This explainer out of Australia is genuinely useful background and analysis of what happened with the Canada-US trade deal last night. Note that it is extremely and delightfully sweary. Also there’s an appended glossary of Australian slang. ifloz.substack.com/p/king-carne...

Aspects of this seem similar to vulnerability checking in code. Is it saying something about poorly constructed law? Might be of interest @davidallengreen.bsky.social

The point of QR is to bring together voices who disagree on many things, to find common ground. It was fascinating to have David Gauke with us discussing sentencing reforms, welfare cuts and of course, the U.K. EU reset.

I don’t suppose I’ll write a hundred books (unless there’s a trend for very very short historical fiction, or they figure out the eternal life thing), but even if I could, I don’t think the thrill of seeing a new one for the first time would ever get old. And this is my new one.

Replying to @microsff.com

"Why did you come to this time? To warn us?" The time traveler laughed. "Why would anyone listen to me?" "You're from our future-" "No, I'm from a different timeline, a different future. I'm a refugee." "To here? Now?" "It looks fucked right now, but this is the timeline that pulls through."

It seems to me that if you need to look to people of dubious character to do your bidding, you’re unlikely to end up on the right side of history. Any counter examples?

Bluesky's coming on strong. Been here a year+ and the last few weeks feel different. A warm welcome to all the transplants, we're happy to see you. And for my own intro: I post dumb star trek pics w/alt texts. If you honour me with a follow, I will bring the dumb star trek content you crave.

I’m starting to feel guilty at the frisson of excitement when a new episode drops…
