Look for the Green banner to join the Scottish Greens bloc.
People's privacy and dignity must remain central to the UK's health systems. Allowing Palantir to access their data would directly contradict this.
They have no place in our public sector.
We're always delighted to see a new book from our chum, local paleontoligist Steve Brusatte!
The Story of Birds, the "dinosaurs that live among us" is out now from Picador Books.

In the eye of a placid pigeon, you have to look for the tyrannosaur who doesn't know it is one.
If you love birds (or dinosaurs), I recommend you this book I reviewed in @lemonde #SteveBrusatte #paleontology #birds #evolution #evolutionarybiology
Energy for a 25h day 🤯😵💫

We are nine days into the 2026 #30DayMapChallenge.
Each day of November brings a new prompt, and so far that has meant backwards clocks, Halloween candy, wine regions dating back to 2000 BC, and the town from Severance.
Our latest blog post is a summary of the maps from the Stamen team so far: https://stamen.com/30daymapchallenge-2026-week-one-roundup/
For #30DayMapChallenge Day 10, “Prompting only,” I used Claude to automate the tedious parts of making “Blender maps”: real @kontur population data + real @Blender ray-traced shadows.
These maps are trendy enough that chatbots now produce convincing fakes with no data at all. I'm still strongly conflicted about using AI, but I wanted to show AI-made maps don’t have to be fake, and to compare the effort & cost of each approach.
i'm more tolerant to generative AI than most people here and i still want the bubble to burst hard enough for the big tech companies to suffer
this whole "move fast and break things" attitude they've been running on for the past decade should not be acceptable in an era where so much of the world depends on their products and services
This morning's Low Quality Ad is for this Ghost Campfire Night Light, on sale for 55% off. This happens every freaking year. We catch way too many ghosts, then Halloween ends and no one wants to adopt the rest of them. Shameful.

"Hundreds of British Jews have accused the Board of Deputies of #genocide denial."
“You are genocide deniers. Genocide denial is part of genocide. It makes you complicit. The denial of the World War II holocaust abuses Jews and all its other victims. Denial of the genocide in #Palestine abuses Palestinians and supports #Israel’s war crimes."
Humble Bundle goes through a re-design that's being accused of messy vibe-coding https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/11/humble-bundle-goes-through-a-re-design-thats-being-accused-of-messy-vibe-coding/
@gamingonlinux Security is for cowards
There are still 2k monthly active users on the Google Play version of #Fedilab, even though it has been shut down for weeks now. To get the latest updates, please use #FDroid.
I understand that some people can't use F-Droid (e.g. on a work phone).
But I would personally encourage everyone to never install an app from Google Play when it is available on F-Droid.
PS: I am still waiting for Google to remove my apps and account.

According to the excerpts here, they talk mostly about pure #mathematics, but also some #economics and math.
No, I haven't listened yet. It's in the queue.
