Learnt from the TF podcast that the UK government didn't apply the Online Safety Act rules to online gambling, and I think that tells you everything you need to know about how the country is run.

"SNP faces a choice of 2 futures at its conference, because Mr Swinney's target of an SNP-only majority is totally unachievable, whereas the alternative proposal of seeking an outright mandate for independence on the list ballot . . is perfectly achievable."

In 1999, just before the Scottish Parliament reconvened, the Labour uk government enacted โ€œThe Scottish Adjacent Waters Boundaries Order 1999 (SI1999/1126)โ€

This redrew the maritime boundary between Scotland and England, moving it northward, transferring waters from Scottish to English jurisdiction

Sudanese journalist Yousra El Bagir has managed to get some footage out of Al Fashir in Darfur, Sudan. The RSF siege of the city has cut it off from food supply and medical assistance for months. One reason you hear very little about Sudan is that the RSF kills anyone who tries to document the war.

At customs in LAX [Los Angeles International Airport]:

Customs Agent: Where are you from?

Me: Denmark.

CA: Sir, please don't lie about your nationality.

Me: Excuse me?

CA: Denmark isn't a real country; now please tell me your country of origin.

Me: Sir, you are literally holding my passport, which is from Denmark, in your hand. How can you sit there and tell me that my country doesn't exist?!

CA: Sir, Denmark is a region of Sweden, and not a recognized independent nation.

The Swedes would be fond of this encounter.
