Not sure I'm entirely comfortable with robots being able to run way faster and longer than I can. #robots #marathon #t1000 #terminator2 – at Penryn, England
50:26. Let that sink in — a humanoid just won the Beijing half marathon at a pace faster than the human world record. 🤯 The winner, “Lightning” from the Monkey King team, didn’t just finish — it ran a sub-51 minute race, while the human record sits at 56:42. This one is built for speed — around 169 cm, mech-style design, optimized for aerodynamics and burst power. There are two versions: remote-controlled and fully autonomous. And yes, the autonomous one can actually navigate and hold that pace. At this point, the conversation really changes. It’s no longer about whether robots can run long distance — it’s about how fast they can push past human limits.

Write out 100 times: The UK has never had a referendum on PR (2011 was about AV, entirely different, and not proportional) #ProportionalRepresentation #PR

The most un-proportional election ever? Here are the seats and votes cast so far (648/650 declared). The days of two-party politics are over, and our electoral system is clearly no longer fit for purpose (it hasn't been for decades). #ProportionalRepresentation #MakeVotesMatter

I first posted this just before the 2017 General Election. 2050 is looking even closer and scarier now. #GeneralElection24 #VoteGreen – at Penryn, England

If you want to count the angels on the head of the pin, the question is whether you're talking about the NHS as an organisation (does this exist?) or as a function. What Greens are talking about is profit-taking from the function. Labour seem entirely comfortable with this.

How many people still get that reference, I wonder?

Oh, it was to *lose*, according to the BBC. As per above, then.

Canadian cops wear lumberjack shirts! Slightly disappointed he wasn't thrown onto the back of a horse, though.
