Given recent council by-elections: quite a lot of it outside the west end & southside bubbles
Ah, due to the unique nature the way the BBC is funded we have another option: bsky.app/profile/aida...
Ok, so, we give Rayner the Thursday morning Radio 4 slot and Melvyn Bragg takes over the government from the Lords.
There's been a couple of outbreaks of saltires in more Reformy bits of Glasgow, pretty sure they're part of the Raise the Flag fascism
Sad about this. One of the Beeb's great shows for the nerdy among us, and he was excellent at stopping academics from rambling and asking ignorant but important questions. The tendency to interrupt younger and female guests more has to be set against those things.
Daytime TV really has gone massively downhill. First time I was unemployed we only had 5 channels and there were genuine choices to be made e.g. ER re-runs and Neighbours and eventually the world cup in Japan. Now? P'shaw.
Can we just bill Truss directly?

Polanski just told Newsnight that we “have a sovereign currency in this currency” so that we don’t need to worry about the markets.
I mean sort of but also not really 1/1789
The world is bleak, however I have a Killie pie chips and peas lunch to forward too so I will persevere

yeah enjoyed that, still didn't understand all the rules on my 2nd playthrough - apparently my dwarf decker-shaman isn't a cromulent
I met president of Mongolia and made mistake of mentioning historical ownership of territories...
And they will remain the worst while we continue to ignore neurodivergence and treat disability like a personal moral failure. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
probably need to bring them back for drone base stations
if we're talking NATO standard tyres we manufacture and Israel doesn't I'd halt them. What is happening is appalling and whatever we can do to stop it we should.
I mean those things enable deployment of weapons
This is absolutely a supply chain problem. Supply chains are very, very hard to change.
I think the F35 pool is still shared?
AIUI the contracts mean components are pooled between the manufacturing countries and no one county can manufacture a complete F35
Precisely. Although I'm not keen on this level of fragility of either the planes or their procurement
F35 withdrawal would be a profound break with the US and other partners in that programme
I don't think any of those basics will help Labour and the loophole on defence is now just F35 component's?
Leaving aside the fiscal policy where I agree with you entirley: what does a sustainable gaza policy look like here? (Asking because I don't know)
I would say erdinger blue is it's own beer! Love that stuff.
By far the best AF version of macro beer
Yeah. I haven't looked much at charity accounting but limited company accounting is basically useless for any modelling
Not since the people who "agree with Nick" got what they wanted

Yeah I imagine ones with big endowments don't have much trouble with that
This is why they do coke
Does that mean you can't issue bonds?
Yeah. I imagine a lot of it is commercial lending with covenants etc?
Oooh, is there public data about university debt profile? (I'm very bored and fancy doing a spreadsheet)
This is particularly frustrating wrt Starmer and flags because, like Brown, he really loves football and should be hitting this [checks zeitgeist tape] "top bins"?
They get a bit of a pass based on a general perception of "being nice"
It's not like 1994-2007 was free of petty grudges
Give it to Rayner till the end of the Parliament
Was it whatever reform Scotland rebranded too?

“History shows that when governments see ‘reform’ as a money-saving exercise, they end up with neither reform nor more money.” Brilliant column
Lots of flags. Lots of different flags. Few of them solid red.
not familiar with GPEW but SGP has a notable problem with activist burnout and the leadership election up here was probably seen as a bit of a done deal
The reason why the Greens should be mocked and humiliated is not because electing hypnotits is funny, but because a party made up of people who believe in magic solutions and crank reasoning are a democratic disaster if they become popular. It's how you get people like RFK Jr to destroy healthcare.
Please can we not do "the UK could *actually* do austerity now because rates are high" bit, because I do not have the energy to continuously point out the gaping public service distress gap in that argument. Lower rates here *buys more fiscal space to address problems* due to lower interest costs.

English Greens elect someone who can make boobs bigger, while the Scottish Greens just elected a giant tit directly
The only problem with this is that it is built on a huge and growing rejection rate: one in three young people referred to CAMHS for help are knocked back now. That is not a sign of a functioning system.
During the hearing yesterday, Ensign said: “This has been done previously. This is not a new use of this authority. Prior Secretaries have done precisely this.” He didn't cite specific examples. What is he talking about? When did prior Secretaries do this? bsky.app/profile/anna...
If I finish Shadowrun Returns tonight I can start one of the Total Wars I bought on sale tomorrow #MotivationalMonday
Zack Polanski on the platform of Putin's little helpers STW. He wants the UK to quit NATO. That puts him on the side of Russia's fascist imperialism. As Green Party leader, he would destroy any hope of a Progressive Alliance and would help put Putin's tool Farage into power.
It's really heartening that she's seen how they're behaving in other cases and is starting out at the "you have lost all presumption of good faith" stage to *begin* with
It makes me emotional to see Judge Sooknanan showing that she values each individual child’s life at a moment when this administration is doing exactly the opposite
I knew Tobias Funuke was up to no good
Yep. This thread is now a loop (I just saw the star trek: tng episode that orbital sampled about the mobious where time become a loop) bsky.app/profile/aida...
Also, there is no sitting: back on the doorstep once or twice a week ahead of a holyrood election I truly dread. Hard to see what a good outcome looks like given the likely number of Reform MSPs
Joined the party in 2006 much to the surprise of essentially everyone. I knew what I was getting into.

Everyone should stop reading politics and listen to the new CMAT album and everything will suddenly seem a bit better.
all the best lists are prime!
Oh no - octave
That would have been 2011 not 2001 and I did that too! Was taught in some OCAML?
my sister googled "fun things to do in Boston this weekend" and it told her to go sit on Storrow Drive and watch a bunch of college kids peel their rented Penske moving trucks open like tin cans
Wikipedia thinks so, Topi Keskinen at £800k in 2024 and nobody else in the top 5 this millenium.

Realising that Hearts record transfer was < £1m and 20 years ago until this weekend and is still < £2m was a bit chastening

Americans still don't seem to get it. Canadians aren't boycotting US products because of tariffs or trade wars—it's because the president has threatened to annex Canada. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
Pour one out for Judge Sparkle Sooknanan’s clerks this Labor Day weekend
Oh. Oh dear.

apparently we got the pink bed with Zak when we fostered him from GAL. That was nearly 2 years ago.
also we have the same bed and cuddlepillar. 'mon the houndifcation
During Trumps first term there were special prison buses fitted out for infants only.
Judge: I got a call at 2:36 a.m. because the govt chose this time on a holiday weekend to execute this plan. I have been up since then. I haven't been able to reach anyone from govt until this morning at 9:30 a.m. So absent this intervention, all children would already have been sent to Guatemala!
Sooknanan then says that she had an opportunity during the break to read some of the declarations filed by the named plaintiffs. She wants to read from them because they underscore the conflicting information she's received from the government about the children they want to remove.

Totally. My sisters birthday in a few weeks is normally the last gasp of nice weather, daylight and salads
Also, again, the aim shouldn't be winning over the 10-15% who are Reform ultras, its getting the 10-15% who are drifting towards them.
“oh no my parents are going to learn what I’ve been looking at on the internet” is the single greatest motivating factor for developing tech skills the world has ever seen
