I regret to inform you that the Doors Open Day poster on the @thecockburn.bsky.social website is AI slop. If only this city had any awesome photographers and/or designers that our heritage champions could have turned to instead then we might have avoided this machine-generated embarrassment 🤦

More than three quarters of Scottish salmon farms certified as “sustainable” broke the rules of the certifying body last year, but none lost their accreditation.

This is the most comprehensive polling I’ve seen — and it is pretty compelling.
This perspective is extremely important,
‘The side that best shakes off the old thought patterns of 2016, and grapples honestly with today’s lived realities and sentiments, is the one most likely to succeed.’

A thread on why capital gains tax is broken. It's too low AND too high. & why this is a good proposal.

Big green energy news:
The Dogger Bank South Offshore Wind Farms DCO application has today been granted development consent by DESNZ
At 3GW, it's one of the largest single consenting decisions in UK offshore wind history. If/when it's built, it will provide enough energy to power ~3 million homes.

FYI: Congress can grant a person limited immunity for testimony. A presidential pardon is not needed. The immunity is not absolute, though. It doesn't cover perjury.
If Trump pardons Ghislaine Maxwell, it's because he's trying to keep her quiet. There's no other reason to pardon her.

"It would give renewed impetus to the bilateral relationship... it would be a pragmatic step forward which could be easily sold to the public."
@jannikewachowiak.bsky.social makes the case for a 'resilience partnership' as a way to give new impetus to the UK-EU reset.
