This oaf is fast becoming a serious challenger to Daniel Hannan for the ‘Wrongest Man In The World’ title.

"Generations to come"? I'm starting to suspect that the people who make money selling gas might not have a plan to transition us off fossil fuels after all!

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countries—including the United States.

"We aren't following any stupid rules of engagement." Hegseth orders a submarine to sink an unarmed Iranian naval vessel in the Indian Ocean to participate in India's peace exercises. A war crime? Well, the US tried, convicted and imprisoned German naval officers for doing roughly the same thing.

Unacceptable and inappropriate.

The 7F loco 53809 from the Somerset and Dorset railway - at Green Park Station for the S&D anniversary.

The petition to open the route from Bath to Midford as a shared use path. Hundreds of signatures over a single weekend was key to the success of the campaign as this demonstrated solid public support.

This week saw the 60th anniversary of the last train services on the railway.

Here's two photos from the 40th, in 2006, a steam loco brought to Green Park - an event that also hosted the launch of our public campaign for a shared-use path.

The route opened 7 years later, on the 6th April 2013.

Really hate this iteration of the world where people are unable to hold both notions that Iran was under a fundamentalist dictatorship which needed to go to benefit the people but the US attacking Iran was only to benefit western imperialism and not the Iranian people.

A sickening society is clear in these statistics

So why is it not in the news?

Powerful wake-up call from @chakrabortty.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"countries will jointly plan for how an evacuation of people across land borders can be carried out. This includes reviewing transport, border controls, evacuation corridors, the reception and registration of people..."

"All great civilizations have been based on loitering...Think of the Greeks. What were the Greeks doing in the Agora? Loitering. Not getting agoraphobia. The result is Plato."

Finally, let's take a look at the human impact of the Home Office's actions...

A cheese vending machine on a French motorway service station

How about a tour of motorway cheese vending machines in France?

Did you say 'Thank you!' once??!?

Liking the implication: 'Perfectly capable of doing so but implacably will not'.

I wonder if on one of the Indian channels some middle-aged comedian is being sent around Britain, getting the Thameslink to St Albans, sampling pey wet in Wigan, poignantly observing that there are homeless folk on the streets even in Knightsbridge, and so forth bsky.app/profile/jack...

What, labelled with the cat's name so it knows which tin to fetch from the cupboard?

The Dundee Evening Telegraph not fucking about with the headline.

How is anyone still surprised by this? It’s the Trump way: all deals and relationships must be grossly unequal. Anything else indicates money left on the table.

See if Claude can vibe code some circumspection maybe

1953. It would appear that absolutely NOTHING has changed

Also this: “This was never meant to be a fair fight and it is not a fair fight. We are punching them while they are down.” This and other remarks of Hegseth echo statements of Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel at the outset of WWII. Keitel was executed for war crimes at Nuremberg.

Oh interesting, people who don’t know how to build software are getting mad at my post about building software. Cute.

Let me be clear, over the next year, the job of software engineer will shift dramatically to no longer have typing syntax into an editor as its primary time sink.

I aspire to exude as much confidence as this little Kinesin protein strutting along a microtubule while hauling intracellular cargo.

Look at that little guy go! 🔬🧪
