A great way of checking if your favourite celebrity is an establishment posho who has been gifted their life on a plate is to check what their siblings do.

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it.

An AI generated map England divided by area into 3rds. Except it used the whole of the UK and places are hopelessly placed.

An AI generated map England divided by area into 3rds. Except it used the whole of the UK and places are hopelessly placed.

Got to share the result of this prompt to Gemini:

"Looking at a map of England only, can you divide it into thirds, using area" It came up with sensible text answer but completely mess up the map!

Straße von Hormus: So legt der Krieg die Straße von Hormus lahm Seit Samstag droht der Iran damit, Schiffe anzugreifen, die die Straße von Hormus passieren. Sehen Sie hier, welche Folgen das für den Verkehr in der Meerenge hat.

I made an animated map of ship movements in the Straights of Hormuz using data from marinetraffic.com.

Ship track frames rendered using #ggplot, base map created using #gdal, video editing using #ffmpeg, video player written in #svelte.

If anyone is friends with any Georgian air traffic controllers, buy them a nice bottle of wine. As guardians of pretty much the only narrow gap still available between Europe and Asia that avoids both Iran, the Gulf, Ukraine and Russia, they are under some substantial pressure.

A reminder that that Piers Morgan was an unpleasant piece of work back then as well.

Twelve diagrams show sketches of different curves and describe the message they send in a humorous way. An exponential curve for example says β€œLook, it’s growing uncontrollably!”

Driving 4x4s up and down our chalk streams puts our local ecosystems at risk.

I spoke to ITV this week about this trend of ecological vandalism and how I am calling on Hampshire County Council to take decisive action to protect our chalk streams.

I was given a Belmond voucher for a reasonable sum back in 2019. Still have it as it only bought 2/3rds of 1 ticket for their cheapest experience back then.

The first chapter on "a better government" is v. interesting...

"people centred", "open and transparent", "measurable outcomes", "test and learn"

Political parties don't often focus on ways of working/culture in government.

Probably the driest bit of a rather boggy walk in the New Forest from Brockenhurst to Lymington.
