Almost anyone is welcome to follow me, but please, don't expect any juicy news about Dundee FC. I'm a lousy source. invidious.snopyta.org/watch?v=hiThRIHw…

I came across Guugu Yimithirr in Guy Deutscher's "Through the Language Glass: Why The World Looks Different In Other Languages". The language has no left & right, only points of the compass. Think about how native speakers must understand their world. nytimes.com/2010/08/29/magaz…

The family next door has boys, aged 9 & 7. The guy is an engineer. They're building an igloo from all the snow. Clearly the roof is going to be a technical challenge, but this is what real engineers do with their free time.

This is bizarre. Eg, how can you have two governments responsible for transport infrastructure projects in one country? Who is accountable for the whole system? It is, of course, an attack on devolution by a party that can't win elections in Scotland. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-s…
