NBC News poll

Voters hold negative views of Al. In fact, the only topics less popular in the survey were the Democratic Party and Iran.

Truly a perfect news alert

Going to be a big summer for middle aged men with heat pumps and solar panels.

IKR. I often find myself asking "Was anyone who knows what a bike is involved in this?"

Also wonder how much it cost all in all.

This is just the most incredible chart...

if the UK government implements current policies on taxes and benefits, public debt is stable (contrary to what the OBR always mistakenly tells us)

Thanks. Alien Earth really didn't do it for me... And I speak as someone who quite liked the "What does it all mean?" shizzle of Prometheus and Covenant. Rivals fun tho.

'Donald Trump showing up just what an indecisive loser Keir Starmer is on Iran' This is yet another headache our fence-sitting Prime Minister simply wants to go away.

I have a feeling that the British public are closer to the Starmer position on Iran than this gung-ho commentary suggests

Yh, it was good, and right for Colombia, although I preferred the slightly pastel Med look of the first one...

I think the most recent series of The Night Manager is about as far as I go in lush, oversaturated colours...

Gotta say, I'm not really into like way that Lord of the Flies looks like it's been shot using some hipster camera lens from the 1970s and weirdly processed slide film

Pitch: a cosy crime Sunday evening BBC detective drama.
Twist: the detective is the Speaker of the House of Commons.

How far back in time can you understand English? An experiment in language change

This is great. A blogger writes the same account of arriving in a town, using English from 2000, 1900, 1800, etc. Pretty easy back to 1600, but by 1400...

Normally don't bother with tradslop accounts but why would it radicalise me 70 years after the event (and decades after the backlash)?

I think smart estate agents have built a pipeline from Balham to us. We're now seeing an influx of people who think anything under ยฃ2m is cheap (without realising you can buy 3500 sq ft detached houses for around ยฃ2m)

That place that was on for ยฃ1.85m on Geoffrey went very fast. ยฃ1.85m. Geoffrey Road! Oh my days...
