this is madness. airbnb & 2nd homes make it impossible for native kids to stay in their home towns. policy levers have to find a way to balance tourism and real living community. https://t.co/vhsOXMer6J

Here's something I wrote! It's about the time Parkinson hosted a debate between Carry On actor Kenneth Williams and Glasgow trade unionist Jimmy Reid. https://t.co/kuQLun8i1z

building it is the easy part
@patrickc I think there is also a component of leaders and broader society needing to have the “will to have nice things.” Every fountain everywhere will lose a battle with entropy. Someone needs to choose, and keep choosing, that the fountain is a priority.

If done right, this hits engagement hard, before any new trusty vibes 💕 kick in. it’ll be interesting to see if it ever rolls out.

🔥😂🔥 “Data Golf’s analytics said English-Morikawa was the 132nd best American foursomes team — out of 132 options. They were red meat for the Fleetwood Mac lions, Tommy Fleetwood and McIlroy. This was straight-up malpractice from Bradley”

Through two days, from the playing to the coaching to the jeering from the fans, this American effort has been a complete embarrassment.

Pete Buttigieg speaking to global leaders in London today: "I did not come here to tell everybody that things are better than they look. They're not. And they're probably going to get worse before they get better. And yet I am optimistic." https://t.co/bcODwVtP1H

Like you, I'm sick to the back teeth of talking about AI. Like you, I keep getting dragged into AI discussions. Unlike you‡, I spent the summer writing a book on why I'm sick of AI⹋, which @fsgbooks will publish in 2026. ‡probably ⹋"The Reverse Centaur's Guide to AI" 1/

either now, or in the future, it’s going to come to this. interesting, provocative column. if the mandate didn’t transpire would we have actually lost anything?
‘Time for Scotland to fight like hell’ If Yes parties win a majority at the next Scottish election that should be used as a mandate for independence. If London says No to a referendum then Scotland should vote regardless My @heraldscotland column https://t.co/C22yEsY9ys

Whether it wants to acknowledge it or not, NATO is now engaged in a campaign against Russia. Whether or not it goes war-like depends on whether NATO wins in the grey zone.
Because we are not responding consistently and firmly, Russia will now regularly violate the airspace of NATO countries with drones. Because we are not clear, Putin is creating a grey zone.

$ICP Beautiful multi year acc base. Continuation entry at 6 past the structural top and VPOC reclaim too good to pass up. Long since then. Likely flags at 18 when it gets there.

Interesting new article by @nielsen about how Google continues to be the default method of searching for most people. It’s easy to forget that most people are not living in this world. https://t.co/eFblNZjMjF

Our study shows that generative AI is reshaping search, but long-standing habits persist. Many users still default to Google, giving Gemini a fighting chance.

“We tax earned income too much and unearned income too little.” 👏
As ever, endless nonsense spoken about this. Your money has not already been taxed. Inheritance tax isn’t a tax on your wealth. It’s a tax on the windfall of the person receiving it, which they have not earned. We tax earned income too much and unearned income too little.
