PIP legislation + my concerns about:

1. Impact on service personnel + veterans harmed on duty (Armed Forces Covenant)

2. Claimed justification

The Intelligence and Security Committee has completed its inquiry into cloud technologies. It’s statement today suggests that this is a rare example of an ISC report which may not be laid before Parliament or published ‘due to ongoing security sensitivities’.

Very excited to soon receive my first thermal imaging monocular.

Can’t wait to see how it impacts (and hopefully) improves my knowledge and management of our land.

Good luck to everyone who is making applications through the Pupillage Gateway from today, particularly FRU representatives.

There's a host of help and support out there but above all check and recheck your applications for basic mistakes.

I’ve been too passive on Bluesky for a while. The craziness of the world made me withdraw.

Time to share and celebrate more of what I love, and the positive impact I see from my and others’ work.

Hope others can share more of what they love too. 🙏🏻🤞🏻

Well, that was an unexpected last search of the day - thanks for my wife’s recent interest in wild foraging and storing foodstuffs:

“Can I store whole squirrels in the freezer?”

Yep, I’m at that stage of life. 😂

British post-knowledgeable people

Is UK post dated at the time of the “first automated processing operation” taking place?
Of all the dirty tricks: juking USPS rules so that the postmark of mail-in ballots won't reflect the date they were put in the hands of the Postal Service, creating a pretext to throw out the votes.

We want to hear from you!

Having celebrated our 30th birthday earlier this year and with a relatively new UK government in office, we think now is a good time to take a fresh look at what we are doing.

I think it is often not appreciated that the legal systems in Mesopotamia went far beyond criminal law or setting out remedies for basic torts into dealing with many issues that arise today. The formalised methods of adoption are one. But there are many others such as shipping & inheritance.
This cracked clay tablet from the 1800s BCE preserves the moment a baby named Ili-awīli was adopted from his mother Ayartum and her husband by another couple.

People adopted for many reasons in ancient Mesopotamia — desire for a baby, need for an heir, adopting child from a previous marriage, etc.
