The image is of a four panel comic.
The title for the first two panels reads “dog domestication”.
The first panel shows a wolf running with a pack. The text reads “we changed form, size, personality…”
The second panel shows a chihuahua in a dog bed. The text reads “…lifestyle, instinct, our entire way of being.”
The title for the last two panel reads “cat domestication.”
The third panel shows an image of a cat outside.
The fourth panel shows the exact same cat indoors. The text reads “we went inside.”

This must be the third video of wonderful voices singing global scales I have seen, and each is mesmerising and has taught me things I didn't know. Such as: That these scales exist and how they, the bare backbone of tunes, reflect and unlock whole world regions' music. This is amazing.

I’ve been trying to explain to the dog that he is our property. That we own him because we paid for him when he was a puppy. He doesn’t seem to be that interested though.

If, when the chicks get older, your garden is lucky enough to be chosen by one of them to be their home as they make their first forays from their rooftop nursery, you can't go outside for days without being dive bombed by mummy gull protecting her evil progeny.

If we close the window they start pecking at the metal frame like a hammer on an anvil usually from about 4 AM. And every now then, every gull in the vicinity will descend on our roof for a massive screeching gang battle.

I like to think I've overcome the species language barrier in communicating my feelings to the seagulls that nest on our roof. Every day we get woken by the chicks tap dancing on the roof and screaming through the Velux window above our bed.

Cynic! It's like you've been paying attention to things. If I get accused of breaking the law, I'm going to request a trial by combat. The old people's home down the road will be free to choose any champion to fight me from amongst their residents. We all get to choose our justice system now right?

Wasn't that based on discredited research by the famous archaeologist, Piers Morgan, who was later found guilty of treason for his role in the permian extinction event & subsequently executed with really nasty jellyfish. The execution was broadcast live on a special edition of the One Show in 1945.

I tried an autotrophic diet but it just didn't work for me. I found a nice, sunny spot & stood there for hours while my wife occasionally poured water on my feet. I was absolutely famished by the end of the day and had to have a Mars Bar.

My wife often tells me about her bad dreams. They are usually some variation on, there is loads of delicious foods then scary event occurs & someone else eats all the delicious foods without leaving her any. Genuinely traumatic stuff.

Because appointing someone who was fined £100 for not reporting that she found the phone she thought was stolen is so much more serious than choosing as your right hand man someone who was imprisoned after being charged with money laundering, blackmail and extortion.

So a quick glance at BlueSky this morning tells me that Burnham has treacherously culled all the Starmerites in his new cabinet & also traitorously kept all the Starmerites in his new cabinet. It's a continuity bloodbath. The night of the long spoons.

Scoop McNugget @scoopmcnugget.bsky.social · 21/07/2026
More with Mahmood remaining as Home Secretary because it suggests he supports her immigration policies under Starmer which I see as deeply regressive, economically damaging & more Tory than anything the Tories have ever done. But it's only day 2 & I'll see what he does over the next few months.

Politics is about winning & losing. If your side loses power, the winning side has no obligation to finish your agenda for you. There's a difference between fighting for your beliefs & throwing a tantrum 'cos you didn't get your own way. And I say that as someone already feeling let down by Burnham.

Scoop McNugget @scoopmcnugget.bsky.social · 20/07/2026
Where do people get the energy to be so enraged when a new PM of a different political persuasion to them makes some choices they don't personally agree with? If Farage becomes PM, I don't imagine he'll appoint Chris Packham, Gary Lineker & Greta Thunberg to his cabinet just 'cos I think he should.

Tory MPs tonight seem genuinely enraged that Andy Burnham's new cabinet includes some slightly left of centre figures & bewilderment that he hasn't given a job to Liz Truss.

Scoop McNugget @scoopmcnugget.bsky.social · 20/07/2026
I’m upset that Mahmood stays in post but I’m not going to write Burnham off entirely based on this one decision. Not today anyway. Starmer outsourced policy entirely to his cabinet & I don’t think that will be Burnham’s style so I’m hoping that we’re going to see a different Mahmood under him???

If he thinks he can just shrug this one off, his famous political antennae are clearly worth nothing & we’re all just as fucked as his premiership.

Scoop McNugget @scoopmcnugget.bsky.social · 20/07/2026
I’m a mix of horrified & genuinely curious about how Burnham is going to weave this decision into the new narrative he is trying to craft. Starmer & recent PMs just wouldn’t bother to explain it but he must know that’s not going to be an option for him.

Scoop McNugget @scoopmcnugget.bsky.social · 20/07/2026
Starmer has ben in with the king for a while. What if he accepted Starmer’s resignation & then collapsed & died before Burnham arrived? How long before the new PM could be sworn in? Would we be without a PM until William is coronated?

Scoop McNugget @scoopmcnugget.bsky.social · 20/07/2026
I don’t know what’s going to happen. Burnham could flame out Truss-style in a few weeks. Or he could turn out to be Britain’s most transformative Prime Minister in decades. Most likely: somewhere in between. So ends my analysis.

As an insider, all be it one who knows nothing about football, it strikes me that consistently being one of the top 2-4 teams in Europe & the top 4-6 in the world in recent years probably accurately reflects how good we are. We're good but haven't had that extra special something to make us great.

Karl Turner on LBC stated that Keir Starmer was considered to be very left wing by the Bar. Maybe that's been the problem. Maybe the members of the Bar shouldn't be considered the most reliable judges of where the political centre is?

Farage thinks winning an election in a single, friendly constituency will absolve him of all crimes and misdemeanours. Presumably then, if he loses (to a man with a bin on his head,) we can skip all of the standards and criminal investigations into him and skip straight to sentencing him as guilty?

This point needs to be made over and again: The main purpose of wealth taxes should not be to raise revenue. That's a small and secondary benefit. The main purpose should be to *reduce the fortunes of the ultrarich*. Why? Because those fortunes present a massive threat to democracy and public life.
