Obviously this is impossible because Alan Moore looks like he's genetically a wizard, it's simply impossible to imagine what he would look like as a schoolboy oh there he is.

“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”

At the beautiful, albeit grey and blustery today, Hove Promenade #parkrun . Had a little taper this week and went for sub-32 but sneaked in under 31 :) Not saying I went off too quick but nearly ran into the back of the 30 pacer at 1km. First time in a long time that sub-30 isn’t looking impossible

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

The EPA is starting to allow the use of pesticides containing PFAS on food. The move is part of an effort to roll back the regulation of PFAS — also known as "forever chemicals" because they don't break down easily in the environment.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Elon wanted to expose foreign actors, so X shipped location tags.
The result? "Native American Soul" is in Bangladesh and pro-American MAGA patriots were actually Nigerian & Indian. They rolled it back instantly. It is wildly amusing that nobody validated the dataset before hitting the ship button

X quietly disabled a new feature that showed which country an account was posting from when it revealed that lots of popular right wing MAGA accounts were being run from foreign countries like India and Nigeria.

No #parkrun as travelling. My autumn holiday an informal run camp the last few years. By Apple Health I’ve snaffled 3 full points of VO2 max the last 3 weeks. Sceptical about the absolute number but hopefully trend is meaningful. Z2 5K on each day shown and today’s was 3 minutes quicker for lower HR
