One thing to remember if you're trying to understand Trump's continual love of Putin. Putin is an enemy of the west. He's an enemy of democracy. He's an enemy of the rights of ordinary people. But he's not an enemy of the rich.

I agree that imperial units are silly and we should probably run on metric for lots of practical reason. But you gotta admit that they're a fun discussion prompt for trivia; everybody thinks there's an internal logic but it's just all weird history! For example nobody's gonna believe that it's […]

In two years, the world protected an area of ocean larger than the EU. About 5 million km² of ocean came under protection in the two years to April 2026, lifting global coverage past 10% for the first time. That’s the target countries agreed for 2020, albeit six years late. However, over 100 […]

Claims of increased productivity rest on the affected people and organizations actually being able to measure productivity which - aside from traditional manufacturing processes - is often very hard to do if not borderline impossible.

Met a group of six long-tailed tits two days ago when the sun was out. I always hear them before I see them. And their sound, the tsirr tsirr, makes me smile.

A small white fluffy bird with a very long dark tail, a small black beak and a dark peppercorn eye is perched on a naked branch, the sky in the background is very blue.

One thing I find endlessly funny about the rise of AI is that it has revealed that there is a large number of people who believe that the reason they wrote essays at school or university is their teachers were desperately waiting for them to provide a definite answer to “Lear: what’s up with him?”

Snaps from a quick jaunt over the Forth with the kidbots yesterday, for a little walk and a big lunch.

A bent tree trunk catches a tiny beam of sunlight falling into the otherwise shady glen in which it sits. Behind the tree, is a waterfall.

Two kids traipse along a narrow path running across a steep hillside, looking over a small glen on their left. The flat Forth Valley is just visible in the distance, stretching away from us under cloudy skies.

Looking up to the sky from under some trees, we see the sun shining out over the top of a big fluffy cloud. The cloud has a brightened edge.

A slightly abstract photo of parts of two bridges, shot against a cloudy sky. Across the top of the frame is the structure supporting the deck of the Forth Road Bridge, all grey but with strong contrast from the sunshine which shines part way through the mass of structural elements. Down at the bottom of the frame, part of the red diamand-shaped central tower of the Forth Bridge is visible, in the distance.

@mrundkvist Ahhh, yes. That brings back an old classic to mind…

Englandball and Swedenball are discussing how “dog” can be conjugated. English has two (“the dog, two dogs”). Swedish has three.

Germanball joins in; “wait, I want to try too!”, Englandball gets angry (“no, bugger off!”) and Swedenball gets all dizzy be the many German conjugations.

Then comes Finlandball… and absolutely fills the page with long and strange conjugations.

Germanball, Englandball and Swedenball are all spent. Finlandball happily announces: “And now for the plural forms…”
