Kimber's Law.

Extrapolate this just a wee bit and it's good advice for life.

Put away your shopping cart.
Pick up your trash.
Use headphones in a public space.

In other words, think about your impact on others.

Firing and jailing RFK is the moderate position

The pursuit of money, where you're chasing more despite having enough to last several lifetimes, should be categorised as a mental illness.

OMG... I feel like that could be it... he’s such a f****** dimwit

"I Believe In You" is possibly one of the best songs ever written. The resolution of the tension as (I think, I'm not musically trained) it moves from a minor to major key is gorgeous.

This juxtaposition of Wealth with The Bicycle Thief here is amazing too...

Trump loves things being named after him. Maybe one of the diseases his administration has relaunched?

I have just learned of "Occam's Kazoo" heuristic to understand the actions of Trump; basically the most likely explanation of his actions is the stupidest. (Original RT didn't have alt-text)

You know, I'm beginning to suspect that he's not a master negotiator, and, indeed, neither is he a master at the Art of the Deal.

I don't have this dream, but thanks for putting the idea in my mind Dean!

Title: Change lane to escape the global energy crisis. Car - £108 per week and rising fast. (Source: Average weekly cost of car ownership (IPPR, 2025)). Bus - £20 per week (Contactless card weekly cap for National Express West Midlands). Walking and cycling - Free. Fewer short car trips also leads to less congestion, more reliable public transport, quicker journey times for all.

With the price of fuel going up by the week, change lanes to avoid the impact. Bus tickets are capped at £20 a week. Walking and cycling short trips is free.

Fewer short car trips also means less congestion, more reliable public transport, safer and better roads, cleaner air, and healthier people.

I picked it up in a backpackers when I was "done" with John Irving but needed something to read - before any easy access to eBooks.
Took my breath away.

It seems wrong to sanewash what he actually said like this.

(I'm obliquely reminded of how abused folk recurrently minimise what has happened to them.)

I agree that you find yourself thinking that his "proof" for God is highly transactional - and so not necessarily applicable once you exit the confines of the book, since it is based on Irving's story that he's made up!

What a book though...

I found A Prayer for Owen Meany strong in this regard. I don't know if it was John Irving's intention, but it does require you to share the narrator's belief and the proof presented...

Graphic that says "More stops please!" on station and stop name style signage.

With three new rail stations on the Camp Hill line and two tram stops on the Eastside extension open in the last few days, we're taking the opportunity to ask for more stops please!

Jaywalking is just crossing the road in the UK and it should stay that way. The self-driving car companies may fuck off with that one

If you buy a high end bike off someone as a "steal" then there is a good chance it is a literal steal...

I'm going to hazard that she's still not far enough away to avoid one of the earthbound 4 billion or so blokes mansplaining something to her.

I mean. That is just sublime.

This obsession for American pickup trucks on UK roads is insane. Dave, you live on a fucking estate in Doncaster not on the prairies of Montana. Tax the bastards to oblivion

I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake By A Horse Hello. I am a horse. I work very hard at my job of being a horse. When humans say move the heavy thing, I move the heavy thing. When humans sit on top of me and pull on my head, I carry them where they want to go. The main food the humans give me is hay and oats. But I am thinking it would be nice to have a different food. I am thinking I would like to try cake. Yes, yes. Cake. I know all about it. When humans eat cake, it is in glad times. It is the food for a celebration, such as when a woman becomes 47. I have seen cake on the Fourth of July. When humans have a cake, they stand around it and clap hands and smile and say happy birthday at each other. Sometimes there are beautiful markings on a cake, such as balloons or a pink shape. Sometimes the top of a cake is on fire and a boy must blow on the fire with mouth wind. This is the scariest cake. I do not want this kind. But I will eat any other cake. Any cake that is not the fire cake that tries to kill the boy. Please understand: I do not get money for doing work. I do not get to go inside the house. All I am either doing my horse job or standing in my pen or eating food off the floor. I always do these things. But I have never once gotten cake and I would like it very much. I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children. I am more helpful to the farm. Children do not move the heavy things like me or let anyone ride on them. And yet they get cake. Maybe the humans will realize this. Maybe they will say, "You know who deserves cake? That horse. That horse whose back we are always on." Every day I dream about what it will be like if I get to eat cake. Here is what will happen. First, I will walk to the cake and putt my nose at it like hrrfff to make and stomping my hooves to make sure it is not a snake. Then I will trot in a circle to show that I am a horse and I am large. After that, I will nuzzle the cake to …

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me.

It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

That’s one hell of a cover…..

I'm really not rating this Dalek Reboot - and their new catchphrase is rubbish.

So, about those Eid prayers in London...

"What's the highest thing in Trafalgar Square?"

"Nelson's column, innit?"

"And the highest thing on the column?"

"Nelson."

"And on Nelson?"

"His hat."

"And the highest thing on his hat?"

"That bit that sticks up."

This should have been the response by every local authority across the country as soon as this fascist performative nonsense started last year. It should never have been tolerated.

Lots of good points in @brenttoderian.bsky.social's thread, but I want to pull out this one to say something about a particularly awful case of process-as-tactic from Birmingham, UK, where I live.

And that is the case of #MayarYahiaSquare.
