Vibe math. No thank you

The Express is well known in the UK for exaggerated and rage-bait headlines. That and predicting outrageous weather events, without evidence, that never materialise

The Daily Express is a UK right-wing tabloid newspaper and is a very unreliable news source. I can only presume that the US version is from the same mould.

David Lammy is facing possible legal action over a plan to invite staff from the oil firm Shell and the defence firm BAE Systems to work inside the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office.

[…]

The scheme, which was first mooted by Lammy in March, is supposed to embed FCDO staff in firms to gain commercial experience while inviting private-sector staff to take placements in government.

He’s planning out where to build the new McDonalds concession

Dragon 32! A proper, Welsh machine

Renegade III: The Final Chapter.

Renegade on the ZX Spectrum was good, the sequel Target: Renegade was one of my favourite games for years, but the third game was a cynical cash grab, badly executed, barely playable.

Archive version, no paywall

I think we see a reform manifesto pledge to ‘bring back good, honest turkey twizzlers’ to school canteens 🙃

All woke and no play makes Jack a dull boy

I like how Hawkeye has now been relegated to making line calls at international tennis tournaments

O’Biden? First the Irish claim Obama, now Biden 😄

In tonight’s headlines, man with red front door paints it blue. Contents behind front door remain unchanged. More at 6.

Yeah, because it stinks

More like the Conservative government spent in the region of £700m on the scheme, and sent only 4 people there.

Reminds me of the first time I worked in a newsroom in the early 2000s. When the repeated slamming wasn’t enough, the whole phone would go flying across the office. I, unfortunately, had the desk by the wall, in the prime firing line. My reflexes became boss in those first 3 months.

I wish the media would stop portraying it as left vs right. In the UK, the traditionally left-leaning Labour party that is currently in power are also coming after disabled people. It’s not left-right politics, it’s the predatory billionaire class coming after everyone, taking the easiest targets first.

Can I interest you in my new investment venture? It’s essentially Kitty Ozempic. We’re predicting the market for it to grow by 8000% over 4 years because of all the fat leopards.
