A bit of cycling. A bit of fiddling. Probably too much politics. We’ll see. Edinburgh

I’m no royalist, but wouldn’t it be good if King Charles decided to visit a lifeboat station and praise the outstanding work done by their volunteers? He’s in the north east at the moment and Fraserburgh is just an hour from Balmoral. It would be a really positive signal to the RNLI! #RNLI

They’ve started demolition work on the Caledonian Brewery. In years gone by, I spent many a happy day at their beer festivals. It’s sad to see it like this.

@spokes.org.uk I was cycling along Gilmore Place & I saw these road markings. It looks like they’re planning on digging it up ☹️. They only resurfaced it a few months ago. Why oh why would they dig it up 🤦‍♂️ @edinreporter.bsky.social

Nine months ago, the United States "completely and totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear program. Tonight, we're attacking Iran to disrupt their nuclear program. A sizable percentage of this country thinks that's normal.

For posterity, here’s the load bearing structure of the bridge over the old railway on Harrison Rd. Big iron beams supporting brick arches along the length of the bridge. I think it’s very cool. Sadly, they’re not repairing it. They’re going to remove the whole deck & replace it with a concrete one.

Congress Passes Blank Bill For Trump To Write Whatever Law He Wants
WASHINGTON—After weeks of eliminating what many lawmakers called “frivolous” and “unnecessary” provisions, Congress reportedly passed a blank bill Thursday in which President Donald Trump can simply write whatever law he wants.  “Today we are sending to the president’s desk 200 completely clean sheets of paper that are hereby codified such that anything he chooses to […]

What Britain looks like after Brexit

DANIEL HANNAN

JUN 21, 2016


It's 24 June, 2025, and Britain is marking its annual Independence Day celebration. As the fireworks stream through the summer sky, still not quite dark, we wonder why it took us so long to leave. The years that followed the 2016 referendum didn't just reinvigorate our economy, our democracy and our liberty. They improved relations with our neighbours.

I’m convinced that Meta AI on Facebook is utterly pointless. All it does is ask stupid questions about posts. And then, it answers its questions by duplicating the post, prefixed with “apparently”. Hardly the dream of world changing machine intelligence that we were promised.

An important life skill to develop is the ability to not have an opinion on a thing. This is because there are many things which it is not necessary for you to have an opinion on. A related skill is recognizing that the list of things on which an opinion is required is different for everyone.

60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life. Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.
