Out and about in Shrewsbury and there's a time line in the shape of the River Severn snaking Mara-like around the town, depicting the history of the Earth.
Nice to see they've included the Alzarian's finest hour. @gruntleigh.bsky.social

It seems appropriate at the #LDCONF to have a cheese and onion pasty.
They are delicious hot ... or cold.

Hadn't realised how stupid the NHS dentistry situation is. Nearly 4x qualified - many highly qualified - available dentists as vacancies... but can't fill them as they're not from the UK.
Madness.
And certain other parties policies will be even more damaging to health & social care.

Last time I was at the Brighton Centre was to see Harry Enfield & Paul Whitehouse.
I suspect today's event will be a bit different as at the ripe old age of 57 I'm at my first ever political conference. #LDConf

We've gotta make the Monorail Simpsons episode required viewing for every city councilor in the country. Every single thing he says here is a lie. A Potemkin Village Imaginarium.
Hassett: "Data centers are very good for towns bc they create so many jobs & bring people in with high incomes that can buy houses & stuff like that. So if you take a sleepy town that hasn't seen much in the last 30 years & put a data center there, there are gonna be a bunch of happy residents."

How to simply say theres a need to address social care and also protect universal health provision, avoiding the model favoured by those starting with "Re".

Prior to getting Odeon Limitless post covid in Sept 2021 (making it sound like another virus) been to far more movies; previously was selective viewing so nothing stands out as woeful.
Since then, 2 films have scored 1.5 / 10 for me - Moonfall and Iron Lung.
Terrible, terrible films.

@markpackuk.bsky.social hopefully you knew this!
So, there is a precedent for vetoing an MP's resignation
Viscount Chelsea (Henry Cadogan) applied for the Chiltern Hundreds in 1842
The Chancellor (Goulburn) refused because, get this, Cadogan wanted to resign to obstruct an investigation for bribery

Happy 78th birthday NHS.
Obviously if you want to see it celebrate its 88th (or even it's 83rd), you know which parties to avoid in a general election when it arrives in 2029.

![That’s probably the most famous scene in the movie, the campfire scene.
I know. He said, “You can’t punch a horse.” I said, “You’ll never see it again.” I kept saying, “You’re absolutely right. It’s out!” Then, when he left, I crumpled up all his notes, and I tossed it in the wastepaper basket. And John Calley, who was running [production at] Warner Bros. at the time, said, “Good filing.” That was the end of it. You say yes, and you never do it.
That’s great advice for life.
It is. Don’t fight them. Don’t waste your time struggling with them and trying to make sense to them. They’ll never understand.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yvbszlkc7d75ixkid5g2zmw7/bafkreiar4z6n6pfk7wob2gznv6l6euw7ltxbetgto5drfd4wqzjalldp5m)

At #Utopia last weekend, @sophiealdred.bsky.social was asked to recommend a @bigfinish.bsky.social that'd make a great TV story. She suggested 'Protect & Survive' so I thought I'd get it.
Should have guessed it'd be a @jonnymorris.bsky.social story. 😀
Just got to find time to listen now.
