We should not underestimate the massive amount of cognitive processing power currently being taken up by having to map and re-map constantly the position and location of every single ruddy pothole on every single road so as to avoid losing a wheel whenever venturing forth from home

What does the potentially emerging energy crisis mean for Europe?

Yesterday I was in a media briefing with 75 journalists. Here is a snippet of what I told them.

This president has called members of the WHCA "scum", "fake news," "enemies of the people," and a female reporter "piggy." Just a year ago, the WHCA was criticizing Trump for undermining "the independence of a free press in the United States."
Now they're "happy" to host him.

10 years ago, Bernie Sanders warned America of the unintended consequences that could emerge from a regime change war with Iran. Watch.

I've still to sow mine. But we grew 11 varieties last year - our first year of having an allotment - and it was delightful.
Shop bought tomatoes in winter are now horrible by comparison.

Because one person may control multiple accounts (work and personal), we need Bluesky to help us avoid posting from the wrong ones.
The Appearance setting should be made to control individual accounts. That way we can change backgrounds etc so we can instantly see which one is active & avoid errors.

I'm in exactly the same situation. Got to get some earlies in before the tomatoes take over the greenhouse.

How about non-British and non-dom citizens donating to political parties and owning media?

Nigel Farage lied multiple times at his press conference today - including saying no-one who voted Green in Gorton and Denton has a job and he's "certain" Reform won most British born voters in the by-election, based on zero evidence, and yet not a single journalist there pushed back on them

It's sad that these racist 'flag-shaggers' have stolen our nation's flag and turned it into something most right-minded people are now ashamed of.

Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey:

"Tax exiles like Isabel Oakeshott and washed up old footballers who mock ordinary people who stay in the UK and pay our taxes... As we protect them, it's only right for tax exiles to start paying taxes to fund our armed forces, just like the rest of us".

Reform are not the Opposition. They have had fewer MPs elected than the Green Party, which had five elected under their banner in this Parliament alone.

STOP. MAINSTREAMING. REFORM.

If the BBC had given them coverage proportional to their actual significance, we would barely know who Farage is.
