Ian Fleming's original James Bond novels haven't aged well. For example, Moonraker - published almost exactly 70 years ago in April 1955 - features a villain who's a super-rich industrialist and rocket-maker seeking to cause chaos because he's a secret Nazi. Such a silly idea!

Luigi Mangione going free following a mistrial because Eric Adams will not stop chatting is not necessarily plausible, but it is the timeline we deserve.

Just looking at the latest YouGov poll - the Tories are on 9% with people under 50. It is not clear to me how this helps with that problem.

It was a pretty bad effort considering I never heard of it until this post.

Elon’s busy schedule today is claiming astronauts were left in the ISS for political reasons, getting corrected by an ISS astronaut, throwing a fit where he calls the astronaut a slur, then complaining that we should deorbit the ISS

Meanwhile, on X, The Everything App

I mean if the Trump government is going to put tariffs on Europe and fire scientific experts why should we not engage in a little Operation Paperclip as a treat?

I'm sure he's wearing blackout shades for normal reasons.

It really fucking burns me that Hoffman, Joplin, Ledger, Belushi, Hendrix, and all those folks die of drug overdoses but this freak keeps on chugging.

what the FUCK

Just feeling real embarrassed for anyone having to work in US foreign policy now

glad they've got some new faces in the lobby

Gangster capitalism. www.wsj.com/business/med...

My favourite bit of this article is the bit where they have to admit that the wealth-hoarding boomer stereotype is 100% accurate.

And to think they call themselves Republicans

Today in ‘takes that have aged like custard’

If Pope Francis dies we need an even woker pope to replace him. I’m talkin’ women priests. Trans nuns. A Swiss Guard that brutally enforces DEI. Excommunicating JD Vance. It should make the Unitarians look like Opus Dei.

Foreign Leader Favourability Ratings amongst British Voters: 🇺🇦 Volodymyr Zelenskyy Favourable: 64% Unfavourable: 16% NET: +48% 🇺🇸 Donald Trump Favourable: 22% Unfavourable: 73% NET: -51% 🇷🇺 Vladimir Putin Favourable: 4% Unfavourable: 89% NET: -85% Via @YouGov, 16-17 Feb.

The truth too unpalatable for politicians to lay out is if you cant see a GP, the likelihood is that it isn’t an immigrant – who is on average younger and healthier than you – ahead in the queue, but one of the growing number of older people. Me for @metrouk.bsky.social metro.co.uk/2025/02/19/n...

Neville Chamberlain, to do him justice, never amplified under his own byline Hitler's propaganda against the Czechs

it’s even funnier once you consider that taking this thing to a car wash voids the warranty

If you could use a little brightness in your day, I recommend spending some time with sled dog MUPPY. I’m genuinely obsessed with her. She is an icon. She is a legend. Her legs are 4 inches long.

Like in Lord of the Rings when the army rides over the hill to save everyone, except in this case the army is a team of call centre workers who have spent YEARS making it impossible to unsubscribe

kyivindependent.com/who-started-... an excellent long read

La France si elle était occupée aujourd’hui en mêmes proportions que l’Ukraine

love being a London renter, sometimes wonder if we're god's least favourite children

I feel like every day we get closer to an opposition frontbencher referring to the Labour government of 2010 to 2024.

Olaf Scholz mocked British railways over “broken tracks and bad trains”, claiming that "nothing works any more” in the UK. Turns out: Germany rail problems have become so bad that Deutsche Bahn long-distance service is less punctual than even the worst operator in Britain. www.ft.com/content/d3b6...

The test of basic legal literacy in the UK is whether you think UK judges use gavels. Not a single person involved in the production and publication of this cartoon would pass that test.

I think the biggest hit to German national pride was a few years ago where the Swiss Railway Operator threatened to ban DB from running service into Switzerland (because late running services has a massive knock-on impact) but said that the Italians were fine.

Note: these are the famous "legal pathways" that those in need of international protection are supposed to take. The sheer cruelty of this is beyond me.

Reform’s solution to the energy crisis and rising bills is... add taxes to renewable energy companies... add taxes to farmers who put up solar farms; ban battery energy storage systems which help make bills more affordable... force new grid infrastructure to be buried underground Ho ho! #r4today

28 apartments built in Le Havre, designed by UrbanMakers Efficient layout with a cost of €3m. The kind of housing we should be building everywhere!!! www.urbanmakers.eu/en/projet/ma...

SWAN: DOGE and SpaceX employees are now working directly at the FAA and DoD, agencies that have billions of dollars of contracts with Musk's companies or regulate them. How is that not a conflict of interest? TRUMP: Well I mean, I'm just hearing about it

they might play sports in philadelphia but they dont play games

"I wonder what this relatively small account that Elon Musk follows is?" "Oh I see, it just posts porn and Nazism only."

Incredible journalism.
