Call me mad as fuck if you will but. I don't think the public service broadcaster should be "both sidesing" organised racist and violent disorder and a peaceful counter protest. Nor should they forget to mention that a common theme among the racist group is unionism. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
My main take from today is that the fash are in full terrorist mode and we're still building our counter-actions round a three-hour programme of solidarity speeches. I don't have a nice neat answer, but I'm fairly sure we need to do something differently, and fast.

If I can, let me explain today's Times story. This is less to do with renewables and much more to do with where generation is located and how it shows up at a system level. /1
Dr StyliteCan anyone provide me with an informed opinion re the greater / lesser / same propensity for electricity shortages the greater the use of renewable.* * I get that in principle wind / solar is less controllable than fossil fuels but presumably that just means operating with a greater supply margin?
This is laughable --- "reporting says", well yes, these reporters did a bang-up job anthropomorphizing the system they are talking about, and obfuscating the responsibility that OpenAI holds here. bsky.app/profile/mims... Some examples:
Christopher MimsI've seen some folks try to frame OpenAI's unreleased model hacking a company that tests its abilities as a cynical marketing ploy but reporting says that absolutely was not the case: This was a real-deal escape of an AI agent that could have done vastly more damage. www.wsj.com/tech/ai/how-...
Another good piece on Burnham & Manchesterism from a 🏴 perspective by @lmacfarlane.bsky.social It rings true to me. But an obvs counter-argument is that, while devolved from the UK, the lack of INTRA-🏴 devo noted in prev post may be partly responsible. 🤔 www.opendemocracy.net/scotland-has...
Scotland has already tried ‘Manchesterism’. It won’t solve Britain’s economic crisis aloneAndy Burnham’s economic vision has much in common with Scotland’s. Its experience shows why that may not be enough.www.opendemocracy.netIain MacGilleBhràithInteresting opinion piece from @mikedanson.bsky.social on @bellacaledonia.bsky.social challenging myths about Manchesterism (growth? devo?) from a Scottish perspective… …but not just a *nationalist* perspective bc it also concludes with demands for more Scottish devo 👌 (See buildlocal.scot )
