When the Baboons and Monkeys heard that the Man who used to chase them away from the maize field had died, they hysterically celebrated. The following year, there was no maize, that is when they painfully realized the dead Man was the Farmer!

Why mention @Dyson in the clickbait headline when the product in question isn’t remotely connected to Dyson - let’s face it, if you are buying a £12 hairdryer it probably isn’t likely to be the best or safest on the market!🙄

Sunday Times reports 5 SAS soldiers hunting ISIS in Syria came under fire, shot two men, and were cleared by the first review. Then arrested for double murder. Homes raided. Sent back behind enemy lines 48 hours after questioning. All five have since left.

J'ai vu une Tesla décoller. Et j'ai entendu beaucoup de bêtises. « Ça ne sert à rien. » « Gadget de milliardaire. » « Qui a besoin d'une voiture qui vole ? » Personne. Et c'est exactement pour ça que c'est important. En 1978, Brabham a aligné en Formule 1 une voiture équipée d'un ventilateur géant à l'arrière. Il aspirait l'air sous le châssis et plaquait la voiture au sol. Elle a gagné sa première course avec une avance insolente. Elle a été interdite immédiatement. Quarante-huit ans plus tard, on y revient. Un système de succion qui colle la voiture à la route et lui permet de passer sous la seconde au 0 à 100. Personne n'a « besoin » de faire le 0 à 100 en moins d'une seconde. Comme personne n'a besoin d'une Formule 1. Et pourtant : les freins carbone de votre berline, l'hybridation de votre moteur, l'aérodynamique de votre SUV, les palettes au volant — tout ça vient de voitures de course que personne n'utilisera jamais pour aller au travail. La Formule 1 ne sert à rien. Pourtant elle sert à tout. En 1973, quand la France a lancé Ariane, l'Europe sortait de onze échecs consécutifs du programme Europa. La presse parlait d'argent jeté dans l'espace. Vingt ans plus tard, Ariane détenait la moitié du marché mondial des lancements commerciaux, et chaque satellite de télévision, de météo ou de GPS que vous utilisez a bénéficié de cette obstination. Le progrès a toujours la même tête au début : un truc inutile, cher, ridicule, construit par des gens qu'on prend pour des fous. Ce que j'ai vu à Dallas, ce n'est pas une voiture volante. C'est un châssis, une gestion de l'énergie et une maîtrise des flux d'air que l'industrie automobile mettra dix ans à digérer. Les applications viendront : sécurité, freinage, stabilité, consommation. Elles finiront dans des voitures ordinaires conduites par des gens qui expliqueront, en 2036, que tout ça était évident. La question n'est jamais « à quoi ça sert ». La question est : qui ose encore construire des choses qui ne servent à rien ? Il y a cinquante ans, c'était nous. La fusée, le TGV, le Concorde, le Minitel. L'Europe construisait des choses absurdes et magnifiques. Aujourd'hui, on commente depuis le siège arrière car nous sommes hors course. Merci @elonmusk de nous faire rêver

'Britain is back'. Back where? Back living at its mum's house, skint, and sleeping in the box room?

Just imagine walking into almost any private business. “Morning mate. I’d like substantially more money, one fewer working day, no loss of pay, stronger protections against redundancy and if you don’t fancy it I might stop working altogether.” Meanwhile Dave running a plumbing business is working six days a week trying to work out which new tax is going to kick him in the bollocks next.
🚨 NEW: Civil servants will vote next week on whether to strike for a 4-day work week on full pay and a 10% pay rise

interesting article in today’s @thetimes about the 71% decline in hedgehog numbers between 1981 and 2023. Only a small mention of badgers, their main predators, which became a protected species in late 1973 - surely some sort of correlation?

Just to spell it out: 1. Folic acid is being added to some gluten free products by manufacturers 2. Wholemeal flour is exempt but almost all wholemeal bread contains folic acid. 3. Avoiding bread will not be enough when it is in the FLOUR in numerous products. Sign petition.
It’s official: people are completely clueless about the reality of adding synthetic folic acid to non-wholemeal flour. The responses I'm getting show total confusion: 🧵 "I only eat gluten-free bread now." 🧵 "I only buy supermarket wholemeal." 🧵 "I’m avoiding bread altogether."

Hey America. Canada has a diesel surplus. We export more than we use domestically. Most of it to the United States. Trump bought you 12 days worth from Russia for double what Canada charges everyday to you. Choke on that.
