Tomorrow is my Dad’s birthday and I’ve been thinking about how strange it has been to deal with grief and depression during this pandemic. I’ve done some writing about my Dad and my experience of losing him in unprecedented times.

Normalise saying “this is really fucking weird, but I don’t think it should be banned”. True liberalism needs to make a comeback.

The Soviets did not work so hard to extend the lifetime of 19th C bourgeois French culture (making your children learn violin & chess, social realism in painting & literature) just for all this be recast as stupid Cocoa and Marshmellows Winter Wonderland Christmas Market kitsch.

Google is getting rid of AI summaries after forcing it down our throats because it's keeping people from clicking on websites and costing billions in lost ad revenue and upkeep. Incredible that anyone with half a brain could've seen that coming.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Google is not removing AI Overviews (summaries) from search. The feature is a core part of Search that remains active, appears on over 80% of queries, and is being further integrated despite traffic effects.

I’m enjoying the modern reclamation of Halloween, bringing it closer to its roots, but this Irish thing of claiming 100% ownership of practices like Samhain really bothers me. And Hallowe’en is a Scots word!!!

Because of AI, nothing works as well as it used to. It destroys value, rather than creating it.
History will consider us letting tech folks' wet dreams about magic robots to devalue every interaction with our fellow humans as the gravest error of the 21st century.

This is why it’s so important to challenge the notion that the government “borrows” from the private sector. It paralyses everything, dresses itself up in “mundane common sense” but its one of the most damaging misunderstanding a politician can have.
“What I find very difficult… is the assumption you have to cut your way to be being fiscally responsible”
“There’s not a hope in hell that [Labour] are going to oversee any cuts to public spending”
Economics professor Mariana Mazzucato and Conservative MP Julia Lopez debate Chancellor John Healey’s spending plans.

This was visible 10 years ago. And it was clear at that time, to some people, that radical political and economic change was needed, these people were derided and insulted frequently and childishly by so called Sensibles, and are owed an apology which will never arrive.

It really is *mad* that the global financial crisis (and the Cameron / Osborne response to the aftermath) is just utterly absent from any discussions about why we are where we are. We've never recovered
Could the ‘SNP source’ come forward please? Because our party actually decided we’re against hyperscale data centres. It would be nice to know who is pushing this against the will of party members.
The SNP is shifting to the right, @TheEconomist notes after its party conference: economist.com/britain/2026/1…

There is an increasingly disingenuous narrative peddled in Scotland about the impacts of granting new oil and gas licenses on North Sea production levels and job security. Amid this, it’s important to look at evidence 🧵

Watch to see how the Avenues project on Argyle Street between the Hielaman’s Umbrella and the Kingston Bridge has transformed the area, with new trees, rain gardens, benches & cycle lanes, as well as improved pavements & roads – a real difference from what was there before.

Il y a 10 ans, on nous disait qu’il était impossible de produire des batteries électriques en Europe et que l’automobile française ne ferait pas le poids face à la concurrence mondiale.
Impossible n’est pas Français !
Aujourd’hui nous avons 4 gigafactories en France, nous produisons des centaines de milliers de véhicules électriques et nos R4 et R5 sortent de nos usines avec des batteries fabriquées chez nous.
C’est très concret, c’est bon pour nos emplois, notre économie, et cohérent avec nos objectifs climatiques.
Au Mondial de l’Auto ce matin, j’ai réaffirmé une ambition claire : notre industrie automobile française et européenne innove, accélère et se réindustrialise. Nous devons continuer et aller plus loin.
Trois priorités :
1. Protéger notre industrie.
L’accord engagé entre l’Union européenne et la Chine marque une étape pour lutter contre la concurrence déloyale, notamment sur les véhicules hybrides. Nous voulons une concurrence juste, qui protège nos entreprises et nos emplois.
2. Accélérer l’électrification et la réindustrialisation.
Plus de 40 % des véhicules vendus en septembre étaient électriques. Avec France 2030, nous avons investi dans l’innovation, relancé des filières industrielles et démontré qu’on pouvait créer des emplois tout en décarbonant notre économie. Nous continuerons, notamment avec le véhicule autonome.
3. Renforcer notre souveraineté européenne.
Avec nos partenaires allemands, nous avançons vers un accord pour concilier décarbonation, compétitivité et protection de notre industrie. Avec une priorité : produire en Europe nos véhicules et leurs composants.
Nous avons montré que nous pouvions y arriver. Soyons fiers de nos industries et de nos savoir-faire.
Continuons à décarboner sans désindustrialiser, innover sans dépendre et défendre notre capacité à produire en Europe.
Croyons en nous, en notre industrie et en notre avenir !
