Despite the endless talk in Westminster about how well Kemi Badenoch is doing, the Conservatives were beaten into *fifth* place here, and were over 5,000 votes behind Restore UK. At some point delusions around Badenoch need to make contact with reality.

While only 13% of people live in a 1-person household, 30% of households have 1 person. I think this is part of the reason people underestimate the level of demand for smaller (e.g., 1-bedroom) apartments.

I called into Pickering on the way home from a work trip yesterday, and was lucky to bump into 60163 Tornado - the '21st century steam locomotive', completed in 2008, the first since 1960. The #NYMR never disappoints. #Railways #Steam

Google has also decided to effectively kill the desktop version of Google Earth Pro - which has been a genuinely useful mapping tool for many years. They’ve apparently decided those resources are better spent allowing users to burn AI credits on creating satellite imagery disinformation.

It’s a sexual orientation that is less about wanting to fuck women and more about blowing out a volcanic ash cloud of negativity about women’s bodies in the hope that some of it will land on a woman, and that woman will, if only for a moment, feel as shitty about herself as they do about themselves.

My secret, Cap, is that I'm *always* angry about old books. For instance, here's a tiny slice of the millions of books 1931-1986 that have no commercial value, that are digitized, but that we're unable to use in large-scale research because they are illegal to share or display.

If your vote is undecided in the Clacton by-election this might be the clincher for you

I don’t usually discuss politics on here, it’s rarely worth the grief in our increasingly polarised country. However, I feel compelled to draw attention to point 17 of Count Binface’s newly released 20-point manifesto:
“The hand dryer in the gents’ toilet at the Great Himalayas restaurant, Southport, to be moved to a more sensible position.”
As it happens, the Great Himalayas is my favourite restaurant in Southport, and Natasha and I have eaten there many times.
Having investigated the matter with our friends in the local community, I can confirm that Binface really knows what he’s talking about. At last, a politician addressing the issues that affect ordinary people.
