The Energy That Made Modern Scotland is a new audio documentary which I made with @dominicmhinde.bsky.social. It explores how fifty years of oil and gas production and the more recent renewables revolution have transformed the Scottish economy and society and politics. You can listen to it here.

Left at Easter Road today by some Hearts fans. I do worry we're going to see the idea the far right have no support in Scotland horribly disproven at the next election. Loyalism is a fringe movement but there's enough of them to get Reform MSPs elected.

Posters like this have sprung up around Glasgow. They’re highly disingenuous as 1) North Sea oil and gas does not guarantee energy security and 2) the party the paper supports has broadly failed to develop renewables for public benefit or been serious about reforming housing policy.

To anyone who has followed Holyrood a while this should not come as a great surprise. Longstanding failure through multiple governments to make everything pull in the same direction.

Perhaps it's subjective, but I'm seeing evidence of digital entshittification everywhere now. All the social media I was using is junk (instagram has declined faster than X even), and two click articles on the BBC today containing basic factual errors.
