There are people out there who voted for Senator Eric Dipschmitt.

How many billionaires do you think will lose their jobs because of AI? No, seriously: take a guess before you vote.

“The question is not whether we can afford to remain within the Convention [ECHR]. It is whether, in an increasingly dangerous world, we can afford not to” Political liars and lightweights, like Badenoch and Farage, must never be allowed to take that risk. www.lawgazette.co.uk/commentary-a...

In short, if Britain were to leave the ECHR, it would not be
'taking back control. It would be surrendering influence over the rules and institutions that help keep us safe.
The debate about the ECHR is too often conducted as though it were a choice between national sovereignty and international law. That is a false choice.
The Convention advances British interests because it reflects British values: liberty under law, democratic government and the accountability of power.
Walking away would not make Britain freer. It would make Britain weaker.

Given their self-proclaimed sustainability credentials, it’s odd how incredibly difficult it is to get to the Prince’s Foundation’s Dumfries House estate. I want to visit the Maguire Arboretum but an hour’s walk - mainly without pavement - makes it unfeasible.

Trump regularly slates @nytimes.com, the newspaper that just placed The Da Vinci Code in the Top 50 Thrillers of the 21st Century. 😳 At #26, they see it in the Top 30. Maybe the failing sleepy Ayrshire golf club owner has a point?

I wonder how many people taking off from Gdańsk airport will realise they are looking down at the potato fields of Oskar’s grandmother? (Günter Grass)

The Ethiopian Airlines app is absolutely dire. Lovely airline but proving impossible to arrange flights. It can’t even recognise its home airport… Why do airlines put out such awful apps?

EV charging in the UK is a nightmare. It never never never works first time. It’s a faff every. single. time. This has to be the single biggest obstacle to further EV take up.

The Conservative Party has developed a new strategy to deal with irregular immigration. Operation Desperate Lying is a planned media campaign to claim that the successful government campaign to reduce the numbers of irregular immigrants is an increase.

At the age of 90 year old, Czech former agricultural worker Agnes Kasparkova continued her 13 year project to decorate her small village with hand-painting traditional Moravian motifs on the local houses #womensart

Three images, one of a window surrounded by blue floral patterns on a white exterior wall, two other images of an elderly womam painting the designs

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

Reminder that small boat crossings peaked under spaffer Johnson. He only avoids being the worst PM in UK history because of Liz Truss.

Short drive today (I detest driving but it was necessary) Saw extremely aggressive driving four times on a six mile journey. All four times from big Audis. What is it about people who drive these big SUV Audis?

For 33 years, McConnell has voted against family and medical leave for working Americans. Then he disappears from the Senate for 92 days and keeps collecting his full paycheck. Apparently, paid leave is only a problem when someone else gets it.

It seems so incredibly, incredibly easy to take action to prevent this. Why is the UK so feeble at taking action to tackle obvious and endemic anti-social behaviour? This woeful governance is driving legions of voters into the hands of the extreme right. <sigh> www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Bizarre seeing so many rw social media accounts saying that the Nazis were socialists because of their name. It’s like cooing over Nth Korea being Democratic because of their name. Even Strasserite Nazis were absolutely extreme right wing. Nazis rode over all rights, especially those of workers.

It feels that for the hole that Ed Sheeran has dug, his next move seems to involve bigger excavators. On the plus side, he won’t need logistics support for the tour: not for one guitar and a pedal.

Probably an unpopular opinion (and I’m not Polish) but I believe Poland will become the European economic powerhouse over the next 20-30 years, replacing Germany, France & the UK. You can smell and feel the ambition and desire to succeed there.

Visited Gdańsk the last week. The critical role of communication (whether accurate or propaganda) in the 20s/30s and the 70s/80s is striking. It is preferable to get the channel to tackle hate speech and deliberate misinformation. But if it cannot or will not do that, then the channel needs to go.

Given that X didn’t even bother turning up to the meeting convened by the UK government to tackle the disgusting doxxing of RNLI volunteers, the question has to be asked: Is it time to simply block X in the UK?

Much as I love Poland, Christ but their museum and heritage websites are truly dire. The English versions are guaranteed not to work. Hopeless. Utter waste of space.

Depressing how every single outdoors pub terrace in Poland is awash with cigarette smoke. Really depressing. Cafes and bars really need to ban it. The vast vast majority of people don’t smoke and don’t like the smell of it.

He yells at female reporters, (sorry… Black female reporters) and NO ONE in the White House Press Corps will attempt to defend the women. That’s how low we have sunk.
