Travelodge? The letting a man into a woman’s room to sexually assault her Travelodge? Turning away vulnerable women who had rooms booked late at night? What a shame it would be if nobody stayed there ever again.

This is one result of the 7-year-long, £10 million Chilcot Inquiry: a comprehensive, detailed & crucial guide to avoiding another disastrous war like Iraq. You can understand why Tony Blair ignores its lessons, but every other warmonger in the UK?

Unlike some others, I strongly support public inquiries (and gave evidence in person to COVID inquiry). But only if we learn from them. We @independentsage.bsky.social showed many COVID failures due to forgetting Philips inquiry into BSE. Now history repeating itself with Chilcot 👇

Okay but there’s a penguincam at the Edinburgh Zoo and they’re up being weirdos at all hours of the night ❤️

Lifelong friends have*special* insight. Yesterday told mine that (having last year left my office job and in January sold my tenement flat) notwithstanding politics and AI bullshit l was feeling a lot more generous towards people lately. Yes, she said, now that you're not working or living with them
I’m starting to think that climate change won’t be solved by having every individual person volunteer to accept minor inconveniences
No I'm not reading the article, I don't want to spoil the perfection of the headline
Normalise slapping them off the face of anyone wearing them.
UK must double down on renewables as wars drive up energy costs, experts say
Every word in the phrase "high-end golf tourism" is cursed
Mine is designing a jazzy fish in the digital camouflage exhibit and a tiny girl fixing me with a gimlet stare and loudly declaring "you're going to die" in a way that suggested she might do it, rather than the digital shark. Learning point absolutely grasped
Full moon tinted orange by last of the sunset against a black sky
Of course there was a strip of haar on the horizon on this, the clearest day for weeks with a full moonrise coinciding with sunset but, when the moon popped up over the top, it was worth the wait
Asif Aziz evictions story is going mainstream. Telegraph and Independent have covered in recent days. Now the FT has done a brilliant piece - including finding another property affected, where a Ukrainian refugee and their disabled son are being evicted by Aziz. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...
Like I said on LinkedIn, this is a bad product that is bad for people. People should feel bad for buying it, using it, developing it, doing marketing for it, and otherwise contributing to its existence. (This is not about the Kenyan gig workers)
we really need to bring back social shaming
It would mean the lobbying by big US tech firms had succeeded, and the protests of the UK's creatives had been ignored.
People's work is not the government's to give away.
If you're in the UK and you care about creatives and the creative industries, please write to your MP!

This is a really weird fantasia of Edinburgh (and its geography) as it never was and is *full* to the brim of the sorts of simple yet glaring errors and anachronisms you would never have gotten if you hadn't left it to a computer to just barf out an averagised slop answer.
The annual game of 'dead or not' commences, as my neighbours wonder why I'm crouching in the garden, anxiously peering at sticks, or patches of bare earth. Sixth year of figuring this stuff out and still disproportionately excited by every new bud or fresh green spike. Didn't kill it yet!

March is Long Covid Awareness month, because March is a lot like long covid in that every time you think it looks nice enough to go be active outside, you quickly regret it.
Hello. What with pay day and everything, I wondered if anyone might want to buy my #sgtpepper book? Due to some unforeseen extra costs I am now a bit out of pocket on the whole project and it would really help me out if I could just sell a few more copies and my kids can get new school shoes…
Today I learned how to do the plumbing equivalent of 'turn it off and on again' which in this case was 'unscrew faulty toilet cistern flow valve, wash out, screw back in' and I'm cock-a-hoop. Honestly, basic things that work are my drug of choice in the current environment
PRIVATE POOL. I mean, public pool, but only me in it. Absolute bliss, if it didn't also start me worrying that they'll stop the Friday night session
Matt Goodwin definitely not a Goodloser

A WhatsApp conversation with "Nigel": I'm sorry Nigel. I did everything you told me to do. Fuck off Goodwin. Just leave that bag of Russian money by the door on your way out.
Just just a reminder a five-year-old boy and a bunny hat spent more time in jail than any billionaire pedophile on Epstein’s client list. It’s a picture of the bunny hat a little boy.
Roman dodecahedron referred to in post. Metal platonic solid, with a different sized hole on each face, and a knob at each vertex.
DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE MYSTERIOUS ROMAN DODECAHEDRONS?!?!?!
They've been found all over northern/central/eastern Europe, even as far as Vietnam, but never in Italy itself. They are made of a copper alloy and NOBODY KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE FOR.
