EU: The European Union will require sale of mobile phones with “user-replaceable and longer-lasting batteries” starting in 2027.

My mam always threatened me with a good howkin' if I didn't behave. Otherwise, it might be a brayin'. A clip 'round the lug was more quickly forgotten.

When Lennon quipped that the Beatles were "more popular than Jesus" in an interview in 1966 it nearly derailed them in America.

The KKK burned their records & merch on pyres, there were repeated death threats and it was one of the factors that led them to stop touring

Trump’s done far worse today

The President and the Bomb: Redux Yes, the president has the unilateral authority to order nuclear strike; yes, there is something we can do about that if that disturbs you.

The probability that anyone in the military chain of command would object is pretty close to zero.

Alex @wellerstein.bsky.social has studied this issue. Here's a post from him on his blog Restricted Data. 3/

And yet people feed off this sort of bollocks that anyone, even my wife, who hasn't seen a live football match since aboyt 1984, could write.

A UK high street scene, supposedly the 1980’s but actually AI slop.

A UK high street scene, supposedly the 1980’s but actually AI slop.

More AI slop that somebody has had a computer generate. No BLIRER, but there is the famous shop LOCAL BAKER, WEE SMITH and a tartan Allegro. Also, one woman appears to have a bag from PIGS FARTS and another a bag from NIVOL GLIENM.

Trump vs Nasa This week offered two different futures for humanity. The first was based on self-pity and ignorance, the second on reason and common humanity.

I'm missing the first one; but I'm now of an age that, if I got to the top, I might not be able to get back down of my own accord.

Aren't you supposed to mourn the death before celebrating the resurrection? Neither has happened yet; unless Trump & co are a year behind everyone else. They could, perhaps, also ask Netenyahu for his version of events.

How can one not admire history’s exquisite dark sense of humor?

As part of a “delegation” of sanctioned Russian State Duma deputies visiting the United States, there was none other than the actual grandson of USSR's Vyacheslav Molotov, there to discuss a Trump–Putin pact.

When I went in 2023 just before we beat Spurs 6-1, & a couple of Spurs supporters were there, too. The view was good, but not that good. It's an #NUFC visit well worth doing.

The site used to be from where Newcastle supporters club busses used to leave for away matches. Something in the back of my mind says the current buildings were originally meant to be temporary, but who/what decided otherwise 🤷

I've stayed at the Heeton Concept Hotel next to James St station. Not expensive, vfm, next to revamped docks and handy as a base for wandering around on foot.

#NUFC CL ref, Francis Letexier, CL match record: 32 matches, 4 yellow cards/game, 11 reds, 15 pens awarded. Not into conspiracy theories, but, given where the match is, I reckon we'll need to score from open play
