Neurodivergent cat lover and enthusiastic player of card games. Sometimes ruthless.
This happened in our village. We had lovely (and safe) 19th century gates over the level crossing. Network Rail started work on replacing them. And when it was pointed out that this was *illegal* they stopped work for 8 months, closing down access to the village.
And here I was, thinking it was just known as “breaking the law.”
You’re telling me there’s a *strategy* here? Golly, I’m such a rube.

By proceeding with the demolition of the White House East Wing before seeking approval from federal agencies for a new ballroom, President Donald Trump forced the issue. It's a strategy known as "stake-driving."

No matter how many times we say Fox News isn’t real news, it doesn’t matter—because their viewers believe it is.
Watch: It shows exactly how they’re screwing all of us—you & me—because we’re stuck dealing with people who fall for disinformation. And their own viewers, because they believe the lies.

Periodic reminder for journalists that one of my brilliant colleagues — @chrisgherbert.bsky.social — built this database of Trump's posts on Truth Social, since that platform is so janky and hard to search.

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.”
Absurd we still need to go through this

@lizhandlin.bsky.social sad, but true...
I’m making my own list of text abbreviations (or initialisms) for more middle-aged, British people, like me. This is what I have so far. Hopefully they’ll catch on. Let me know what you’d add.

On the queue to see Jazz Emu tonight, I was distracted by the people behind me talking about Jazz Emoo. Mr Emu had the yod-ful pronunciation, though, so phonetic identity crisis averted.
