For readers outwith Scotland: gritters in this country are canonically part of Iain M. Banks's Culture. Formally, they should be referred to in the form "GSV Ploos Yer Doos"; the initials stand for "Grit Spreading Vehicle".

It’s the exclusive everyone wanted, the story that will win next year’s Pulitzer…
I can reveal London’s giant AI generated Christmas artwork, the subject of much online mockery, is being torn down - and I honestly *genuinely* think you’ll never guess why. www.londoncentric.media/p/ai-artwork...

London's giant AI artwork to be torn down
The bizarre story of why a much-talked-about creation is being torn down. Plus: Docklands Light Railway extension, giant laser stalks the night sky, and more tales of Android phone theft rejection.

A very stark reminder why no one goes out on foot after dark in Churchill, Manitoba. This mom and her cubs came just off the beach and behind the town complex. The Polar Bear Alert staff gently herded them away from town to keep everyone safe. #mammals #BearSeason2025 🌿

Having one of those days when I wish I lived in the fictitious version of academia that people inveigh against, in which (a) I have a TA to do the marking that I don't want to do (b) I have a spouse to do the cooking I don't want to do (c) I don't need to spend 1hr+ designing scaffolding of HW

Having grown up in Russia, I approve. I also find that it’s a great way to get tight with Canadians. (If they are of a certain age, being able to discuss the 1972 Summit Series will make you friends for life.)
There is also bandy, which is this but on 3x speed. Shame we don’t have the climate

For some reason, had never paid attention to the official music video for MeatLoaf's IDAFL(BIWDT) and can't get past how much some of the scenes remind me of a Timotei ad

Original plans to Catch Up On Work Backlog scuppered by lack of sleep and Boxer-can't-push-himself-as-far-as-he-could. On the plus side, there are worst ways to spend a Sunday than pleasantly tipsy after two large classes of wine and letting the YouTube algorithm pander with music from the 80s

On the form a British citizen and non-citizen spouse must fill in to live together in the UK you have to declare a reason you *can't* live together elsewhere. The default position of the UK government since 2012 is that a citizen who married a non-Brit should just leave.
The UK already prohibits MARRIED BRITISH CITIZENS from automatic family reunification, including my own, which is why my wife and I have to live in a third country together. Mahmood wants to further erode the Right to Family Life assured by the ECHR. This is an evil anti-family and anti-human policy
