Was it sand?

FPTP is like The One Ring of politics in the UK. They know they need to destroy it, but once it's in their hands they think "Why shouldn't we keep it? We can use it for good!" and then everything goes dead-Boromir-shaped

Wasn't this part of the plot of "A Colder War". @cstross.bsky.social ?

Morning! Let’s all do our best today not to vote for racists.

As people get ready to vote in the Scottish Parliament election please be careful of the spoiler operation which is 'Independent Green Voice'. They are listed second on the regional ballot paper in South of Scotland with the Green Party further down. IGV is a right-wing spoiler operation.

"If only the Tsar knew"

I rarely post about politics but as in America, I'm worried a lot of people are being misled by devious people. Whatever you do this week, please don't vote Reform. Only an ignorant, racist, bigoted lamp post lover would do so and iit would be very bad! Vote for one of the other parties.

Technical debt as a service.

Just left a one-star review for a company that folllowed up a purchase with multiple unsoliocited email requests for a review. Needless to say there was no option to unsubscribe so hopefully they'll be happy now.

I’m looking for an automated way to read others’s scientific data without giving credit or acknowledgement, and also claim full credit for insights from it. And I want it to have a fitting name OAI: say no more

love how every lapsed Catholic I know is re-activating like the Winter Soldier every time JD Vance opens his mouth about the Pope

This is the way.

The US military has 22 sites in the UK. Every day long range US bombers are taking off here to drop bombs on Iran. This is a rogue state carrying out war crimes, and threatening more. The UK Government must grow a spine - and stop our bases being used for this war.

During this incredible, unifying moment of inspiring international cooperation and spectacular technological achievement, I would really appreciate it if the US president would stop threatening to murder an entire country with bombs.

I can't see @psbhq.bsky.social getting much out of this.
