My professional opinion on this, is that if Trump isn't heavily implicated, his base is gonna think it's a conspiracy and a whitewash.

As a reminder, we haven't built any wind farms since 2019. Sure exported a lot of lamb tho

Responsible developers, that can make some money on building the stuff we need, do not mind paying a few quid to protect bats, or great crested newts, or peat, although they dont have limitless money. What does make them quit the scene is when regulation is unclear on what is permitted and where.

Just heard a Cherry Ghost cover on the Nescafé advert and I really hope that guy got paid well, it'd be nice if he did.

Wait there was a whole Star Trek episode about this

My respect for Froome post-crash has been increasing exponentially the longer he'd been taking Sylvain Adams for a ride, sad to see him go at last

Facebook really is the pits. That's not even a dog whistle of a page title, just a normal loud whistle.

Nothing, NOTHING more fun on LinkedIn than seeing someone you think is silly getting dragged for not knowing simple things about something they claim to be an expert in. Nothing.

Just had my first AI-assisted wrong number/call, trying to book a boat in Portcawl that has the same name as the offshore wind farm project. Living in the future is great.

I will do it. I will pilot the prime minister.

I remember getting a targeted LonkedIn recruitment message/ad looking for stakeholder managers. Seeing as your stakeholders could get executed it felt pretty sensible to ignore.

Nothing quite more depressing than seeing north Wales comms/stakeholder jobs advertised at £30k requiring two languages, and similar monolingual jobs in the south of England for £50k.

Made a far Breton pudding. I am going to make this again and probably again after that www.thefrenchcookingacademy.com/recipes/far-...

Yuusssssss

If we can't decarbonise trains, what *can* we decarbonise?

Finally got out Star Trek Catan. Longest road ftw

I am willing to lease the team the use of my name for £1m so they can at least be called "Team Josh Morris Ride Bikes Fast p/b Crimes"

"the core reason for Premier Tech to sponsor the team has been overshadowed to a point where it has become untenable for us to continue as a sponsor."

Nothing worse NOTHING than when you've been listening to Wales' best band (Manic Street Preachers) and then when the album finishes the algorithm starts playing the worst Welsh band (The Stereophonics).

Struggling to work out who wants this national park...

I think it's fair to say the report is pretty damning for both the school and councils education department

Get down your local Chinese, if you are fortunate to live in an area with enough Chinese expats/students, and ask what they've got on their non-English menu because it can be DELOCIOUS

Oh shi is that what we're calling that now

Reform are now at the point of their spiral where they're stealing Nick Clegg's slogans www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-poli...

Please nobody tell Elon Musk about Wales

@friebos.bsky.social RE: Ozempic. There was someone on the trainerroad forum who recounted taking Ozempic and quit after about a week as basically any aerobic exercise beyond strolling along felt truly awful.

I say this every time anyone asks why people near wind farms don't get discount electricity: every time it's been tried, people just use more. And the more you use, the more money you save, so bigger users (i.e. those with bigger houses, i.e. wealthier people) benefit more.

Just had someone send me a pitch for new business on LonkedIn, and I think we've gone so far down into the AI turd mine that seeing spelling mistakes is actually good.

Every time I see a social media meme about being an introvert, which is at least once a week, I think about how the modern conception of introversion was popularized by a book by a woman who worked on Wall Street who felt that she was so different and special compared to her coked up male colleagues

Sometimes (on election nights) i miss being a journalist. Then i see stuff like this. Fucking hell.

I see wind farm conspiracy theories and pseudoscience have ended up in the Senedd this week

Turns out Star Trek was only out by a year on this one, with The Bell Riots eh?

Went to the Chinese restaurant and picked stuff off the Chinese menu again. Always a 10/10 experience especially if you eat more animal than just the meat.

Every time I work on bilingual copy and collateral for work, I am EXTREMELY glad I've afforded myself three years of welsh classes. Those last-minute copy changes have gone from being costly or impossible, to merely incredibly annoying! Upskill your staff, it's worth it!

Writer's block is, like quicksand, broadly a plot device. I don't know a single person who writes for a living that has ever had writer's block, because they can't afford it. You sigh, you make a coffee or cup of tea, then you get started again and it's fine.

There we go. Renewables have brought energy bills down by more than £100bn in the UK since 2010. Cheap electricity plus reduced demand for gas minus green subsidies = £104bn. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The reaction to the budget being announced for AR7 has... not been good. Ed Miliband's work has been the bit that seems to have been working best, but looks like it has fallen victim to Treasury Brain. Basically they can get maybe 4-5GW when in reality to meet their targets they need to get 10GW+

Kids are out so I'm listening to the McLusky Do Dallas LP and not feeling weird about swears

It could be seen as far-right bias, or alternatively anti-welsh bias (pro-ignoring Wales bias) It did occur to me though. Has the Caerffili bye-election created the chance for Reform's bubble to pop?

Just received what looks like a very nice bottle on armañac, and most of a bottle of Drambuie from my wife's deceased grandmother. What the ruddy heck do you do with Drambuie?!

Nothing from any recent film lives in my head as much as the word "racacoonie"

My main tip is pack your bag and brush your teeth before you go, save yourself a trip back to your room before you have to check out

I am manifesting GOOD TIMES by buying tickets to see GLC in NOVEMBER 2026

I think this is the first time I've woken up pleasantly surprised at a vote result in... Well, I don't know when?!

Of course, Soldier F has been named pretty widely elsewhere online. That seems to be all the justice there is.

It's not *just* racists that vote for Reform....

I had an anxiety dream where I was again in a wedding band, but this time it was my turn to play the guitar solo to Living On A Prayer. That was new. Fortunately I still had all my teeth and my trousers were on.
