Nick Ferrari - in London, presumably - asking whether we are overreacting because of things shutting in Scotland and Ireland because of the rare red wind warning. Risk to life.
RISK TO LIFE.
And then played Churchill to emphasise that we are wusses.
What an utter shitehawk.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social did I almost hear a measure being described as a "Gnat's Chuff" (or similar gnat measurement)?

Shelagh Fogarty is on fire at the moment about Gisele Pelicot in particular, and rape culture more generally. Not a listen that is good for my blood pressure, though. @shelaghfogarty.bsky.social

Caught up with some lovely friends for lunch. Now tucked up at home, Rioja, Mortimer and Whitehouse on telly and chilli nachos on the way. I can be smug for one day, can’t I?

If your local was suddenly invaded night after night by obnoxious, loudmouth attention seeking arseholes who also happen to be mates with the owner, chances are you would find a new boozer.
The parallel is obvious.

Elon's Musk is branching out and offering to reduce my energy bills. Such a caring guy. Not even in the DOGE role and he's offering to save money in my suburban house in Central Scotland. Amazing scope creep for his new job.

I've just signed up for a newsletter distributed by a company that makes hummus and falafel and I can never go back to the scheme I was born in.

In honor of all the new arrivals, I'm sharing one of my favorite videos.
It shows 24 hours of Earth's rotation, with the camera locked to the sky instead of the ground. We're all hanging out on this spinning rock.
