Don’t let them explore you until they’ve explored the secret universes of books. Don’t let them connect with you until they’ve walked between the lines on the pages.” (John Waters I think) 000

isoma @isoma.bsky.social · 03/10/2026There's a fictionalised movie from a few years back that highlights some of the challenges of rural policing, including perennial under resourcing, a lack of effective internal security, and a heavily paper-based workflow.

isoma @isoma.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Humans are typically not good at estimating and managing risks that are low-likelihood, with uncertain but possibly catastrophic impacts. Feels relevant. 000
isoma @isoma.bsky.social · 20/09/2026If the UK can afford ≈£500 million a year (after initial set up) on improved assessments, adult assessments could be typically completed in 2 working days, and child assessments in 7 to 30 calendar days. It's feasible. That's just the start. After assessment comes support. I'll reply about that. 100

Reposted by isomaPatrick McCann @pjmccann3.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Oceans have had enough. They are reaching a point where they can no longer absorb most of the excess heat from the last 100 years of climate change and are releasing it back into the atmosphere in attempt to reach thermal equilibrium. It’s only going to get hotter. Much hotter from here. #GreenSky 101

isoma @isoma.bsky.social · 07/08/2026One of the outcomes of the Good Friday Agreement was that people born in Northern Ireland get to be UK citizens or Irish citizens with some considerable flexibility.

isoma @isoma.bsky.social · 28/07/2026UK tax flows the wrong way. The system would work better if the Treasury got most of its income from local government. Assess how much each council needs to pay towards nationally managed services, set guidance, but leave it up to them how they collect it. There'd be problems, but less than now. 000

isoma @isoma.bsky.social · 23/07/2026The TL;DR: seems to be that (human) brain cells are cleverer, and more power efficient, than people could previously show. The human ones outperform what rat brain cells can do. It's not just about having lots of brain cells; it's also about having cells that are effective. 010
