A party emoji with something blowing a party blowy thing (can't remember what they're called - what *are* they called?) and text that says Send a card

If I'd had the energy to write a "things that happened in 2025" blogpost, I'd have included sthg about it being the year tech tooling really got in the way. Lots of it is labelled as AI, but some of it is just STUFF BEING ANNOYING. Like, Slack really really wants me to send everyone a HNY card.

Of course, in the UK "regulators" are never really regulators. Their raison d'etre is political: to dress political goals in regulatory clothing, to act as reputational buffer zones, to gaslight outsiders like you and I into thinking regulation exists. But never, god forbid, to regulate.

We're delighted to be offering TWO nature walks per week in Inch Park, as part of our collaboration with Friends of Inch Park. Everyone welcome. A way to explore the local park and connect with each other. Learning more about nature in a relaxed and fun way.

I love positively present’s work.

I should note - it is far from clear that Labour's proposals to ban apps "designed to create synthetic non-consensual intimate images" - will apply to Grok. I asked @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social but got no reply.

Senior Labour MP Emily Thornberry urges the UK government to condemn Trump's military action in Venezuela

Is there any place online we can read about your work into this? I work with whistleblowers and the parallels between their experiences and those you’ve mentioned (and Saville in the UK) are significant.

Will my regional MSPs support my protected disclosures? Let's find out. A test of accountability in an election year.

It’s an election year in Scotland at a time when accountability is critical for the future of our planet.

Today I contacted my regional MSPs to ask them to support their constituent in making protected disclosures in the public interest.

It's gonna get crazier because it's still not working.

Not one word of condemnation by our government of Trump's illegal act of war in Venezuela.
Not one word.

Thank you Ang

An INTENDED result of going after free speech is it scares people into being silent in a moment where we need everyone to be the loudest.

Thanks for sharing.

#ScottishPolitics #ShesGoneTooFar #AskAlex 5/5

This isn’t about one party. It’s about the culture across politics that protects power and abusive people at the expense of everyone else.

If we want a safer, more honest politics in Scotland, we need transparency now. 4/5

Why it matters:

I’ve worked inside the Scottish Liberal Democrats.
I’ve seen how abuse was silenced and I've lived the cost of speaking up.

You deserve to know the truth before casting your vote. 3/5

I rejoined X ahead of #Holyrood26 but X has now labelled my account “malicious content.”

Ironic. I’m exposing how Scottish politicians covered up abuse.

Meanwhile, Musk spent the weekend sharing his own actual malicious video.

That tells you everything about whose voices are being silenced. 🧵 1/5
