My face hinge fell open and I couldn’t believe my looking blobs when I read that.

Marry someone you’d enjoy running a small, poorly funded summer camp with. That’s most of the job.

Despite rumours - Lough Neagh has not been moved into County Louth. @metoffice
The UK will experience a partial solar eclipse on Wednesday 12 August.
The extent of the Sun's coverage and the timing of maximum obscuration will differ across the country.
Never look directly at the sun; use a pinhole projector or certified eclipse glasses to view it.
ALT Map on UK showing how much of the sun will be obscured by the moon, at maximum, during the solar eclipse on Wednesday 12th of August. this ranges from 88% in the east to 98% in the southwest.

Three weeks into Andy Burnham's premiership, the scale of MVAWG has been exposed again by the case of Simon Levy. Yet Burnham still intends to release men with a known history of violence against women from prison. – at Hammersmith, London
Hilarious thread. I miss the Internet.
people build farms around me. they build cages because of you. i’m a founder of civilization and you’re just a loading screen on national geographic. nature gave you a mane because it couldn’t give you a fucking personality. it built you like a tank that skipped leg day and a poorly evolved orange cat with anger issues. you walk around like you’re some apex predator, meanwhile you sleep more than a coma patient and hope somebody else caught dinner for you. perhaps the real king of the jungle is your overworked sister wife lionesses, since your whole hunting strategy is basically “ladies, you got this”. we all know who’s actually doing your dirty work while your lazy ass sniffs its own shit in the shade all day you freeloading oversized pussy

The shop is open the next today and tomorrow 10am - 9pm with the Fleadh event going on in Belfast. With all the fuss the media coverage brought to Smithfield Market and subsequently the Belfast city council, they begrudgingly allowed us the extra hours.
If you are around the city centre after 5pm today or tomorrow and have time to spare call in. Even just to show them people called and we were right to ask for it 😅

It’s unusual for the governing party to increase its vote share in a midterm by-election. Maybe Keir Starmer isn’t as unpopular as the so-called experts say!

Choyaa: For many, immigration remains a taboo topic, entirely shielded from critical analysis…
The brutal stabbing of Stephen Ogilvie on Monday evening sent shockwaves throughout Northern Ireland. For many, however, the primary shock lay in the graphic

Further to Blair. Literally every honest sensible person in all the main parties privately agrees with all these propositions:
- welfare spending is too high and is throwing good people on the scrapheap
- defence spending is too low
- the triple lock is unsustainable
- without cheap energy we cannot exploit the AI revolution
- we should be investing in EVERY form of energy: renewables, nuclear and the North Sea
- migration needs to be controlled to boost social cohesion and because the boats look like a huge failure of the state
- any new relationship with the EU will be imposed on us until we are stronger and cannot involve the closeness some desire without freedom of movement
- we are deeply embedded with America in ways which the public does not understand and cannot be told and however joyous it makes us feel to hate Trump, disengagement at the deep state level is not only wholly unrealistic but also undesirable
- Whitehall needs a total overhaul so specific project expertise and political appointees can be brought in quickly
Blair basically says all that.
The one thing he doesn’t say and which the same group of people agree on is this and it’s something Blair left behind:
- judges and quangos have too much power, are unaccountable and without redressing the balance in favour of parliament it is very difficult to do anything big fast
- the bare minimum that needs to change in this regard is to reform judicial review and planning law so we can put building and economic growth ahead of newts and NIMBYs
None of that above really ought to be up for discussion. It is all common sense but not one of our politicians will publicly say all of it
Whatever you think of Blair, engage with what he’s saying not how he makes you feel. The bare minimum we should expect from any leader is that they have an analysis of the current situation and a plan to deal with it which is as coherent and realistic as his intervention. Pretty well every critique I’ve read so far has failed to meet this requirement.
Over to Andy and Keir and Kemi and Nigel and Zack and all the others

For anyone struggling to grasp just how ridiculous it is to run a marathon in under two hours, it’s roughly equivalent to running an entire marathon in under two hours.

The protests in Ireland are not about just fuel! They are about the distance between Ireland on this graph and every other modern and developed economy. Ireland is second wealthiest but gets waaaaay less than any other country for that wealth. By a golden mile.
That visual gap in this graph? That’s what people are protesting. It’s a lack of infrastructure and the everyday enshittification of services, the economy, and the additional difficulty of trying to live, relative to peers in any other country. It also highlights why people don’t get uniformly listened to! - because there is no government architecture to engage meaningfully across this huge gap.
That gap is a three hour drive to work in traffic, a 14 month wait for an MRI, buses that don’t arrive, trains that don’t exist, schools that have no places for your kids, houses that are unaffordable, pubs that close before midnight, €12 sandwiches, expensive fuel.
People feel this gap, even if they can’t explain it precisely. And that builds into resentment, and ultimately protest. Fuel just happened to be the next thing that could be pointed to, today.

Girls shouldn’t have to carry alarms, change their routes, or “arm” themselves just to feel safe.
In this day and age, that isn’t empowerment - it’s a failure. Why is the burden still on them to prevent harm?
Girls deserve safety without conditions.
