You should go and see Rachel. She's very good, but also, the balls it takes to do a post like this - in a climate where comedians are encouraged to post nothing but wins, forever - merits your attendance on its own.

IT WAS NEVER THE IMMGRANTS IN SMALL BOATS The world is 700% richer than in 1970 but the average person is only 8% richer Because the richest 0.01% are 4000% richer We are all being robbed every second of every day, and it doesn't matter how much profit or growth there is It will never reach you

@martycricket.bsky.social 123-5. Otherwise known as a Lou Bega (although maybe this should only be used when the 5th wicket falls with the total on 123).

we went to a highly recommended pizza restaurant in Formia, Italy. the fact that the menu consisted of gorgeously made Italian pizzas with fresh local ingredients, and then also contained this monstrosity called a "pizza Americana" is S-tier trolling by the Italians

Not just another AI movie. An autonomous delivery robot drove off the end of a pier in San Diego and quickly sank. The company called it an isolated navigation error. Was this the first example of AI committing suicide due to workplace stress? No, it was pier pressure.

Yesterday, Cornwall Council voted unanimously bar two abstentions to pass a statement of ‘no confidence’ in South West Water, and called for the company to be taken back under public control. The "milestone vote" is a result of a grassroots campaign called ‘Dowr Glan’ (Clean Water in Cornish).

This is basically every story that I write about London now, you don't have to want to live with Germany bureaucracy to want someone to do very basic checks. And the 'ease of setting up a business' is great (I've done it myself! It was so easy!) but unfortunately it's created scam central nation.

As misleading headlines go, that has to be up there with some of the worst! As is the claim that "Immigration is fuelling mass unemployment among under-25s." The "shocking new study" does NOT show that at all 🙄 🧵 1/21

Express Headline:

Twenty-seven young foreign workers hired for every one Brit as immigration fuels unemployment crisis.
Immigration is fuelling mass unemployment among under-25s, according to a shocking new study.

Just heard on the BBC Olympucs coverage that after tonight's matches is the midway point in the curling, when the stones will all be rubbed with sandpaper. Apparently this will then make them curl more. Gotta admit, I'm surprised Australia aren't better at this sport.

Robert Duvall, the legendary actor whose career has spanned over six decades, has died at 95, his wife announced

A photo of Robert and Luciana Duvall with a horse and dogs

STATEMENT FROM LUCIANA DUVALL

Yesterday we said goodbye to my beloved husband, cherished friend, and one of the greatest actors of our time. Bob passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by love and comfort.

To the world, he was an Academy Award-winning actor, a director, a storyteller. To me, he was simply everything. His passion for his craft was matched only by his deep love for characters, a great meal, and holding court. For each of his many roles, Bob gave everything to his characters and to the truth of the human spirit they represented. In doing so, he leaves something lasting and unforgettable to us all. Thank you for the years of support you showed Bob and for giving us this time and privacy to celebrate the memories he leaves behind.
