My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’
This is so disgusting.

@scottlucas.bsky.social Just watched this, very interesting... how quickly are they repairing the oil production facilities? What capacity is being lost?

I feel this could become a key point in the next six months.

Ah a #GrandDesigns project that is the idea of a tech guy... so it's going to be late, over budget and suffer from scope creep...

The govt should find 100 small things that piss people off & fix em, such as…

Ta to Politico for the vid, at its Labour fringe event, I explained that as big changes take time, govts should also have a team focused on small winnable change.

What little fixes'd you want?

Correction:
The axis should be "homes" not "megawatts" unless these projects were going to power all of the Americas! 😂

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.
