Sat out, having a couple of glasses of wine before we watch the third place match a little later, under a now clear blue sky after the few light rain showers we had earlier this afternoon.
We have fields to the north and east of us, less than 100 yards either way, and yet I have hardly seen ANY insects!
Anyway I took this photo of the waxing crescent moon a little earlier.

Across the private sector business leaders & lobbyists are complaining they cannot establish contact with the team around Andy Burnham as they prepare to set up his administration as PM.
Of course, having been used to relatively un-fettered access to the Govt. for decades, business figures are now starting to panic about Burnham having other priorities.
They're likely shocked that for once they are *not* at the front of the political queue - tiny violin time!

This sounds suspiciously like spin.
Burnham in in his earliest minutes as proto-leader and I have no doubt that those lobbyists will be on board as soon as his coronation is over.
Well, maybe; this may be a convenient way for Burnham to say 'look I'm not beholden to business' while quietly letting them in the backdoor (which seems to be what has happened to some extent in Manchester?)
No barrister in British legal history has ever faced contempt proceedings over the content of a closing speech. But Rajiv Menon KC is on trial on 28 July for words recited by barristers in court for years.

Juries have had the right to acquit based on their conscience for centuries. Now, a barrister is facing jail just for mentioning it in court. Add your name to help save Britain's juries.38 Degrees

Farage for the win in Clacton
If the estimable Count Binface wins then the investigation in the House Of Commons is stopped!
Normally I would want the good Count to win, but not this time!
CCS is bullshit. It turns out it's £264bn worth of bullshit by 2050 in the UK alone.

My son was at the Argentina vs Egypt game. Just messaged me to say
"That was the most amazing game I've been to. The atmosphere was crazy, and even surrounded by Argentina fans we cheered Egypt like mad and everyone was cool. It's been brilliant."
Below is the view he had of Messi preparing for his penalty kick

Who is good for selling laptops that run Linux in the UK nowadays? I like my x220 but it's getting a bit long in the tooth, plus it's quite heavy. I used to use Tier 1 but I've no idea if they're still good.
Basically I want something like a MacBook Neo form factor but running Linux. I don't want to faff around with something that's difficult to get running - whilst I'm capable of tinkering, on this occasion I want something that Just Works.

Kind of bummed that this petition against a monstrous AI data center has not yet broken 6,000 signatures.
“One of the world’s largest AI data centres is being planned next to Auchtertool village in Fife, Scotland. The height of six double decker buses and length of 100 football pitches. An estimated 20% of Scotland’s energy will be consumed by this.”
