Our usual Evri delivery guy is lovely and reliable. He's a friendly face around the village. He must be on holiday because apparently someone attempted delivery today and left this photo as proof.

A photo of a driveway, probably mine but there are no features to confirm. The image is slightly out of focus and looks like when someone is just holding their phone and doesn't realise they've activated the camera.

I saw the LinkedIn post this article refers to as it had been liked by someone I knew from St Andrews. I was there 30 years ago and it felt like the class tension (while very noticeable) was not as acute as described here but maybe I was just naive. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

I think it’s a feature not a bug of the far right position that only some nationalities can be interchangeable with ethnicity. Both posts below are an excellent rebuttal to that.

This whole chapter on antisemitism in Berlin (and Germany) is very interesting. Here you see "handed-down antisemitism" (ie not post-colonial or other newer forms) over time. #Berlin really stands out.

This is actually a great point that the Bloc Quebecois leader (yes, really) made today. I'm paraphrasing from memory, but he basically said Carney is undoing stuff in minutes that took years to fight for.

I don't have the energy to rebut everything in this piece, but it reaffirms the impression that these people did not know or care how government works and never bothered to find out. The reporter's framing is pretty credulous "many people disagree" with stuff that is easy to fact check.

Being one of the only people On Here who has ever made map decisions for a consumer product, I was intrigued when this old skeet of mine started doing numbers. It’s likely correct in today’s context but it’s also missing some important nuance, because it was about another situation. Here you go.

missing context for stories like these is that Canadian universities are in a crisis of their own -- including McGill, which recently laid dozens of staff and faculty off this isn't about Canada's enthusiasm for bettering the human condition; it's about poaching stars while casualizing the rest

We came dangerously close to undermining our sovereignty... Because the PM thought a deal could be made. Without public pressure - and continued resolve by Canadians not to give in to the U.S. - today might well be a very different story. Remember that, if nothing else. #CDNpoli #Carney #Tariffs
