Good Morning Scotland had an academic on this morning who was presented as politically neutral and who defended Labour's decision to means test the winter fuel payment. Neutral? Here is a selection of Prof. June Andrews' latest tweets. Her timeline is awash with Labour tweets.

There was no sensational coverage of the annual drug death figures for England and Wales on the BBC. BBC Wales didn't even report it. Here's how BBC Scotland treats the annual drug death figures in Scotland. It's a political circus starring the usual suspects.

Evidence of end-of-year spending sprees to use up taxpayer-funded budgets is among the revelations 🏧 thenational.scot/news/233178…

I find a photo op involving a Princess handling tins of food destined for people with no money particularly revolting. Imagine if journalists hammered the glorification of food banks by people who’ll never need to use them, rather than workers on strike?

Simply put, a political party that Scotland never votes for has just over-ruled the government that we elected. Whatever you think of the issue, that's just colonial style democracy.

UK government blocks Scotland's gender reform bill in constitutional first

The unprecedented move from Downing Street will stop the new law, which lowers the age people can apply to change their gender to 16, from making it on to the statute book.

It’s all over. The most disastrous Prime Ministership in history. The thing is, the next one could be even worse….. We need to get out.

If you deliberately omit significant information from a story that alters the narrative of that story and presents a misleading picture then you're being dishonest and unethical. That's exactly what BBC Scotland is doing this morning with the NHS dentist access story. #bbcgms

Sorry Andrew, three weeks doesn't equal a generation. You had your vote and you need to respect democracy. 😂

Three weeks ago I said, despite my vote, we needed to focus on the issues facing the country, not internal fights in the Party. But Government is not functioning. I have therefore written to the 22 to request another vote of confidence in Boris Johnson's leadership.

Good to see this clear recognition that when circumstances change, people have the right to change their minds. It’s called democracy. #indyref2

TIL Prettier is considering making tabs the default in 3.0. This is huge — it would make an entire set of programming languages more accessible (if you're somehow still pro-spaces, read this comment to instantly convert), and, more importantly, vindicate my personal preferences
GitHub comment from MarcoZehe on 4 Aug 2020: The main reason I would like to see this change is for refreshable braille displays that are used by blind programmers a lot. Each space wastes one braille cell and takes away valuable braille realestate. So if the default indentation of a project is 4 spaces per level, a 3rd level indentation wastes 12 braaille cells before code starts. On a 40 cell display, which is the most commonly used with notebooks, this is more than a quarter of the available cells wasted with no information. If each indentation level was represented by only one tab character, there would be three cells occupied by a tab character each, and on the 4th cell, the code would start. That's less than 10 percent occupied on the same length display, but all cells contain valuable information that is easily discoverable and immediately comprehensible.

Maybe one day it'll be the default... github.com/prettier/prettier…

Change `useTabs` to `true` by default · Issue #7475 · prettier/prettier

Since we’re changing the defaults for several options in 2.0, I’ve decided to request that we do so for useTabs as well. Tabs have several advantages over spaces: Always 1 byte per indentation leve...
