I'm gonna guess that "embracing the mediterranean life" here does not extend to the government doing anything to adapt the country to this changed climate.
"Not a serious party!" brought to you by the people who called Keir Starmer "forensic" unironically for an entire summer.
I thought this emoji 🫂 was a cinema projector until just now fuck you

1. He hasn't done this 2. If he had done this, it would be illegal as fuck
Also, this can't be stressed enough: the Treasury doesn't have a bank account like people and businesses do, with income and outgoings. When the government spends money it creates it. That's not consequence free, but saying the government's finances are like a household budget was a lie.
Sam Freedman@samfr.bsky.social · 2w agoIt's driving me insane. The govt spends £1.4 trillion a year. Borrowing estimates are often by tens of billions over a year. But we're supposed to imagine money is budgeted to the last penny.
This is the only metric by which we should be judging politicians.
Saul Staniforth@saulstaniforth.bsky.social · 4w agoSir Chris Bryant is backing Burnham. Yes there are those who tell us that once Burnham is PM he'll shift left, but its noticeable that those who've spent the last several years ruthlessly punching left are remarkably relaxed about his leadership.
Listening to Sir Anthony Seldon talking at ALSO Festival about Brexit and finding it wholly unsatisfactory. I think he is a highly intelligent, educated and well meaning fool. Unfortunately there are many such people.
I have found the only place in England where it is raining.
Too windy or too hot are the only kinds of weather we can have now.
I suppose Americans telling us AC is the answer does make a change from Americans telling us guns are the answer.
Every hometown's got the ominous megastructure, what's yours'?

I even needed security clearance before they would let me work as a sub contractor on a software project for the Passport Office.
Liz Jarvis MP@lizjarvis.bsky.social · 4mo agoWhen I appoint a member of staff I have to wait for them to pass security vetting, as do all MPs. It beggars belief that the PM would not have known that Mandelson had failed to pass developed vetting for a position as high level and high profile as Ambassador to the US.
Genuinely did not know spiders drank until today.
Sue@cameratrapsue.bsky.social · 5mo agoAll creatures large and small are welcome at the water bowl. 👍 🦝 🕷️ I like how the spider uses its silk string to leave the water bowl. I zoom in to the bowl so we can see the spider a bit better as it was really small.
Raising a glass to the chap who once wished me "happy Pi Day" and, being British, I answered I preferred to celebrate it on the 22nd July, and he retorted "but that's just an approximation!"
By the sounds of it, I think my dishwasher just yeeted the tablet out rather than releasing it
"Briefing against" only exists be because journalists are on the team. Powerful people should not be given license to trash less powerful people without putting their name to it but that is 90% of british political journalism
Your fear of looking like a dummy is holding you back you are a dummy accept it you learn more, and it's more fun once you do. (not original)

It's like the person I heard of who found that posting a question on StackOverflow and then immediately answering it incorrectly using a sock puppet account was an infallible strategy for baiting nerds into supplying the correct answer who otherwise wouldn't have bothered.
derek guy@dieworkwear.bsky.social · 6mo agostop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.
Have had a stinking cold for 5 days and coughed so much that my muscles now hurt when I do it 😖
