Bin lorry driver who killed boy cycling to school in Edinburgh given unpaid work Ross Wallace admitted hitting 11-year-old Thomas Wong while driving a refuse truck in Edinburgh last year.

This is manslaughter with another name.. Hard not to feel like a cyclist's life is worth less www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Nice work! Also - Impressed your break pads lasted so long.. I would have gone through four sets in that distance 😀

Funny that they've never bothered to voice any concern about the dangers of climate change.

The latest sandwich packaging for the kids school packed lunches. "easypeel" for simple separation of the film so you can recycle with soft plastics. I have a degree in engineering and it's anything but easy.. Seems impossible to get it all off cleanly. Any thoughts @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social ?

In the most recent podcast update Sorkin said the main reason he couldn't write the show today is that the idea of the Republicans being bipartisan for the good of the country is ludicrous.. 😔

But she has legs that go all the way down to the floor..! If you haven't already then get started on the West Wing Weekly podcast for excellent commentary on every episode 😀.

Cartoon for St George's day by Stephen Collins for the guardian. Script as follows:

Scene is outside a cave, ST GEORGE in armour etc is confronting the DRAGON while the CAPTURED PRINCESS looks on.

DRAGON:
So let me get this straight.

DRAGON:
You’re hoping to reinforce ‘helpless princess’ tropes…

DRAGON:
By publicly stabbing an *endangered animal* to death with a *sword*…

DRAGON:
So you can force a whole Syrian village to convert to Christianity….

DRAGON:
And become a nationalist icon for a colonial state…

DRAGON:
Through the cultural appropriation of ancient medieval dragon myths. 

DRAGON:
You’ve not been *online* very long, have you?

GEORGE: 
I have been quite surprised by the comments.

GEORGE’S SOCIAL MEDIA ASSISTANT [who is filming this encounter on an iPhone]:
I told you it’s problematic, George.

DRAGON:
Problematic? It’s a *bin fire*!

DRAGON:
OK. Here’s how you turn this round - 

CUT TO a YoutTube post called ‘MY JOURNEY (An apology)’. GEORGE is crying to camera, Dragon in background.

GEORGE: 
I am *so sorry* guys…

Just another wanker in a massive BMW blocking the cycle access earlier. The other one isn't much better but that's at least a single yellow.

"Well we're having a really wonderful time aren't we? Isn't this just wonderful? You know, you're very lucky to get to dine with me. It's a really big deal, a very big deal in fact. Isn't it just fantastic? I'm glad you think so."

The Old Faithful - a Country Style Sourdough Recipe My "old faithful" sourdough recipe is easy to follow and produces a beautifully soft crumb with the characteristic crunchy crust

I used this recipe, 77% hydration I think but was a bit on the sticky side (even with 13.5% protein flour) so might reduce a bit next time www.culinaryexploration.eu/blog/old-fai...

Finally made it along to the cinema to see #Wicked, and it was everything I wanted it to be. I have zero shame to say I loved it despite being a dad in his 40s... 😄🧙‍♀️
