Ahoy!
There is no funnier train station sign than "Cambridge home of Anglia Ruskin University". Everytime I see it I'm impressed all over again at the level of trolling.
Its been over a decade since he came down that escalator and people still dont have a solution to the "The president just says stuff" problem.

(BTW @akshatrathi.bsky.social this newsletter says your $21 trn figure applies to getting to net zero in 2027...)
Imagine the reaction in the US if ~175 schoolgirls had been killed by a targeted Iranian missile. (Or anyone's missile.)
This is an atrocity.

Posted simply for the headline. I loathe many things about the Guardian
But it's a good headline
This is drivel
Trump on if new Iranian leader has a target on his back: "Look, I had a target on my back because they caught the assassin that was after me. So we just got them first. But they caught the assassin."
If you are watching Trump's presser right now, you are seeing beyond reasonable doubt a person not mentally suited for any position of responsibility. Even running a small store.
GOP members of the House and Senate: You are seeing this too.

I notice that UKSovereignAI has an account on X but not here and that doesn't feel terribly sovereign to me...
If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice

China has added yoke-style steering wheels to the list of restrictions that will take effect Jan. 1, 2027.
In the document, it noted that 46% of driver injuries are associated with steering mechanisms and said airbags in yoke-style steering wheels may deploy unpredictably.

The telegraph magazine story will I think be available online at some point. Also, as Nicholas kindly points out, if this is the sort of thing you think you might like there's a whole book of it available...

Are electric vehicles denting oil demand? Yes.
By how much? 1.5 million barrels of oil a day, according to EV Curve Futurist.
Caveat: These estimates are hard, but the numbers are certainly adding up.

Waiting to cross the road & a humungous trailer-tractor thing rumbles past & the man waiting alongside me & I exchange bemused WTF expressions & I think probably one of my favourite things in the world is when you share a fleeting moment of complicity with a complete stranger like that.
The Trump era has given rise to this whole new emotion of being simultaneously angry over how evil something is and how stupid it is, which I'm sure the Germans have a word for but I don't.
Made me think of you
"Folk pharmacology" -- great term
Trump's dozy, ill-thought through Iran attacks have shown us just what anti-British grifters Reform & Tory politicians really are. They follow their true master - the orange buffoon - not the British people.
They have been a bloody disgrace. No one should vote for them.
Utter traitors
