They're building an amazing rollercoaster at Rachel Reeves World called "OBR forecast". Just when you think it's finishing there's a huge drop called "the Strait of Hormuz".

Very sorry to see that Sir Alex Younger has died of cancer, aged just 62. Younger's wife 'was shocked that he had never told his mother he was a spy, and so he did. “Yes, darling, so was I,” his mother replied.' www.thetimes.com/uk/obituarie...

How did J.K. Rowling go from the world's most beloved author to its most divisive? In this week's episode @iandunt.bsky.social and @dorianlynskey.bsky.social ask what Rowling’s early life can tell us about the path she has taken over the last decade. Listen / watch ➡️ linktr.ee/originstoryp...

Gee, thanks eBay

A good cautionary tale for when someone claims that trusting data analysis done with an LLM is good because it’s “objective.” In this example, Copilot apparently decided to ignore the data it was given and just run with all the subconscious biases its (human-made) training data inevitably gave it.

No photo could do it justice, but the very top branches of the copper beech tree in the road behind are catching the dying rays of the setting sun, illuminated and dancing with a light wind against the dark clouds.

In New Mexico, wonderfully, if it's tied, the two candidates play a single hand of poker.

Anyone following me interested in vintage mens suiting? I have a fun new toy I'm building to share....

Wrens are usually solitary birds but when it’s cold they will sometimes huddle together for warmth. Some people call this a ‘herd’ but technically it’s known as a ‘scene’. That’s because chilled wren should be ‘scene’ and not ‘herd’.

‘I’m fighting two wars. One against the Russians. And one inside myself.’ Ukraine is reshaping warfare through its use of drones. Yet human operators remain at the controls. For @ftweekend.com, I profiled one Ukrainian FPV drone pilot to examine the personal costs. www.ft.com/content/95f5...

nice try, brian wilson but none of my pets have ever made any of these sounds

For a time I worked in a shared office space. Various companies each had a floor. The gents was on the back stairs, and sound travelled. Once heard someone a couple of floors below on the phone saying "Technically, we haven't laundered any blood diamonds".

On a bus to the Trafford Centre surrounded by The Youth. The lads behind are discussing their hair types and care requirements.

"but aside from that,"

I think a lot of MPs react very negatively when they get to Westminster when they first arrive (understandably so) and they react against things like the chamber set-up or the bars but what is really underlying that feeling is “oh shit I have no power.”

Really? I assumed it was a beef with some editor who’d savaged his copy.

I would go further: there are vanishingly few examples in history of actual false flag attacks, and very many of state actors taking advantage of real attacks to pursue their preexisting agenda.

I don't get why a bunch of people on BlueSky instantly concluded this assassination attempt was fake? I mean, like, I guess it could be, wouldn't be the strangest thing to have happened ever. But probably not, surely? What would even be the point of that? Just - why the weird conspiracy brain stuff?

The most important dividing line within couples is Team Early To The Airport versus Team Late To The Airport. I seriously believe you should be able to filter for it on dating websites. (I am also Team ETTA, obvs).
