Also struck by the bizarre answer to Sky News where he said that the U.K. had recently been run by an ‘Indian’ PM (Rishi Sunak is British) and that former subordinate colonies of Britain were therefore now ruling us. Totally wild insight into his mind.
“What wretched question have you prepared for me?” My surreal Q&A with Alexander Lukashenko. He claimed his opponents had “chosen” prison or exile (in reality the authorities had chosen to target them.) Plus, "Prison is for people who opened their mouths too wide" Thanks @lizashuvalova.bsky.social

Many legit policy reasons for making this decision. The issue is implying in opposition Labour would provide redress and then not doing. That sort of thing is bad enough normally (see tuition fees). But with trust in politics so low this has the potential to be even more corrosive

This is as good as the discovery some years back that Cornish ducks make more relaxed sounds than London ones. The Cockney quack is like a shout, whereas the Cornish version is more of a giggle.

New AI tool can track dolphins by their 'regional accents'
The tool can be helped to identify dolphin species and to study the impact human activities, like fishing, have on the aquatic mammals.

Sharing a new image from dad. A month after his five skin cancer surgeries, including a graft under his left eye, he can remove his eye shield, drive and walk along the beach. Most importantly, he can get back to his photography!

Word of the day is ‘suspiring’, from the 16th century: a deep sigh.
