What bothers me most about the hagiographies tech journalists wrote about Elon Musk for 20+ years is that they universally framed him as an intelligent man. He's not. He's an undereducated, intemperate, incurious, prejudiced, unwise, narrowly skilled dolt who is willfully ignorant on most topics.

Looking at how Independence support has been changing during 2024, it's clear that under 35s have the highest level of support at 73%. But the 39% of the over 55s who support Yes are almost the same number of Yes voters. The steady increase among this group is an excellent sign. #Indyref2

My piece for The National today. Labour in Scotland has a serious problem with its candidates and councillors. If this was the SNP, it would dominate BBC Reporting Scotland for weeks. www.thenational.scot/politics/247...

Some personal news: I could not be more delighted to tell you that I signed a contract with John Murray Publishers @johnmurrays.bsky.social a few months ago, for a book about the United Kingdom, described through the eyes of a (sympathetic, if sometimes critical) stranger.🧵

Excellent piece by Leah Gunn Barrett, via Substack’s “Dear Scotland” page - clarifying the differences between water management in Scotland & its comparative disaster England, lambasting media who fail to distinguish between the 2 along the way. open.substack.com/pub/dearscot...

Building Communities. Looks like it’s going to be “Scots Abroad for Scottish Independence”. We build it then hand it over to community members to run it with ongoing support. If you are a Scot Abroad and would like to be on this Starter Pack (need 6) as a community member let us know now please.

When I use the term 'The Golf Club Set', I do so in a disparaging way. Everything old fashioned, sexist, elitist, 'traditional' and stuck in the: 'it's always been this way', status quo. Like it or not, Scottish Golf in 2024, is the preserve of Rich folk. www.bunkered.co.uk/golf-news/gl...

Triton is the largest natural satellite of Neptune. Thought to be a Kuiper Belt object captured by Neptune’s gravity millions of years ago, Triton is unlike any other major moon in that it has a retrograde orbit. It’s also geologically active and contains a subsurface ocean. 📸 Credit: NASA/JPL

A SHORT HISTORY of BREXIT. ▪︎The public was lied to. ▪︎Leavers broke campaign spending rules. ▪︎We got a rock-hard Brexit anyway. ▪︎No compromises were made for Remainers. ▪︎Brexit happened. ▪︎It's been a disaster. ▪︎Things will just get worse. ▪︎The public has changed its mind. ▪︎It now wants to Rejoin.

Border blunder: French pupils denied entry to the UK by British officials due to a trivial post-Brexit form error. 500-mile trip wasted, tourism lost, and goodwill gone. Sad for those kids and so frustrating. Is this really what the UK voted for?

The Labour party controlled by a London head office is not the Labour Party Scotland wants or needs. It is time to vote for independence, it is time to get your Labour party back. #ScotishLabour #Scottish #independence #Scotland

The loathing that Unionist Scots have for their own country is an illness #ScottishIndependence
