Had a visit by the chimney sweep this morning. Noticed that the inspection hatch looked awful. Cleaned off all old paint and rust from the cast iron.

The original thread commented on how much effort went into managing Churchill, and while Churchill certainly had many and serious flaws, just the fact that he himself recognised he wasn't flawless and could be managed raises him above quite a few of the political leaders of his day ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

John Bull@garius.eurosky.social

Churchill + Attlee was an incredible leadership combo. They complimented each other's wartine strengths and weaknesses, and both were self-aware enough to know it. THAT was what made the National Government work.

Romania’s domestic intelligence service (SRI) and the Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT) attribute last month’s fire at the Carfil factory to an act of sabotage carried out by the russian Federation.

NEW: A federal judge has now ruled that former SDNY prosecutor, Maurene Comey, was UNLAWFULLY fired by the Trump DOJ. He orders her retroactive reinstatement and back pay. Comey alleged in her lawsuit that she was fired for politically motivated reasons. www.cnbc.com/2026/10/26/m...

We get similar emails at Bellingcat, usually from peolle who have been scammed and have asked ChatGPT for help.

Seems like ChatGPT encourages people to contact journalists to solve their personal tech problems: „Last night, someone emailed me (…) asking for an “independent investigation” into why their Verizon cell phone service wasn’t working on their iPhone.“ #aislog www.404media.co/chatgpt-keep...

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

So how did Lula come from behind to defeat Bolsonaro? In short, turnout. Bolsonaro's vote share barely moved. But Lula banked millions of votes from those who didn't vote in the first round & won eliminated candidates' votes. A remarkable mobilisation. Second round turnout is usually below first.

Det är lugnt, marknaden's got this. "In a statement, Meta told the BBC that it may temporarily restrict accounts to comply with India's IT Rules but did not explain the specific reasons for restricting Acharya's account or Manjul's post."

My neighbour’s stand mixer broke and I was tasked to repair it. A very small plastic pin that prevented it from starting without the lid had broken. I disconnected the switch and bypassed it with solder and heat shrink.

A friend’s (later my wife) printer stopped working. Solved the issue by replacing a missing spring with one from a ballpoint pen.

Dating predominantly to the Edo period (1603–1867), highly decorative pierced arrowheads like this piece represent a peak manifestation of samurai martial refinement and monozukuri (craftsmanship excellence).

Musk and Trump have done so much damage to the reputation of US systems with this episode. I remember last year there was a lot of fearmongering that US-made weapon systems could be switched off at the whim of the US. This was dismissed as not possible. Then we have this Starlink episode.

"Musk says SpaceX restricted Ukraine's Starlink connection as service was restored" (Musk is a US government contractor. His actions caused deaths for an ally of the US. Will there be an enquiry? There should be.) www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

@isobelhk.bsky.social För några månader skrev du om känslan av att ha löst en massa saker men att hjälten sen var slut, trött och uppgiven. Tänkte på Canardo men hittade då inga bilder. Återfann albumet nyss. Så här kommer de. Sista tre sidorna när mordet är löst men allting bedrövligt.

“Elon Musk admitted to his biographer that the reason the Hyperloop was announced—even tho he had no intention of pursuing it—was to try to disrupt the California high-speed rail project to get in the way of that actually succeeding.” — @parismarx.com And he’s kept getting SO MUCH worse since then.

❗️Elon Musk on Ukraine: “The former have grown very rich off the hundreds of billions flowing to Ukraine, while the latter’s children are conscripted to die in trenches.” He also alleged US taxpayer money is laundered back into American political campaigns, without providing evidence. #Ukraine

Stina Wollter lajkar propaganda om att terrordådet i Bondi Beach var en israelisk false flag-operation. Kontot Wollter boostar drivs av en vänsterorienterad s.k. antiimperialist (som hyllar Putin och Xi Jinping). Efter 7/10 2023 delade Wollter en högerextrem antisemit med liknande budskap. (Bild 4)
