Most pleased by this picture I took of Nelson's column on Tuesday morning. Right time, right place.

happy sunday, remember that you are completely expendable to your employer and that when you die they will forget you ever existed within weeks and easily replace you

Matthew McConaughey says he wants a private LLM, fed only with his books, notes, journals, and aspirations, so he can ask it questions and get answers based solely on that information, without any outside influence.

"Political violence" is a term that exists to suggest a moral distinction between "violence against politicians" and "violence by politicians" - so that one can be condemned while the other can be normalized. Obviously, no such distinction exists in reality: violence is violence.

Ok so when Microsoft was making the first Xbox I was doing Flash ads for them and they had an 800 page brand standards binder and when I used a green that was, and I quote, 6% off, I got my ass chewed out. Fucking losers now. Have some goddamn self respect.

2. They all chortle along, and then suddenly they mean it. This is what we saw when Boris Johnson became Prime Minister. It was still all one big laugh - cheer up, he isn't serious - then 200,000 people were dead with Covid.

There are only three political positions in America today 1) I like the fascism 2) I'll acquiesce to the fascism (reasons for this one vary: cowardice, access, denial, misguidedly thinking that acquiescence is savvy, etc) 3) I oppose the fascism The rest is details

If you stack £1 milion worth of £10 notes the stack is about the height of a three storey house. If you do the same with £1 billion, the stack is as high as commercial aircraft fly. Stop valorising billionaires. They're Smaug the dragon, sitting on their piles of gold. And Smaug's the bad guy.

Starmer's strategy of copying his competitors' policies is a disgrace. "Those fellas with the black shirts draw a good crowd... Let's do that." "Hassling trans people gets clicks, let's do that." "Racism polls well, let's do that." The man couldn't stick to a principle if it was nailed to him.

An anniversary worth marking. I'm sure we're going to see the very people who have trashed its legacy seek to appropriate WW2 today - so let's remember what was really fought for: peace, a more united Europe, a land fit for heroes (mark 2) and the defeat of fascism.

These are real images of exoplanets. Four super-Jupiters, imaged 10 times over 12 years around a star 133 lightyears away. These are real, giant worlds, out there in the dark. And we can see them.

Reform UK's manifesto, if you haven't been completely written off from work they will stop your benefits after 4 months. I expect this will actually impact a lot of people voting Reform. Wake up and realise what you are voting for.

Astronomers say they have found the strongest indication of life beyond our solar system, on a planet 124 light-years away called ‘K2-18b.’ While they have not declared the finding of life, they detected “potential biosignatures” that are typically produced by living organisms like marine algae.
