Just come across a WEBSITE where there is a QR CODE IMAGE that points to the ticketing site BUT NO ACTUAL HYPERLINK OR URL ANYWHERE. Because of facebook etc taking over everything have people forgotten what websites actually do????

This is and has always been a company of risk-takers who are unafraid to move fast and break things. Or at least, that’s what I thought, until a bunch of you started bringing up the many merits of proceeding cautiously and keeping things unbroken.

Really enjoyed Thunderbolts. (For reference: I mostly dislike superheroes & like films about sad people who've failed trying their best) Pacing felt a bit off & main metaphor gets a heavy-handed, but some lovely understated character work, good humour, & actually felt like it was ABOUT something.

Abi Whistance (The Liverpool Post) wrote a four-part investigation exposing a Liverpool housing charity which left its residents in dire conditions, yet funnelled millions of pounds into a complicated web of private firms linked to the charity’s owner. #PaulFootAward2025

Apparently there's a garden at the Chelsea Flower show where you can talk to a tree thanks to the power of AI. It says "what's the point of pretend talking to me when you've burnt the rest of the fucking planet you stupid tech bro arseholes"

I also discuss the bizarre and disturbing association between the Starmer government and former special advisers to Boris Johnson and Liz Truss. I vaguely remember being told something about "Change". But this continuity is beyond our worst nightmares. Not just Tory policies, but actual Tories.

As capitalism is visibly failing throughout the world, and those with the keys to the kingdom maintain the pretence. I thought Adam Curtis' documentary "Hypernormalisation" was worth a rewatch.

The Economist estimates that the annual cost of the Reform/Farage promises is £200bn and savings of around £100bn, due to cuts in public services and deep austerity. Reform/Farage will promise anything to grab power, but will face the Truss moment. Under scrutiny Reform will wriggle.

England faces drought as reservoir water levels dwindle. Rationing beckons. Population increased but no new reservoirs for 35 yrs; no desalination plants. Companies fleeced customers, borrowed to pay high dividends, low investment. People pay for privatisation follies. End the scam. Nationalise.
