

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

The surprising thing about the North Hyde / Hayes substation fire is that London Heathrow's operations immediately decided to close the airport for 24 hours, well before the recovery time was known. Does anyone know why? Any guess? Why pushing out recovery so far so early?
