Isn't this the deal the US has had over Greenland since WW2? It sounds *awfully* similar to the existing security arrangement.

Well, today I got a work email telling me to do my cybersecurity, then IT email telling us to ignore it because it was spam/phishing, then later an email to say it wasn't spam and we should click on the link and do the training. Is this part of the test, I wonder.

Interest piqued by a notification for the Marlow Murder Club. What is this, I thought, some postmodern twist on noir fiction? But no. God, how Chandler would have hated cosy crime.

So they seem to have cancelled an event at Castle Rising - which is made almost entirely of stone - due to fire risk.

Kid at the park called Kendall, presumably after Jenner. Struck me that in my day there's no way they wouldn't have universally been known as 'mint cake'.

Tbh I did think the first national emergency alert might be a bit more nuclear wary. So that's nice.

Sorry but "residents, landowners and visitors" is such a weird framing. Why not just say "people"?

Some thoughts on high streets based, entirely parochially, on where I live (Bristol). 1. Income really matters Ultimately, the nice shops - coffee, gelato, hardware, little restaurants, boutiques etc. - are in places where people can afford them. You need to Baumol money into people’s pockets

I'm sorry but Outlook automatically suggesting replies like this is not going to help with creating a culture of more careful review of documents other people send you (which recent news suggests might be wise).

I'm not sure folks have realized just how crazy the second half of 2026 and 2027 will be for global temperatures – on the back of a record-smashing El Niño event. Here is my latest estimate of where both years will end up compared to global temperatures since 1850.

honestly, a middle-brow (complimentary) director doing a big splashy Classics adaptation that’s sold out for a month at the IMAX and there’s an ongoing debate about it with one of its en vogue translators is probably the healthiest the culture has been in a long time

Look, I know Middle East peace is intractable, but have you ever tried to get a small child to leave a playground?

Also worth saying that everyone immediately retreating to their corners on this is unlikely to be conducive to getting to the bottom of it all.

Comparing here and X on Arday is like two different worlds and tbh not in a way that speaks brilliantly of Bluesky’s concern about academic integrity.

I'm not qualified to judge whether such people are psychopaths. All I can say is that they behave as if they are. From today's Telegraph.

I'm sorry but when I hear 'hugging face' I do not think emoji, I think Alien. And that does not go well with any sort of mention of a security incident.
