There is an article on the Sky News app with the headline "Why there's already talk about who comes after Burnham". Whilst the subject is more about "why has Labour never had a woman leader?", the framing was definitely written with the phrase "the clock is ticking" in mind.
Genuine question & probably for @chadbourn.bsky.social : if Farage does announce a resignation from public life, how many will that be? I'm pretty sure that he's done at least 3 before...
Its weird that my youtube suggestions are filled with videos similar to the one below. I mean... he's not even taken office yet!
It’s okay but has the same problem that mongooses 2300ad has: theres a lot of pretty padding & less grounding. In the 1990s GDW set there was a real sense of a functioning universe with history - the current version has better art & better rule mechanisms - but it’s oddly soulless somehow.
...*which* island? There's a major difference between (e.g.) Kharg (north of the Gulf, where the oil terminal is) and Qeshm, Hormuz, Hengam or Larak Islands which are at the chokepoint at the mouth of the straits. Each of these represent different geographies, risks & rewards. Clarity needed!
Good morning. Here are the top 2 posts in my Facebook feed - I follow neither of these people yet am forced to wade through this BS. There are no posts from any of my friends - or groups that I am a member of - in the top 10 entries. #Enshitification
I wish the UK wasn't alone - and I hope that this is going to kick rejoining the EU into high gear (in whatever form it takes) - but being forced to be vassal of Trumps America is not something I think that anyone in Europe wants, even (especially?) the nationalists that his regime wants to support.
A genuine question here: you mention "close to" free movement of people. Do you know what that could look like & how that would differ from actual free movement of people?
As a long-time Dr Who fan, I find the fact that 1 of them is wearing a Dr Who jumper to be deeply yet weirdly worrying.
I need to repair a wall so I’ve been looking at some masking tape. I’m not sure that I’m going to use the one I’ve found as the instructions seem, well…
