Asserting international law only when it is in your own/allies interest means not being committed to international law at all. Being dragged into a war by more powerful allies against direct interest and better judgement means having no strategic autonomy. The UK Govt is in a mess.

Sounds like you did her a favour.

Remember in 2018 when Trump withdrew the US from the nuclear agreement with Iran? Great times.

Luckily no gophers in this country

Happy Drive to Survive day to all who celebrate. It feels extra weird jumping back to the beginning of the 2025 season... hello again Christian Horner (Netflix really let those boos do the talking).

It’s a three-horse race! First Past the Post isn’t fit for purpose in Gorton and Denton The Gorton and Denton parliamentary by-election, scheduled for Thursday 26 February, has garnered much media attention. The outcome will be closely scrutinised by commentators for what i

With three candidates standing a good chance of winning today in Gorton and Denton, small changes in the vote could decide the winner – but whatever happens, there is a good chance that two-thirds of voters will end up with an MP they didn't vote for. buff.ly/gUjPNaQ

I know everyone hates AI but honestly, Google lens when you see someone on TV in a really nice cardi ✨

Those happy days culminating in the Winter of Discontent

Trainspotting was released 30 years ago today.

@sorchamcg.bsky.social Happy birthday!

Ooooh, Dark Sky was THE BEST weather app (and Apple also clearly agreed 😒)

Hackers Expose Age-Verification Software Powering Surveillance Web Three hacktivists tried to find a workaround to Discord’s age-verification software. Instead, they found its frontend exposed to the open internet.

Oops. Turns out Persona, Discord’s age-verification service, was secretly screening selfies against government watchlists AND accessible by the feds. It's backed by Peter Thiel.

I tend to just cook for one so I use 1 courgette and 1 tin of beans. I don't use all the water from the tin either to avoid it being too soupy. I Don't see why it wouldn't reheat, I probably wouldn't freeze it though.

Glad you enjoyed it. If you're using tinned beans rather than the fancy big jars, you'll need more than 1 (jar=400g, tin=246g).

Discernible among my friends and colleagues who remain heavy X users: affects both their sense of issue salience and the intellectual framework (i.e., usually race and migration) through which to understand them. Many think themselves exempt through critical thinking skills. You are what you eat!

I don't know. If I'm in the office, I'm not home until 6 and then I have to cook the damn meal. The only people I know who eat early are those with young kids.

Yeah, about the same, I aim for 7 but it's often later.

Local chippy closes at 6pm. Am I unusual for eating my dinner after 6pm?

Don't really have any yet, I haven't been watching the preseason testing although it sounds like all the Aston Martin hype might have been a bit premature. Looking forward to seeing the new generation cars race though.

A single panel cartoon. Moominpapa leans over a newspaper on a table, holding an empty glass. Snufkin is seated on the opposite side of the table, head in hands, puffing on his pipe disconsolately. Moomonpapa says to Snufkin: 'Tell us all that'a happening out in the world!' Snufkin replies: 'Fuss and misery..'

Hi to whoever has tried to send me a chat message. I have these turned off so I'm not sure what's happened.

I'm just glad it's not urgent.
