I see they’re bringing back the Boris tunnel.

A line on a map entitled ‘Belfast-Scotland Tunnel’ (why not Belfast - Stranraer?) which would be impossibly expensive to build (not least because it goes through a highly unstable munitions dump) and which was recently proposed by Boris Johnson as a feeble minded attempt to placate Northern Ireland over Brexit

Apple Maps putting the label on the Canadian side is a neat trick…

Plot twist: it isn’t AI at all and you’re paying me to sit in a pub garden with your imaginary girlfriend.

No, it’s ‘hilarious and embarrassing’ apparently.

I didn't write "there is overwhelming pressure on UK universities to hire on the basis of ethnicity or views on gender identity". What I think is there ideological capture in some parts of academia on issues like gender/race, and this Arday affair is an hilarious & embarrasing symptom of that.

I do have replies by ‘anyone’ turned off by default. Tends to improve the quality of interactions.

Argh, right on cue (please ingnore @jenwilliamsft.bsky.social in the middle here - no offence Jen)

It's not improbable that Reform fall below 20% in VI by the end of the year. It's reasonably likely that some Lab to LD/Grn voters will give Burnham the benefit of the doubt. What's definite is that both happening will lead to a flurry of terrible
"whisper it, the two-party system's back" articles.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam or Alice in Chains

@oldenoughtosay.com is right, but I’d go further. If you respond to anyone directly on the internet, even if they’re a 24 carat bastard like Mitch McConnell, by telling them to kill themselves, you are not progressive, you’re just another asshole who needs to step away from social media for a bit.

madeline odent @oldenoughtosay.com

if you see someone from a marginalised community say something you don't agree with and your response is to tell them to kill themself, to respond to their apologies with harassment and bullying, you aren't progressive
you're authoritarian and you want to be the authority

Like this. Can we also sort out the Ashford / Folkstone boundary which follows the railway when it should follow the river!

Interestingly there is still putlog scaffolding in modern construction. It’s a cheaper option than independent scaffolding. The ‘putlogs’ are normal scaffold poles with a squashed end that can be built into perpendicular brick joints but it tends to make the joint fatter which is less appealing.

Putlog poles. Architects don’t like these because the facework isn’t so neat.

(Amazing how much supermarket cinnamon cassia is passed off as just ‘cinnamon’ - usually ground but occasionally the sticks too which is easier to see as the bark is much thicker)

‘True’ cinnamon quills have thin layers of bark

Cassia cinnamon quills are thicker and have no inner layers

Yes, the Midea Portasplit for example comes with a wall mount in the UK, and a window mount (for inward opening windows) on the continent. These are also available separately as well as a French balcony / rooflight mount.

It looks like it could be one colour but pearlescent!
