The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions. It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

People are lonelier than ever, so here is a robot you can talk to. It won't make you less lonely but it will drive you insane. That will be five thousand dollars.

Baubi Urquhart of Yell, Shetland: "photographs of Baubi were once used to illustrate two quite different stories – one about folklore, specifically tales of ‘seal women’ or ‘selkies’ from the Northern Isles of Scotland, and the other about women’s work in the rural economy of the 19th century."
The Story of a Seal-Woman from Shetland – MAA Digital Lab

Baubi Urquhart’s portraits tell two stories—mythical ancestry and rural industry. Eona Bell explores how this woman embodied both in 19th-century Scotland.

It's nearly 9 years since I moved to Shetland, so it must be at least 8 since my first Sunday Tea, which happened to be run by the Ex-Whalers Association. Delighted to have somehow snuck them into Irish Pages, via a poem called 'Swallowing the Anchor'. Looking forward to reading this Scotland issue.

Luckily nothing with great historical resonance is happening in international geopolitics at the moment, so this is just the expertise to shrink. Sure genAI will plug the gap 👌

Yet another scandal brewing within UK Higher Ed: universities can get research money for everyone they've sacked. Big ghost fleets of lecturers who don't exist will be launched into the next Research Excellence Framework. Unis will laugh and cash in (1/2). englishassociation.ac.uk/ref2029-conc...

Sympathies with all the staff threatened with redundancy - and those who will be left trying to make things work. Grim!

one great mystery of our age is how the only way to motivate rich people to work is to give them loads of money for no reason but the only way to motivate poor people to work is to take away loads of their money for no reason
