After the Trump/Putin love in, time to repost this. More like Art of the Shill. theguardian.com/us-news/2021/j…

Today Trump doubled down on what we all witnessed in Helsinki. That he is, without a doubt, a Russian asset.

UK govt to review state pension age (SPA). SPA rising to 67 in 2026-28. Further rises likely. Rich retire whenever they want. Others work till bones ache. Life on low wage and low pension. Many won't live long enough to get pension. It is euthanasia. independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

Surely I can’t be the only one who is heartily fed up of cheerleading in-house social media folk marking their own side’s homework. Lookin’ at you @lionsofficial @Scotlandteam @WelshRugbyUnion and @IrishRugby &co. It’s journalism Jim but not as we knew it. #lions2025

Worth reiterating just how raw the @GlasgowWarriors' pack was that just stood up to Leinster. 3 academy players - Stephen (19, 0 previous starts), Duncan (22, 0), Oguntibeju (23, 7). Samuel (22, 19), Ferrie (23, 15), Darge (25, 55), Richardson (26, 6), Bhatti (31, 79).

Anas Sarwar is today accusing the SNP of fuelling the rise of Reform UK. If that were the case then why is Labour’s decline in the polls a near mirror image of Reform’s rise?

Eat now, pay later is an awful trap. If you need to borrow to have a burrito delivered to you, you are the product. Nothing more. These companies aren't helping people. In fact, they are taking advantage of them.

Scotland produces so much clean energy, yet Scots pay some of the world's highest bills. Just yesterday, Britain wasted enough wind to power Scottish homes for 3 DAYS. It cost £7,504,366. Zonal pricing could give Scots some of the lowest bills in Europe: youtu.be/8-WUhBtB_CM

this is what "15 minute city" actually means btw. the idea that within 15 minutes of travel time, you should have access to your job, shopping, food, entertainment, and outdoor common spaces it doesn't mean "you aren't allowed to travel outside of this radius".

This government is getting ridiculous. It has a majority so big you can see it from space but is too frightened to rescue the country. It's as if Clement Attlee had scrapped plans for a National Health Service in 1945 because he was scared of the Daily Telegraph

The idea that the UK will be spared Trump's tariffs is over. First steel and aluminium, and now cars. The govt must accept that this is an economic emergency, ditch its self-imposed red lines, and start talks on a new UK-EU customs union immediately. theguardian.com/us-news/2025/m…

Where do OLTP workloads spend most of their time? In 2008 it was waiting for the CPU. In 2024 it is waiting for the network. Applications running on leading databases spend 23%-68% of their time on network communication! (At least according to "OLTP Through the Looking Glass…
