Yet more BBC headlines which diverge (to the right) from other outlets. All of the stories make it clear that the violence, projectiles and police focus are all related to the 'anti-immigration' protests, the anti racists are the subject of the violence. But the BBC headlines don't suggest that
Just got this email from Dwr Cymru. No, we have not been have some nice weather over the last few weeks. We've been in the middle of a dangerous heat wave that has led to at least 2 major wild fires. Stop minimizing the impacts of climate change.
In case you were wondering about the BBC's political position on Trump. Compare with the Financial Times. What a fun time we live in!
I picked posies for volunteers at the community garden. When I got mine home I realized there was a painted lady chrysalis on it.
A lot of people talking about how ancient societies, incl. those responsible for the Bible, valued hospitality and welcoming strangers. My mother always told me that a sign or rule demanding behaviour is the clearest indication that people aren't doing something.
Just seen this message when buying a new ebook. It would seem to be a major benefit of books in general. No flashing lights, sound or simulated motion.
This is the problem with UK politics and no surprise that it's from politico - whose owner loves Thiel. Burnham has a job to do, the UK needs a PM focused on fixing the country, not one focused on winning elections.
A moment to admire the flowers after a watering session at the community garden this evening
Look what I found when going through old photos at my mother's house @barmas.bsky.social @aidanosullivan.bsky.social
Vibes politics are so dangerous. This piece about Makerfield describes practical concerns like illegal waste and flooding leading to a feeling of being 'broken'. Reform uses that as it's slogan despite the fact that their policies will make those issues worse. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Great article. Interesting too that archaeology and heritage are too the fore in matters of conservation. Despite the need to see cultural & natural heritage together, it's archaeology that makes the argument for space heritage
I really value younger friends and young people are driving a lot of good things. But this just shrieks early 20s to me in a way that is both laughable and boring
I find myself in the absurd uncomfortable and unprecedented position of agreeing with the US president www.euronews.com/2026/06/02/y...
Like most science fiction about artificial life, Murderbot is thinking about what it is to be human. This, from the second book, is about the impulse not to care.
I was at Segesta today, the building was interrupted by conflict with the Selinutes
Find it hard to share academic jobs these days because of the state of the sector & jobs.Ac.uk has no sense of irony. 'great jobs for bright people' is presented without comment. It always begins with 'explore an exciting career as' in this case 'a research fellowship' precarity & grammar don't mix.
The tactical voting site from Forward Democracy states that the best tactic to stop Reform in the Senedd is to increase voter turnout. Vote and encourage others to do so. stopreformuk.vote/senedd/caerd...
That hippy rag, the Financial Times reminding us that the reason Starmer's Labour don't have popular support is because even at the time of their 'historic victory' they never did www.ft.com/content/6d97...
Great suggestion! 6 days before an election a party which is growing very quickly should engage in constitutional change to try and find an ideal structure. I'm sure you know the answer 🙄 Living up to your bio
