I mean obviously telling them to read the standard won’t get you any further, but it does help with the ol’ righteous fury.

Been to see The Secret Agent. 1. Who was the secret agent of the title? 2. An hour too long. 3. The alleged black humour was a bit thin on the ground. 4. No, it shouldn’t win Best Picture.
Still, a grim evocation of place, with some good performances. 3.5/5

In 2001, magistrates found that this year's Crufts winner kept kennels in such a disgusting state that a cocker spaniel developed a chronically-infected ear leading to surgical removal.

If you don’t know David Byrne’s latin period from the early 90s, you really should. This is Make Believe Mambo, from the fantastic album Rei Momo. youtu.be/wiruARgmQ34

Certain*. It flies at the ceiling and flips upside down, using the rest of its momentum to carry it the last of the way.

*I am a guy and think I saw something about this once.

Reaching net zero by 2050 ‘cheaper for UK than one fossil fuel crisis’ Climate change committee finds move to renewable energy would also bring health, economic and security benefits

Clean energy is far cheaper AND safer than relying on fossil fuels.

Speeding up the transition is the best way to protect households from future price spikes.

RIP Tony Hoare, inventor of quicksort and computer science pioneer.

I had the pleasure of running into him once or twice at Microsoft Research, mostly after he’d officially retired but kept showing up anyway.

Cover story from The Lancet, one of the world's most prestigious and high-impact general medical journals, that says "The destruction that Kennedy has wrought in 1 year might take generations to repair, and there is little hope for US health and science while he remains at the helm.

Oh god, there’s an MMA fighter called Danny Mainus, and a YT vid of an aussie commentator pronouncing it “my anus” throughout—“my anus is taking a pounding”, etc and so on. Don’t have the link to hand but I will have a look JUST FOR YOU.
