Taskmaster has become pretty intense since the last time I watched it

Lightning in the shape of a 3

Now in the shape of a 2

Hey guys is it bad if the lightning is counting down

A letter in the Guardian that reads: Am I the only reader who was (until very recently) puzzled by the "alien facehugger" in your "Don't miss a beat" subscription advert? Christian Gould Shepherds Bush, London

The Guardian’s “Don’t miss a beat” subscription advert, featuring a fleshy disembodied elongated alien hand with metal claws that is actually a whisk covered in pink whipped cream or icing

A scene from the film Arrival featuring two whisks covered in black icing that are actually the lower bodies and legs of the alien characters

I’m not the only one who thought this was weird.

Complete lack of decorum. Didn’t even thank us for our attention to this matter.

I love that phrase "spending time in the space where the problem lives". It applies to so many things.

The emotional crisis is an essential part of the work.

This is so, so well-articulated.

I want to hear Bruce Dickinson sing this

That comment about Gaza being geographically close seems odd in what is otherwise a very good article. Gaza is on the Mediterranean and is closer to southern Italy than to Dubai.

How many PE teachers does this school have?

This is where the debate should be, rather than on the distraction of North Sea drilling. What can government do to move faster on clean tech and green buildings? Can it afford to be more ambitious and demand new homes are passivhaus and zero bill? How quickly can it bring down fossil fuel reliance?

I had to google to find out if a person with this name exists, “Crooked-nose Nose” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cameron...

💥Russian interference in Hungary’s election campaign and the Kremlin’s open support for Viktor Orbán are now a key issue.

No wonder this guy and his Matryoshka creation were very popular at today’s opposition march in Budapest

Can this be a solution?

Where was Churchill when the Westfold fell? youtu.be/haaRReLowJ8?...

FACTS:

Net Zero barely nudges your bill.

Fossil‑fuel wars send it through the roof.

So when Farage and his ilk slags off renewables while fanning conflict, remember who actually hikes your costs.

Most accurate portrait of modern culture currently available

The wealth of individuals should be limited in the same way that the power of politicians is limited, and for the same reasons. Wealth equals power, and it is entirely unchecked.

This little guy sits on my keyboard like an engorged tick

Looking forward to Diego Garcia becoming a major commercial stopover hub

This one weird trick also works when oil prices aren’t surging!

Starmer not prepared to join a war ‘without lawful basis and viable plan’, he tells PMQs – UK politics live PM says country must act ‘with clarity, with purpose and with a cool head’ amid Middle East crisis and Trump criticism

"The sprint to clean energy is the only way to get off the volatile international fossil fuels markets, cut bills & deliver energy security"

Fair play to Starmer - this is exactly right. Meanwhile, Badenoch & Farage would have us hooked on more fossil fuels

It does seem that every Home Secretary, whatever their background or previous political stance, quite rapidly turns authoritarian once in office. Something in the water at Marsham Street?

I initially read that Iran was close to a fishing deal with China so imagine how confused I was.

I’ll never forget the Walkers Crisps advert that had the UK spawn an arm out of the east coast of England and shove a crisp into the Firth of Forth, because who doesn’t eat crisps through the back of their head, not nightmare fuel at all

Alasdair Gray’s ‘Lanark’ describes Scotland’s west coast as “Britain’s back hair of islands and peninsula” and I’m sorry but the west coast is the FRONT, the east coast is the back, any other view is deeply disturbing to me

When Norfolk Police ask Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor if he has any special dietary requirements whilst in custody:
