Unexpectedly lovely morning for a bike ride.

A red bicycle lies on grassy ground. The area is a little mysterious, funny little hillocks with heather growing on them. Some bushy trees behind. It looks dry. The sky is a beautiful blue with a couple of wispy white clouds.

In other words, a 10 percent contraction in one of Britain’s most successful exports. If it were steel or fish or other infinitely less profitable sectors, people would be having a meltdown.

Exactly what “standards” are those, Robert? You collude with pornographers over property deals. You take dodgy donations. You whore for racists and christofascists for personal gain. You betray your political allies, friends and your country to sniff at power. You have no standards. You’re poison.

Obviously dual carriageways are variable in terms of junctions, curvature, traffic lights, roundabouts etc but looking purely at a M-way map without considering the more ‘express’ dual carriageways does I feel miss the holistic picture.

These people will eat plants or animals without thinking about those being alive. But when it comes to a mathematical formula calculated using molten sand melted into useful silicon charged with electric micro shocks generated by burning dead trees from millions of years ago. Then there’s concern?

Looks fabulous. Based on the weather forecast I shall go for a ride somewhere on Sunday. I won’t, however, be wearing my summer clothes as I was last Saturday!

Killing people doesn't unkill other people. It just causes even more dead people. In fact once you realize that, you end up being opposed to *gestures generally at everything going on right now*.

Anthropic banning “abusive or cruel behavior” toward Claude in its new usage policies is proof to me that tech companies are going to moderate violence against AI before they ever moderate violence against women and minorities

They’re live-streaming the execution of the person they think they can get away with doing that to first. It’s a test. If they can do that, they’ll expand the margins of permission.

I watched 10 mins of it and was very much struck by the weirdness of the microphones! Is that now going to be a thing? Because radio has microphones & podcasts are like radio & podcasts now have video but honestly it’s not telly even though it’s literally on the telly. Right?

Kemi Badenoch wants to exempt the family home from inheritance tax. But that creates a perverse incentive for elderly people to *upsize* to save IHT. That could double the cost of the policy, and push £100bn+ from savings into housing. A 🧵 on bad tax cuts.

Funny thing about £50 notes is that if we hadn’t pivoted to cashless they would be pretty useful now, they must be worth (a lot?) less than a £20 was when the £50 was introduced.

The “accidentally” bit feels suspicious. One, sure, but ten? Strong “nice green bottles you got there, be a shame if something were to happen to them” vibes

At least it was cold enough for my central heating to come on this morning. ‘Tis the season for handing round the yacht catalogues around the utility company boardroom tables again.

If you just substitute the words 'working age' for 'fighting age', suddenly the arrival of youngish men and women doesn't sound threatening. Rather, it sounds like exactly what we need for an ageing population.

Where I live in Yorkshire Saturday night was the coldest for about 6 months! Thankfully I went for a bike ride on Saturday morning not Sunday. Full summer kit, albeit with arm warmers.

Happy 50th anniversary to the iconic high speed train/HST/Inter City 125, which still operates on Scottish services, test trains and charters. #HST50

If the owners of Man City carry on with their scorched earth approach to defending what they have done that's really going to make me think twice about cheering for the plucky underdog UAE cycling team.

I thought similarly when I browsed the BBC news app earlier. Mason really is a pathetic excuse for a ‘journalist’. An embarrassment to Yorkshire!

No other western country takes religion as ‘seriously’ as 🇺🇸. Is it also fair to say that other countries which do take religion seriously wouldn’t have religious figures fawning over an obviously irreligious amoral buffoon, unless they were a dictatorship?
