Yeah, for @praxiscast.bsky.social I read the latest UK Defense Investment Plan and it's just more money for the same tired over- and simultaneously underfund old boondoggles mixed with AI BUT FOR BOMBS THIS TIME.

The latest episode of @somemorenews.bsky.social is enraging. The amount of money the US pisses away on military boondoggles is staggering, and PM Andrew Starmer wants to commit even more of our money towards copying them. What a ridiculous world we have www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9IV...

Again, this is just the smoke and mirrors to stop the markets from driving up the price of fuel in a blind panic. The strikes will resume at the close of trading on Friday or Saturday morning, depending on where you live.

Reuters: Iran wants fees of 5%-7% of the price of cargo from ships using the strait; Oman wants 3%. "Making fees voluntary, at least nominally, could be a way out of the impasse, although an implied threat of Iranian attacks could mean shippers would be ​unlikely to risk transit without paying."

To put this in terms the Telegraph normally feels more at home with: Workshy scrounger invites WHOLE FAMILY to my dinner party, expecting ME to pay for his failures in providing for his own family.

Sad to see people posting on social media negatively about Rod Liddle, who died yesterday. If I have disagreed with you very strongly in life - and you die - I hope I'll be either silent, or kind.

That would, indeed, by the former Lord Chancellor and Justice Secretary - if you were curious. Glad to see he's putting in the hard yards of ...

Walker's defence, Sir Robert Buckland, described his client as "an unfit, late-40s man, suddenly faced with a situation he feared would be out of control" who "did what he thought was necessary" Walker "swears a bit, he huffs and puffs" and "gets emotional" but wasn't necessarily capable of assault

It's the Code now, but what we're going to see next is yet another onslaught of lawfare as every jumped-up, weeping terf starts suing Waitrose and your pub and whoever else they can find who isn't practicing the version of the Code that lives in their head. Oddly well-funded lawfare.

I first got 1000+ pages of court documents from Miller & Moreno's custody case. Anybody can request these from Cuyahoga County. I reviewed those by myself, one by one—no AI involved!—and the filings pointed to police reports. I then sought those out separately and spent days combing through them.

Tiger parenting was one book in the 2010s and has mostly been discredited as a very adversarial style that tends to not produce great results because your kids are "learning" out of fear of you. Anyway, great to see this applied on the national stage?

It’s so funny when people are like “sure you’re an abolitionist now but wait until you’re the victim of a property crime.” Buddy, the most useful thing the police have ever done for property crime is put the form you need to submit to your insurance online.

The War on Drugs has been a catastrophic failure for decades everywhere it's been tried. But it might work for The Atlantic!

Worth remembering that this government is subsidising a theme park to the tune of £1.3bn. An amount that would go some way to preserving the intellectual and economic footprint of our universities.

James Woodfield@jameswoodfield.bsky.social · 5d ago

According to the parliamentary annual report & accounts for the 2025/26 financial year, the cost of subsidising the bars in the House of Commons alone was around £5.8 million. Meanwhile, to save £3 million less than that, Jodrell Bank is being defunded and shut down. share.google/MRHIvCsCsKoc...
