Spent the afternoon at Prenton Park watching the 5-goal thriller between Tranmere Rovers and Cheltenham Town. Quality pies, and even got a comedy own goal. Proper football, none of your League 1, match-postponed-because-of-the-international-break fancy dans in Birkolona!

👀 Irish data centres are now using 22% of all electricity generated in Ireland, more than all urban homes combined & drawing an unquantified amount (lots) of Ireland’s water capacity

A new state-by-state evaluation of the projected energy and water use of "AI" data centers in the US. Looks… real bad. Like, "undoing tech sector climate gains" bad.
Strongly recommends immediately ensuring any & all new "AI" data centers to run on existing & expanded renewables grids. Which… yeah.

Yeah, Streeting doesn't sound remotely like a Tory shitbag here.
'Don't tell me you don't want to be out on strike - because that is exactly where you are. Own it.'
As resident doctors walk out again, Wes Streeting calls out the 'reprehensible and cartel-like behaviour' of their union.

Thing I didn't have on my bingo card for today: Spending 4 hours standing in a Lidl car-park. The lesson, grasshopper, is that if you're going to leave your bike uncovered in the rain for a few hours, make sure the petrol cap is watertight.

Gee whizz, would you look at what we’re noticing now. And about the comms office specifically! I guess everyone was just busy for several years, or mysteriously demotivated about looking too closely.

Imagine anyone from the current Labour Party doing this. Then again, try + imagine anyone from the current Labour Party being invited to do this. No wonder the billionaire-owned media are shitting themselves, this reminds me of 2017-era Corbyn + it took everything the establishment had to stop him

Actually, it happened because the far-right religious nutter, climate sceptic and Islamophobic billionaire, Paul Marshall, looked at Fox News in the US and thought “Why can’t we have a propaganda channel that pumps out non-stop bullshit too?”

When the Noticing Things begins, it doesn’t really matter whether it’s absurd, black bag-stuffing in cash corruption or just the regular, humdrum matey one-hand-washing-the-other that British politics has been for decades. It’s all grist to the mill.

Stories on BBC News - a street brawl which helpfully tells us those involved were “of Turkish origin” and another about a sex offender “Sudanese” but an extremely prolific sex offender responsible for 343 offences is not described as “white British” why is that

Many thanks to JCB’s Lord Bamford for donating £200,000 to Reform. HMRC seem to think he owes them up to £500m from money hidden in offshore accounts, but why pay tax when you can give it to a bunch of racists instead?

Joke of the day from Moscow: Russia tried to unveil its first humanoid AI robot, Aidol. Key word: tried. The robot collapsed during its debut, forcing organizers to cut the presentation short. Their rushed attempt to lift the prop only made things worse.
