Scottish Government faces 'secrecy' row over civil servants working from home The Scottish Government faces a new transparency row over civil servants working from home.

Another confected row. It doesn't matter where civil servants are working and also we have no need to know whether Gareth comes into the office every Wednesday but Angela sometimes skips it

maybe I'm focusing on the wrong thing here but this is the wildest shit I've ever heard a white South African say and I study racism for a living

Londoners maybe don't understand how huge this is because they've got so many stations.

Glasgow has two and they're not set up to be easily interchangeable - Central goes everywhere south, Queen Street everywhere north.

This looks worse every time I see new photos. Hope they can keep it out of Central Station...

US military carries out 1st land operation against cartels in Ecuador: SOUTHCOM The United States and Ecuador conducted joint military operations against "designated terrorist organizations in Ecuador," U.S. Southern Command announced Tuesday.

We said No War and the US government said "best we can do is every war all at the very same time oops we're almost out of bombs but that's probably fine when doing every war, all at the very same time idk we're drunk"

This is how it begins. Soon women will have to fork out money routinely to prove to rich men that they are female enough.

Women far from being equal to men they will be subjugated and strictly controlled.

Anglo-saxons: Heroes are fragile things. The constant urge for glory and war will lead to nothing but a dead, buried heap of old metal.

Celtic epic: Rage and hypervigilance are a path to the doom of all around you. The land has its own rules; do not ignore them. Be very careful what you promise.

I'm unsure how people really think people were downplaying a virus that can kill you, make you go blind, wipe out your immune system for years, and oh yeah come back and kill you a decade after you thought you'd shaken it.

I totally fail to understand these people because somehow even when videogame characters speak I can still enjoy being the characters while I'm playing? I can be characters in books too even when they believe entirely different things from me. It's great. Is this not normal?

First they came for the trans people, and I said nothing because I wasn’t trans. Then they were like actually I’m pretty sure you are trans and I said no I’m not and they went okay well show us your penis then and I said what no get out of my face and they said that one’s a girl get her

Your ‘mild’ infection can cause vascular damage. We need to stop seeing COVID as mild. Notice how much of the media don’t refer often to post infection risks and when they do, they talk about the fatigue, not heart damage or blood clots. They reserve those comments for alarmist vaccine posts.

Speaking of weird shitty AI bros; GenAI is not conscious. But like. Why do they want it to be so bad. Why do they want total dominion over something sapient that’ll do a bunch of unpaid labour for them at their whims to make them money. Oh wait lol

I do not like this gen AI
I do not like what it implies
I do not want it in my art
I do not think it makes you smart
I do not want it in my games
I do not like its goals and aims
I do not want it in my books
I do not like the way it looks
I do not like it, I don't care
I do not want it anywhere

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.

And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.
