Time to show off what I've been working on.

ROTOR is my re-imagining of the UK's 1990's era Air Defence Ground Environment (IUKADGE) using live ADS-B data to feed tracks into the system to simulate the detection by various radar heads. Data from E3-D AWACs can also be simulated, fed from XPlane12.
Sad to hear of the death of John Virgo.

After a long hiatus from playing/watching snooker, I got back into watching the Masters at Ally Pally, and really enjoyed JV's depth of knowledge and his profound love for the sport.

You don't need to worry about where the cue ball's going now, JV. RIP.

We need a Royal Commission to investigate Brexit, and its backers.
Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

"It is not “unduly legalistic” to demand that the government follows the rules designed to prevent the poisoning of our seas. It is a matter of basic public safety."

You can’t just say AI tutors are going to teach disadvantaged kids. You might as well say inflatable dentists will solve the NHS backlog.

The casual anthropomorphising of AI has got to stop. They’re not ‘tutors’, it’s software. It’s not ‘one-to-one’, it’s a kid on a screen on their own.

I've been asking where are all the protest songs?

Here it is.

And it's a belter.
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

UEFA should boycott over Greenland.

CONMEBOL should boycott over Venezuela.

CAF should boycott over USAID cuts.

Everyone should boycott because of ICE.

No one should come to the U.S. under Trump.

it does feel fundamentally dysfunctional, right, to beg lawmakers to use the law to force law enforcement to obey the law

10/ This all means we have a situation where the President of the United States can relentlessly, ceaselessly and at least somewhat costlessly trigger one crisis response after another all over the world at the tapping of his thumbs.

That's why everyone looks so tired.

absolutely insane to see Musk feted at Davos as the icon of a boldly "optimistic" future in 2026, as if he hadn't just spent the last year buying elections for fascists, making Nazi salutes, condemning millions in Africa to death, and building "Mechahitler," and a nonconsensual porn/CSAM generator

"The right hand has no idea what the far right hand is doing."
Meanwhile, Rubio is blundering his way into a humanitarian crisis and the greatest wave of Cuban migration in modern history. Stephen Miller will respond by setting up machine guns on the beaches of Florida to keep them out of the US. The right hand has no idea what the far right hand is doing.
Republicans have made a documented effort to mislead these communities with well funded, highly localized Spanish language propaganda campaigns in recent years, which, as is usually the case when mainstream reporters try to tease out a segment of the electorate's thinking, simply isn't mentioned

Carole's been spot on the money so far. This impotent Labour government, cowering like a rabbit caught in headlights in the face of reality, offers nothing but "peace in our time".

Anyone recall how that went last time?
This is what historian Robert Kagan on what it means for the world.

We’re responding to this crisis as if it’s just another crisis. It’s not. This is it. It’s the political crisis of our lifetimes. And how we respond in the US & UK & Europe is critical.

The goal here is to do whatever it takes to force the MAGAs to back down before we get to a point of "the USA launches an imperialist war against the European Union."

Achieving this may require temporarily inconveniencing us Americans.

sorry!! tough shit!

1/ So, should the EU retaliate against Trump's Greenland tariff threats? There are roughly three schools of thought, each progressively more interesting than the last. A brief tour through the logic of escalation and deterrence: 🧵
