ok, so there are situations where it might be inappropriate for non weird or misogynistic reasons, I'm persuaded. But given the British public at least some of that 67% are saying it's unacceptable for weird or misogynistic reasons.

I'm also just slightly confused or suspicious why the question is iced coffee, rather than tea, say, or just any drink. Would people's responses be different? What does the choice of drink imply? Maybe I'm reading too much into it though!

Sure. if someone spills it that's not a great impression and if they're visibly not paying attention that's bad, but I wouldn't mind the coffee in itself.

I guess I've never had a workplace (mostly uni or financial services) where having a tea or coffee during a meeting would be remarkable, it happens very often, and I wouldn't think twice about anyone I've interviewed doing the same.

It's UK yougov daily questions.

Genuinely, why? What are you potentially hiring then to do that drinking a coffee in a meeting is bad form?

Is it relevant that it's an iced coffee? Is that the new latte drinking? Why are British people so weird about the significance of drinking coffee?

I presume it's old people and Tories, but there's no breakdown yet, and sometimes it surprises me.

Who are these two thirds of people that think bringing a coffee into a job interview is unacceptable?

Yougov daily question: British people being weird and 67% saying it's unacceptable to bring a store bought iced coffee into a job interview. Is it relevant that it's an iced coffee?

So you replace a good, balanced set of combat and item mechanics with one that doesn't make sense. You play Minecraft to be able to interact with the world, but the world here is still fixed. It doesn't really understand either game.

Completely unoriginal, and also sounds awful gameplay, because it doesn't really integrate the mechanics at all, it just lets you use Minecraft items in Elden Ring.

That wasn't terrible in the second half, Scotland looked in charge of the game, but two good chances squandered and they never really looked like scoring for all the pressure.

For my crimes I'm catching up on Scotland Slovenia while the other cat, who won't take her medicine or eat her food, is thankfully not doing her usual constant yelling and is sleeping on me.

Child is big enough that the cats are definitely the more troublesome though. Pickles, pictured sleeping off his crimes, escaped within hours of her leaving*. *He's blind and not meant to get out onto the street.

I don't think the left can really persuade conservative elites of very much directly, but we can address the general public, and maybe liberal and centre left elites.

Without Pity @withoutpity.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Maybe if liberals and social democrats stood up to the far right and actually countered their arguments, rather than pandering to them, that might shift opinion and encourage conservatives to do the same.

The internet already existed in 1997, there were thousands of Chinese people in Scotland, and two libraries on the street where she wrote the book!

Right-wing politics is laden with contradictions, but "We're the movement of authentic, traditional masculinity who have to ask for help sounding tough from the calculator" is one of the funnier ones.

The problem is that "while you weren't looking the tech industry was comprehensively taken over by a cult based around a piece of Harry Potter fanfic" is self-evidently an absolutely ridiculous claim that can't possibly have happened, which is a real problem given that it 100% did happen.

Walked from Kenmore to the Falls of Acharn and back along the loch. We saw a hare and lots of butterflies and dragonflies.

Signpost: Kenmore one way, Rob Roy Way in two others.

Today about 100 people took part in a mass trespass in the Prime Minister’s constituency. There’s a right to roam over just 1% of Makerfield, & today the landowner proved our point for us: putting up fencing & calling the police. @andyburnham.bsky.social - please open the door to the countryside!

The crannog centre is great by the way. If you're ever around Loch Tay you should go. Nice cafe, little village of round houses where you can watch people blacksmithing, and weaving and cooking.

020

I think it's our third or fourth time visiting the Scottish crannog centre, but the first time we've actually got to go in one. No one's quite sure why people in Scotland and Ireland spent 6 to 10 years building these things in the iron age, but they're fucking cool.
