Average Saturday:

1. "Well, it's time to look at A."
2. "Oh, I was also supposed to do B."
3. While doing B, I notice a bunch of random TODO items I completely forgot about…

Very overcast today but it was still a lovely walk up Glastonbury Tor and round the lanes nearby.




I hope I can return that car I bought expecting a refund... (this is a joke for you slow people). #SouthCarolina


John Van Reenen (LSE) is the key economics advisor to the Treasury, despite his views being (at the very least) divergent from the Treasury mindset, that we might attribute to Rachel Reeves.

The big Q. is whether the views set (briefly) in Heather Stewart's profile will find their way meaningfully into policy... I'm sure they'll be alluded to but the proof will be whether they actually shape Labour's economic policy actions.

Or he may resign, frustrated!

I also wonder how long Ed Miliband will survive in this cabinet. He had some good ideas as Labour leader, and indeed now within his brief - but dwarfed by Labour's big environmentally non-sensical interventions on carbon-capture and generative AI. Miliband must know these are indefensible policies.


Des milliers de personnes sont descendues dans les rues de Hambourg pour protester contre le discours du chef du parti d'extrême droite Alternative pour l'Allemagne (AfD) à la chancellerie.

#AFD #ExtremeDroite #Allemagne

A l'approche des élections, l'AfD reste deuxième dans les sondages nationaux. A Hambourg, elle occupe toutefois la quatrième place.

😜 I autopiloted to "opening up" before I realized that it's Saturday. Which means I get to fuck off all day.

With everything that is going on, I didn't feel like writing a satirical post today, so I wrote this instead x

#LAFires / #ClimateChange / #abpoli 🧵

Don't do a moment of silence for the LA Fires. Make it a moment of LOUD. And make it more than a moment. We change the system, we fight the problem or we ALL BURN. And that's that.

#LAFires / #ClimateChange / #abpoli 🧵 /3

To know that odds are against anything important being learned from the #LAFires you need only look to Alberta & its politicians mouthing the same cooing noises about our own beloved & burnt town of Jasper in 2024 then ramming through an open pit coal mine in 2025. You laugh or you cry.

#LAFires / #ClimateChange / #abpoli 🧵 /END

If hope's to be had with the #LAFires. it's that somewhere in this world's Mecca for filmmaking, tv production & story telling is somebody who'll tell the truth about it:

This is #ClimateChange, you were warned long ago & if you truly care about these cities you'll do something about it



Year Of The BSD Desktop? There's Going To Be A BSD Desktop Conference At Least

Technical BSD conferences aren't quite as common as the many Linux conferences these days. For the BSD conferences that do happen they tend to be more general in nature than carrying a desktop focus. But being announced this week was GhostBSDCon 2025 as a forthcoming developer conference largely focused on desktop use of this FreeBSD-derived distribution.…

France has banned the private renting of EPC G or lower homes as of the start of this year and will ban the renting of EPC F homes in 2028 and EPC E homes in 2034.

Around 7% of Scotland's private rented homes are currently EPC F or G and 12% are EPC E meaning that if Scotland replicated this law, private landlords would be forced to lift around 56,000 households out of the extreme fuel poverty they are keeping their tenants in.

Phantom Architecture by Philip Wilkinson

The buildings in this book are interesting for all kinds of reasons. They are the cherished schemes of rulers or city governments; attempts by architects and planners to show us better ways to live; buildings that glorify heroes or leaders; responses to urgent and pressing needs; endeavours to turn architectural norms upside-down. They all deserve our attention.
