One day I’ll work out what I talk about.
Some green stuff, some nature, some cities, some wonkish stuff.
(I mean, that’s also clearly not the point, I realise)

Plea bargaining is sheer evil, though.

The last annual review concluded the SS Richard Montgomery was perfectly safe!

And as a demonstration of exactly how safe it is it also banned aircraft from flying anywhere near it in case, y'know, the wreck spontaneously makes itself a lot safer in a manner incompatible with continued aviation...

Wildly racist about non-white British people (preview deleted because it's a screenshot of him being wildly racist on Twitter — the bsky account quoting him isn't actually bad)

It’s pretty funny they’re doing that after Marvel’s pretty much collapsed from overmining that seam, though.

I have to say I’m pretty pleased that he got sensibly rich and bought a nice house in a nice area. Just the ideal amount of musical success.

IIRC, I think I did buy his big album.

Weather balloon? As far as I understand, it’s always weather balloons.

One hopes.

And now I realise why the Dublin drone delivery startup is in south Dublin.

Yep, but maybe also transgressing class distinctions in order to seem aspirational.

I mean, it’s only 7% of people.

OK, but the British Pork weird joint psychodrama family are lower middle, maybe skilled working class, aren’t they?

Right? On the other hand, I really don't like the idea of the number of superfund* sites that'd be left if they all went bust.

*which won't get superfunding

I mean, it sounds like a miserable job.

Honestly, we need to get in practice ready for release of the grocery store Christmas TV adverts, which always have a few good class signifiers in them.

Well, I sure hope that the country that produces 1 in every 6 barrels of oil globally at a breakeven cost of $70/barrel isn't provoking a trade war with China right now.

I imagine it does help that councils in Scotland have some management experience with private property, on account of being a shared space manager of last resort.

Always a joy to walk past*, thank you!

*and far too rarely to walk in. I need to fix that.

(This is not to place any equivalence between the political violence that killed 7 on January 6th and the corruption/malgovernance that caused Brexit)

It’s more like demanding their heads because they say Brexit is a failure, given Trump certainly did incite the coup attempt.

Although it’d be nice to see the Holyrood & Westminster taking a leaf out of BC’s notebook and getting the small (<20 seat) planes electrified.

Already APD exempt and, I think, operated under franchise.

Anyway, I can’t go to the (cheap, quick, easy, dietarily safe) jacket potato counter at the hospital cafe any more because I had a perfect script.

And then I drifted off in the queue, got to the front, panicked & blurted the entire script out verbatim without doing any interaction.
