I doubt the public has received good value for money for centre 'art design'.

The problem with this article is they asked too many lawyers and not enough historians. As a historian, I'd say the legality of Trump's immunity and pardons depends on how he leaves office. At 40 over 55 approval? He's immune. At 25 over 65? He's probably not immune & self-pardons aren't legal.

Bristol Council Audit Committee - 25th November, 2025 Attached is my statement. I think politicians in Bristol have fundamentally failed to look at why the Mayoral system was so unpleasant, and have assumed that moving to a committee system would be better.

I've built a socioeconomic system that depends on everyone to do useful work and act ethically except the people at the top, who get unimaginable rewards for being antisocial frauds and criminals. And I think it will stand the test of time

“Footage, obtained by the outlet, captured the musician face-down in the mud, with her instrument about two feet to her left, struggling as what appears to be a federal agent straddled her backside. A police officer stood next to the pair.” The Feds then jailed her across state lines. For music.

If it wasn’t incredibly obvious before that X revenue sharing is treated as a slush fund for Elon to funnel cash to his future baby mommies and favorite right wing influencers, it is explicit now.

Imagine that

Heather Honey, a high-profile denier of Donald Trump’s loss in the 2020 election, was appointed to a senior DHS position in which she’ll help oversee election security. “DHS now appears poised to become a primary amplifier of false election conspiracies pushed by our enemies,” one expert said.

I need your help!

All hell is about to be unleashed on people utterly unprepared to discern truth from falsehood.

It's just so dumb. I hate that it's so incredibly dumb. It's like waking up in Nazi Germany but the official march is Yakity Sax and instead of Hugo Boss the ss is wearing golf outfits around town. It somehow makes it all worse.

One of my favorite anecdotes from THE PREHISTORY OF THE FAR SIDE: "That doesn't sound like the Jane Goodall we know."

Since WW2, 19 seats in Westminster have been won with less than 30% of the vote. Ten of those were last year. They'll be a lot more next time.

"There is no place in America for political violence, it's just not how we are." say the same pundits who have spent months both-sidesing increasingly ubiquitous, institutionally driven political violence.

This is how I feel every minute. Then I have to go to work. Then I cannot fucking believe this is happening in our lifetimes. Then I go to the grocery.

We’re being governed by monsters. Just absolute monsters.

I wonder how much of Trump's behaviour is 'normal', but is usually done far more subtly, and far from the public eye.

we could really use a major Hollywood picture about union soldiers being turbo woke pilled

So. A time line of early November 2023 for the events related to the Barton House emergency. Arup were giving engineering advice to Bristol City Council. A joint workshop was held on the 8th of November to discuss the safety concerns.

I got it.

Convicted fraudster George Cottrell, Farage’s right-hand man, has launched a polling company, but we can’t find any staff, media coverage, or much polling data. Is it just a vehicle for dark money? goodlawproject.org/is-the-shady...

In partnership with St Mungos, the Severe Weather Emergency Protocol has been activated due to hot weather. This means that there is emergency support available for rough sleepers.

If you see someone sleeping rough in Bristol, and feel safe to do so, encourage them to call 0117 4070330 to speak to the Outreach team. If someone needs urgent medical help, call 999.

I made an objection about money being wasted to protect reputation through the multiple appeals against the ICO enforcement notice.

I'm pretty sure that BCC unlawfully deleted emails.

I've raised a complaint as I think I have had an FOI request unlawfully denied, and then the emails deleted.

Hmm - @david-s.bsky.social The appeal seems to be very narrow, and isn't obviously in the interest of the people of Bristol.....

Codes of Conduct are hard: train "yourself against writing rhetorical questions around engineers", edition.

This is bad for boys, but even worse for girls, who don't feel that the skate park, the fenced pitch or the pump track are 'for them' and so are left with nowhere to go. They say that they hate the 'bedroom culture' but have no way out of it. tiny 🧵

From my youth, this would be slightly more appropriate.
