Not sure if you'll see this but relates well to @mrjamesob.bsky.social show today. I got basically no points 😁 interactive.aljazeera.com/aje/2026/how...

Looks like Iran are holding a Strait though

Number crunching: Pay rise for nurses v pay rise for MPs From the new Private Eye, out now.

share.google/V5tyUgTnE9QB... Two things not touched on that jumped out at me. 1, Should oil be extracted "locally" the costs of doing the extraction will be seen locally and taxed. I.e. government revenue. 2, The price would still be at the barrel rate (?), but we would have supply.

Um. @theguardian.com it was a passenger plane. No cargo really goes into LGA as far as I know.. share.google/dxbNjQ06dYmk...

Interesting threads to read if you have an interest in energy/ renewables

One of my favorites!

Winner of the internets today (might need to check thread for context)

Excellent column from @georgemonbiot.bsky.social which puts Sharon Graham's malignant idiocy into its proper context. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Every day is a school day. I'm off to educate myself!

In a case of "duh". Why did it take so long to fix this though? www.instagram.com/p/DUseJcvDYx...

Just been caught singing opalite. I'm 42 and a bit. Dang.

I hope this clears up any confusion.

Someone needs to show this to Nottinghamshire CC. The flags are under the pot holes ffs. One has been there 5 years now.

I would like to bring attention to this brilliance. Also @thelondoneconomic.bsky.social needs to post here more.. www.instagram.com/p/DUfifb_Dwy...

#OtD 6 Feb 2003 Washington Post published this article saying that it was "irrefutable" Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and was working with Al-Qaeda to acquire chemical weapons and attack Europe. Worth remembering with furore about fake news stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1061...

I really enjoy when these pop up in my timeline. Similar to the bbc offering of "on this day".

Finally some sense. How is this not already a thing?

Saw "I swear" a couple of weeks ago and "Nuremberg" tonight. We have some excellent producers at the moment. I would recommend both movies if you can.

I went to see "I swear" yesterday. It really brings my thoughts to society being more inclusive and open to understanding differences in people. I hope it gets many views but I suspect it may not.

A note for sports: Bluesky’s engagement rate was x10 higher than X’s across a sampling of identical posts made on both platforms by @rapsheet.bsky.social (sharing with permission) Fwiw we see a similar trend across all communities, not just sports. Real people, real conversations.

I think it could be important right now to foi the amount central government gives each local authority, then aggregate it to a per person basis.

Latest Ofcom Media Report: - YouTube viewing on TVs has doubled for over 55s. - Half of YouTube's most watched trending videos look something like traditional television. - Traditional linear television continues decline, but viewers still gravitate to big national moments.

I can't tell if this is satire. Send help.

Excellent puns. If you want to get to the root cause of an issue and branch out your understanding, don't read the comments.

Good read on todays news. I really appreciate Dmitrys explanations.

My dumb self thought the game was called "cod: remote code execution".

Quick question: Is there any of my followers who lives near W9 and might have a cool room for the next few days for me to stay during the day and work ? Apparently there is another heatwave coming and the boat gets a bit sauna-ish when it’s over 30s…Happy to pay for it as well. #Followerpower

The audacity of the BBC to include this quote: "Christians have the right to express their beliefs on social media and at other non-work-related settings without fear of being punished by their employer." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

There must be absolutely no place for racism in Scotland. Anas Sarwar is a political rival of mine but he shouldn’t be subjected to race-baiting attacks. Farage has done more than anyone else to demonise minorities and inflame tensions. It must stop.

Always read the comments

Four per cent of voters think Kemi Badenoch will be Prime Minister after the next general election, according to new More in Common polling

Strap in everybody. It's April fools day and we have to figure out if the wild stories are dead cats, government policy or "jokes".
