So this morning its worth noting that for the first time in history the three 'Great Offices' of the British Govt. - Home, and Foreign Secretaries, and Chancellor - are now all held by women.
Starmer's reshuffle may present some political risks & challenges to the newly appointed, but lets just pause for a minute just to celebrate this latest first for women in politics....

CD copy of It’s Blitz! (2009) by Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
This is the album where they reinvented themselves. Less punk snarl, more art-pop polish—but still unmistakably them. Critics ate it up, and fans mostly did too. I get why: tracks like “Zero” and “Heads Will Roll” are stone-cold classics.
But the mastering? Brutal. Crushed dynamics, loudness pushed way past the red. It’s exhausting to sit through with headphones. And yet, the bonus tracks—four stripped-down acoustic cuts—sound phenomenal, simply because they’re allowed to breathe.
Proof, once again, that louder doesn’t mean better. If you’re going to live with this album long-term, the vinyl is almost certainly the way to go.

It's #BandcampFriday, and I want to remind folks that I'm giving away proceeds from this EP to families and individuals in Gaza, thanks to gazafunds.com and now @aral's Gaza Verified project. You can name your price, or you can download for free and give some money to someone in Gaza yourself. 😀 I hope these songs will renew your hope that one day Palestine will be free.

This week's US #COVID19 update is a quick five-minute read. Highlights:
- COVID is rising but may be nearing a summer peak.
- Risks are almost 2x greater in the South and West than in the Northeast and Midwest.
- Studies published in the past 4 months prove each reinfection raises chronic health risks.

Here is a screenshot of what you see if you try to go to the US Department of Defense's website. Its URL is now redirecting to "www.war.gov", its name is "US Department of War" and it carries a main headline that Trump has renamed them to Department of War.
Congress has taken no action about this, it was entirely due to an order by Trump.
This brings up a couple of questions:
- Where are all the useful idiots who claimed Trump was the candidate of peace?
- Where are all the legal pundits who claimed Trump cannot do this without Congress?
It also sounds like something Elon Musk would do.

'Open is onafhankelijk.' Met die boodschap opende Gabriele Columbro (Linux Foundation Europe ) zijn keynote tijdens de Open Source Summit Europe 2025 in RAI Amsterdam. Drie dagen lang stond digitale soevereiniteit centraal.
De summit bracht scherpe inzichten en eerlijke gesprekken voort op vragen als: wat betekent het als onze overheidsdata draait op buitenlandse systemen? En, wat is er nodig om open source écht als strategisch instrument in te zetten binnen Europa?

Saillant detail: de Open Source Summit Europe hoofdsponsors waren Amazon AWS, Microsoft, Google en OpenEuler.
Er is nog een lange weg te gaan als we een conferentie over EU tech soevereiniteit moeten laten sponsoren door precies die partijen waar we onafhankelijker van willen worden. Of was dat juist een hele sluwe hack?

Agreed, it would a classic case of gender essentialism if we just presumed that they will be fairer, or more 'enlightened'.... the proof will be in what these women actually do.... but I'm enough of a believer in Feminist Standpoint that I would hope they'd come at these roles a little differently (even if Yvette Cooper has been a grave disappointment)
