The government of the People’s Republic of China announces that Chairman Mao will no longer receive visitors, fueling speculation that he is terminally-ill.   Here is Mao’s most-recent photo:

I don't know who needs to read this but stop walking your fucking dogs in this weather you porridge brained cunts. Amount of people I've seen in the last two days is unbelievable.

If the ‘record temperature’ is the same temperature it was 82 years ago, doesn’t this disprove everything we’ve been told about global warming?

So, jokes aside, to understand why the heat is worse in the UK than say Arizona for example, the answer is quite long... First it's the Humidity, it's far higher here. The UK's island location and prevailing south-westerly winds bring moist sea air, so heatwaves are often humid rather than dry. In contrast, many of the hottest US states (e.g., Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico) have dry desert heat where sweat evaporates quickly, so you actually feel cooler despite higher temperatures. Even humid US regions (like the Southeast) usually have widespread air conditioning to offset it. Second, the buildings and Infrastructure that we have all are designed to Trap Heat, not Release It. UK homes are built for cold, damp winters: thick brick/stone walls, heavy insulation, small windows, and designs that retain warmth. During a heatwave, they turn into ovens, solar gain through windows builds up, and there is poor ventilation or passive cooling features like overhangs, shutters, or light-coloured roofs. Plus, poor air conditioning: Only about 5% of UK homes have AC (vs. ~90% in the US). It's not standard because it's rarely needed most of the year, but during spikes it's a nightmare. Also, retrofitting is expensive and tricky in old terraced houses or listed buildings. This extended to public transport, schools, offices, and even hospitals as they often lack cooling. Finally, most importantly, we have zero acclimatisation. Meaning it's just as hot at night as it is during the day. Britons aren't physiologically or culturally used to sustained heat. We're properly white! So, a sudden jump from typical UK summer temps feels extreme, and the body struggles more without gradual adaptation. Heatwaves often bring "tropical nights" (temps staying above 20 °C), so homes don't cool down overnight. You can't sleep, recover, or anything which just compounds fatigue, dehydration, etc. Drier US heat often cools significantly at night. That is all topped up with the fact that we have longer summer daylight at the UK's higher latitude meaning more hours of solar heating. Hope this long explanation that no one wanted clears this right up...

They redacted some mentions of Trump (and many others) using standard FBI privacy rules — because he was a private citizen during the early investigation. The law he signed bans redactions for embarrassment or politics. Yet his name still shows up over 38,000 times in the 3 million pages released after he signed the Transparency Act. If he was hiding something big, why force the files out? Calm down and think over it again.. I'm sure it will make sense 😂

You’ve been with us every step of the way this season ❤️🐝 Through the ups and downs, home and away, you’ve given us everything Rest up over the summer. Our journey will continue.

Also wtf we’re them subs. We need to win we’ve got Josh/donovan/furo on the bench and he still refuses to bring them on. Hes made horrific sub decisions all season

Do these players and this manager genuinely deserve applause after bottling an easy pathway to Europe whilst only winning 2 games since February (West Ham and fucking BURNLEY)? 😂😂😂 Just saying, I genuinely think Keith would be sacked if that was at the start of the season.

This is going to look terrible come February 2027

40 million fk off!!!! Absolutely shite. Don't deserve Europe. Small club mentality won't get us anywhere!! 'Ohh remember where we were 10 years ago!!' NO!!!! Look where we have been for months!!! That's what matters!!!

Not too long ago Sunderland were 14 points behind us. Now they’ve got Europe ahead of us. Don’t want any happy clappers telling fans that we can’t feel stupidly angry and disappointed about this.

Henderson, Schade, Dango, Collins and Andrews can all piss off
