Today is the anniversary of Jo Cox's murder by a white supremacist eight years ago on her way to a surgery in Birstall in her constituency whose ethnic diversity she praised in her maiden speech to the Commons. She was a supporter of Labour Friends of Palestine and the Middle East.

The Telegraph is now having to publish so many corrections to articles where it attempts to find *any angle whatsoever* to attack net-zero polices that it makes sense to start tracking them here.
These are the ones published since Labour won the election.

This is the BEST news. (For a non-driving Edinburgher, I mean, of course. Not in any other context. Much better news is needed.. for the world generally.. But this is still a fundamentally good thing.)
Martha is keen for you all to know that Tap On Tap Off begins today on @edinburghtrams.bsky.social and the new payment system integrates with @lothianbuses.bsky.social meaning your daily and weekly public transport cost is capped - just remember to tap on and off…

Happy St George' Day!
![Cartoon for St George's day by Stephen Collins for the guardian. Script as follows:
Scene is outside a cave, ST GEORGE in armour etc is confronting the DRAGON while the CAPTURED PRINCESS looks on.
DRAGON:
So let me get this straight.
DRAGON:
You’re hoping to reinforce ‘helpless princess’ tropes…
DRAGON:
By publicly stabbing an *endangered animal* to death with a *sword*…
DRAGON:
So you can force a whole Syrian village to convert to Christianity….
DRAGON:
And become a nationalist icon for a colonial state…
DRAGON:
Through the cultural appropriation of ancient medieval dragon myths.
DRAGON:
You’ve not been *online* very long, have you?
GEORGE:
I have been quite surprised by the comments.
GEORGE’S SOCIAL MEDIA ASSISTANT [who is filming this encounter on an iPhone]:
I told you it’s problematic, George.
DRAGON:
Problematic? It’s a *bin fire*!
DRAGON:
OK. Here’s how you turn this round -
CUT TO a YoutTube post called ‘MY JOURNEY (An apology)’. GEORGE is crying to camera, Dragon in background.
GEORGE:
I am *so sorry* guys…](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4m3we4apbjayclzcnhwe3pfp/bafkreihzpskp6p4u4ejrjhmp4tdye2rzg75vmbyxbn45o5g4xk7dpairge@jpeg)

As it is #WorldTheatreDay 🎭, let's marvel at one of the most impressive and best-preserved ancient theatres of the Roman world. The theatre of Aspendos in Turkey was constructed during the reign of Marcus Aurelius by an architect named Zeno. Its capacity was about 12,000.

The UK Labour government is plunging 250,000 people into poverty with their cruel cuts.
Poverty isn't inevitable, it's a political choice.
It's time for real change. It's time to tax the rich.

You suggesting you're a better writer than me is a real fucking turnoff.
Meanwhile I ask you to, I dunno, do a mailmerge from a spreadsheet for me, or put the details of a train I just booked into my calendar, and gosh no, that's beyond you. What are you for??
