Labour CLPs in traditionally safe seats are notoriously shit at judging counts, and Reform don't have anyone with a clue about any of the practical aspects of politics. (and the other parties don't have enough people there to get the data) Do not trust count "rumours" until you can see the piles.

Just in time for Pride, we have news about the notorious "pink planet," a billion year-old gas supergiant that's 57 light years from Earth. Turns out that this old, pink planet is extremely salty, which feels relatable.

Ancient historian thoughts on Iran mess. One thing that always struck me about the Hellenistic kingdoms is how quickly they surrender. These are kings who build up their whole self-definition about being good at war, but they quit as soon as they lose a battle.

apropos of whatever, using "nae" indiscriminately in place of any instance of "no" or "not" is a sure way of demonstrating that you're trying on a Scottish accent or Scots language that you're actually not that familiar with

My boring take, from other peopleās experiences and my own: Doctor Who is a ferociously difficult, near-inhumane show to produce. Brutal for every department, but particularly for one person to hold at the top as it is. If they want the best range of pitches, the production model needs rethinking

This is worth discussing, because you'd think this would be the case but it is really easy to note that in actual practice nuclear powers generally give each other a wider berth than this. The reason is that red lines are ambiguous and the cost of being wrong is huge. 1/
