Texas, where they want to force the teaching of things that don't exist—like a snake chatting up someone called "Eve"—and ban the teaching of things that do exist—like race and gender. Christian Nationalism is toxic.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

The contrast between @neilmackay.bsky.social and Guy Stenhouse in today’s Herald sums up modern Scotland.
One article quotes an impartial financial report, another reads like a one man podcast promoting self flagellation.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

The Dog that didn't bark.
White House claims the emails literally prove nothing.
Except President Donald J Trump had a relationship with a sex ringmaster.
Republicans now claiming Democrats are 'cherry picking' Trump from the files.
I think that is what investigating evidence is.

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms.
He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

‘Nickname’ is not ‘nick’ + ‘name.’
It was originally ‘ekename.’
‘Eke’ was the Middle English word for “also” or “in addition.”
Since ‘ekename’ began with a vowel, people used ‘an’ before it.
Over time, 'an ekename' became 'a nickname.'
