Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana. Like flies around shit.

Anyway good riddance to Starmer the duplicitous toady. Burnham needs to sort out dentistry, nationalise water, sort out public transport, and push through or promise election reform before the next election and purge the Labour shills and malign influences.

[Grant Burton @grunthos]

Considering Starmer swindled his way into Labour's leadership with his empty pledges (but for some rail renationalisation, hoorah), Burnham really needs to live up to promises and deliver. And dump those Blairites.

Starmer walks to his office, places his withering peace lilly in a cardboard box, then adds his four pairs of glasses, a tub of brycreem, a tin of Hovis biscuits and a pack of Stevia.

He walks over to the wall and removes his good luck card from Jeremy Corbyn.

“Cleaning a river without a permit. What about you?”

@EnvAgency is really plumbing new depths of malevolent uselessness here.

It's the question we always get asked. Why do your lecturers write on whiteboards when the unparalleled joys of PowerPoint et al are available? Here's Derek Moulton's take.

Talking of Derek, we're showing his full 1st year Dynamics course, starting here: https://t.co/keBD2Dr4FM

Guess the speculative inside traders at least won a prize or two.

Slow hand clap for #PedoPOTUS, abets genocide, tanks the world economy, makes Iran look like moderates, comes out worse off than before.

Perhaps a reminder that even a Hollywood reboot was dead in the water.

The BBC should open source the IP.

All tessellation types for convex polygons are known, except for pentagons.

@faisalislam I find the ones on Facebook weird, the implied second rate celebrity is dead or their career is over. Akin to you would not believe what X has done, click on this. And yes, generally this slop leads to more imaginal worthless uninteresting slop.

Would dearly love to have been fly on wall in strategy meetings behind decision by brand Gwyneth Paltrow to shill for Israeli real estate company founded by Netanyahu’s mate accused of various securities frauds to flog a luxury block in the town named after the father of Zionism

The Penrose triangle is a useful intuition pump for a nontrivial Čech cohomology class: each local patch looks coherent but the patches can't be glued into a consistent global object. The obstruction appears only around the loop as an accumulated contradiction in depth ordering.

“One AI data centre Meta is constructing will be 1/5 the size of Manhattan, and will use the average power of London.”

“That’s just Meta...”

@_KarenHao sets out the shocking consequences of the AI industry.

It's a battle for your thoughts.

Your local authority hemorrhages money on elder care, and the government's biggest costs are the state pension and the NHS. Looking after our own is quite rightly a national priority and there is still huge room for improvement.

At a live event for @zeteo_news with @mehdirhasan the actor Riz Ahmed says British Secret services tried to recruit him three times as an intelligence officer. The final time, the offer came from a senior BBC Executive (who he doesn’t name) …

@juztjim @owenjonesjourno Labour sadly have never been the party for the environment. They can't even bring themselves to pretend like when Cameron tried to green the Tories.
