Great to join @bsky.app. Today, I was in Grangemouth, a symbol of Scotland’s industrial brilliance, a huge opportunity for renewal. We’re seizing that opportunity, investing £200m from the National Wealth Fund to deliver growth and jobs in Scotland.

It’s to our shame that England beat both my country of birth (Scotland) and my country of choice (France)

Zelenskyy said he would step down as Ukraine’s President in exchange for NATO membership for his country.

If people like Ulrike actually spent time criticizing what is clearly inferior work rather than posting it uncritically (because it’s by her colleague) then perhaps people world have more faith in elites.

1. Posting from behind a block is crappy behavior Ulrike 2. Misrepresenting what I posted is also crappy behavior. I didn’t call him names I said his piece was stupid, which it is. @rikefranke.bsky.social

Was there not a knock on.

So @rikefranke.bsky.social blocked me for saying that the Shapiro piece she posted was the dumbest thing you’re likely to read all week. I guess this means she agrees with the piece? Jfc

2nd update, done I paid for train tickets and they were delayed 1hr 10 mins, I’ll get a refund of 25%

I just got blocked by someone for criticizing a piece that they didn’t write 🤦🏻‍♂️

Update, just talked to kiddo, apparently I still got blamed :))) haven’t found out what for yet. Could be the old « if your father had bothered to organize it » gambit

Wife and kiddo went off skiing today. Started well, train from Paris delayed by 1hr 10mins so all connections would be missed. New connections sent and they barely made the new connection. Now two more trains until Briançon. Half hour wait for each connection. I’m just glad of two things :

The thought in private in Bxl and EU capitals

Jill has gone all DOGE in the village shop & asked her employees to Email what they’ve achieved this week. Sally the simple girl says she’s chewed snot. Mrs Cobb has told Jill she’s cured her piles. And Dean the paperboy has written: IDGAF. What the skibidi is going on here blud?

One of the stupidest pieces you’ll read this week

Are YOU longing to have a discussion about how it’s possible that Elon Musk can both be a very successful entrepreneur and, apparently, a gigantic idiot? Have I got the book for you! Coming June 2025, pre-order now…

Ban Starlink, ban 'X', and key every Tesla you see.

Pop: You see that vineyard? Yup, I’m going to eat ALL the deer shit

Hope everyone in the UK remembers what Elon Musk is doing to the US government the next time Domminic Cummings writes a 30,000 word blog post on his plan to replace all the "NPCs" in Whitehall with 19 year old Nazi superforecasters.

this isn't what the French would do

I just used ChatGPT to create a case out of my shitty UberEats experience a few months back where the driver stole my order and I struggled to get a refund because "proper procedure had been followed". ChatGPT created a great little case that is to the point, unique and useful for students.

Oh, Are we taking bets on Pope Francis' last words..?

The joke I’ve been dying to make

One of Gad Saad’s colleagues in his marketing department is possibly the most US-progressive brained person I know. They’re both nuts. I really wonder how department meetings go.

To Stephen’s point , the other day my daughter was singing « don’t go breaking my heart »
