New boiler is more efficient -> unhappy cat

A powerful sense of dread www.youtube.com/watch?v=obXq...

If they made Mr Benn today it'd be all woke plots about animal rights and trees.... Hang on... 🤔

Wait a minute, steel? But my company uses steel.

New video by me: Back to the pseudoscience Commentary on Susan Oliver's comparison with antivaxxers (contains only my voice). www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJ-p...

I'm begging the media to learn to use units correctly.

Do the idiots with exploding exhausts know that shit cars are called 'bangers'? It's not because they look like sausages.

I made a video about The Mail's Trial podcast. youtu.be/O72Ol5-l9iI?...

I thought convicted felons were barred from holding any official office. I suspect Penguin has done his civics homework well, Robin. vm.tiktok.com/ZNdJRsvm1/

It says something when even the Nazis think you’re too much of a Nazi for them

I had measles as a little girl in I think 1967, before the vaccine was available. Nobody should get measles in the 21st century. America is going backwards.

Me, trying to pass a Duolingo speaking exercise.

Glad she was found not guilty. An absolutely farcical prosecution. Public order offences are badly in need of a shake up. www.theguardian.com/law/2025/feb...

Liz Hull seems to now be arguing the equivalent logic that the Birmingham Six might still have done it, because they could have found an explosive that wasn't picked up by hand swabs. Surely that's not the right question? #lucyletby archive.is/V3Lc3

🧪Measles “is the thing we see first when public health starts to falter,” Ratner said recently from his office in New York City. www.latimes.com/science/stor...

“Today, DEI has become the new N-word; the new rightwing abstraction deployed by Republicans to conceal their anti-Black racism.” My latest for the Guardian, in which I cite Lee Atwater, and bring lots of receipts. Sorry, but it has to be said:

Fortunately I'm not overly hassled by Universal Credit, because I manage some work. For anyone who has to access their journal constantly, this is their helpful advice if your phone is having a problem:

Lots of special animals and pets buried in the PDSA London animal cemetery. But my first visit is always to Able Seacat Simon. Only feline recipient of the animal Victoria Cross. "During the Yangtse Incident, his behavour was of the highest order." Thread below. #navalHistory

If you look beyond the BBC's awful tabloid headline, this is somewhat interesting. 'If they have support' and 'if their health improved' means just that. So imposing sanctions is the first thing to definitely not do. Forcing them into inappropriate job applications is the second.

@davidallengreen.bsky.social Do worry that if it keeps doubling down, especially on strict procedural grounds, the whole legal system will end up looking like Jarnail Singh and Vennels did last year? Singh essentially relied on the '2 juries, load of nutters' argument about campaigners.

My blog looking at the Dreyfus case was overtaken by events yesterday. I think it has even more relevance today: From a dodgy expert to a major scandal, and how a culture war forms along partisan lines. circularityandbias.wordpress.com/2025/02/03/t...

I look back at a much earlier miscarriage of justice: The Dreyfus Affair - From Cock-up to Culture War circularityandbias.wordpress.com/2025/02/03/t...
