Screen Time.

After the success of the event in 2025, For the Love of Print returns for 2026 with not one but two fairs. The first will be on 2nd May and will bring together 26 Kent Printmakers. It will be a vibrant celebration of Printmaking with many new Printmakers from the 2025 event. Put it in your diaries!

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities. Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

Let’s shift the narrative: focus on drivers — with better legislation, clearer guidance and stronger communication — so harm isn’t normalised or dismissed as “cycling is risky”. It’s long past time to prevent harm, not explain it away. Less victim-blaming.

Stormtroopers mainly

"Council should not be raising revnue" from school streets. May I remind the editor of our local newspaper that the only reason they are is because drivers choose to ignore the restrictions that were put in place to PROTETCT CHILDREN from getting hurt or killed outside their schools.

The Utrecht morning rush hour in the snow did not disappoint!

At what point did being completely wrong start counting as an “opinion”? Claiming vaccines cause autism isn’t an opinion. It’s utter bullshit. And then they say, “Well, that’s my opinion, you have to respect it.” No. I don’t have to respect stupidity. Fuck off.

Look, you can have low taxation or you can have functioning public services. You can't have both. Lots of people, including the UK government, seem to have forgotten this fact. Taxation isn't theft. It's the foundation of society.

Nope.

"Gunn had driven the BMW he had recently bought at 87mph shortly before the crash, on the 60mph limit Thurnham Lane" www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... What "60mph limit Thurnham Lane actually looks like. Time for a 30mph national speed limit on any road with no central lane markings.

Anyone who is more concerned about bikes on pavements than cars on the road is deeply unserious about pedestrian safety.

Phew, I made something in time for Halloween!

A car manufacturer's optional extra for driving to the local baker to buy a single baguette is peak car brain.

I will accept painted bike lanes when guardrails on bridges are painted instead of concrete.

It would be great if we could take a whole country and change the default speed limit to 20mph and then compare it to one left at 30mph. What if it reduced casualties by 25% and with lower risk reduced insurance premiums by £45 a year? Well it did! bit.ly/4gIBPlJ

Just fuck off with this. How about start the conversation by highlighting how much immigrants contribute to the UK - not least by propping up the NHS and social care system! Also - forced volunteering is not volunteering, it's unpaid labour.

In discussion with a computer scientist from the University of Cambridge last night: Me: "you've described some of the things that AI is good at. How would you describe the category of things it's not good at? **pause** Him: "Anything where it has to be right".

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

A man using a mobility scooter had to be rescued by the fire service as he became stuck between a wall and a parked car. How much longer must he and other pedestrians have to wait for a pavement parking ban and adequate enforcement? www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

Stories like these are why we need to end pavement parking. Add your street of shame to our map of pavement parking hotspots 🗺️ act.livingstreets.org.uk/page/176767/... shorturl.at/zDRfm

Would you push someone off this 54-foot ladder? Hitting them with your car at 40mph does the same damage.

It's always 'legitimate concerns' about immigration, ethnic minorities and integration or benefits claimants. It's never 'legitimate concerns' about fucking fascism is it?

Migrants didn't cut council funding. Migrants didn't cut NHS funding. Migrants didn't close youth centres. Migrants didn't sell off council houses. Migrants aren't filling our rivers with sewage. Farage and co. will tell you to point the finger at migrants. Don't fall for it.

I have written to Nigel Farage in response to his visit to my constituency of Bicester and Woodstock today.

Absolute feckin state of this. Apparently this mess is "respectin' are flag" or something. Although maybe they intended to paint the flag of the International Red Cross and are honouring the brave and tireless work they do for refugees around the world ?

Just for perspective, a few weeks ago roughly 100,000 turned up for the London Trans+ Pride march. By contrast fewer than 3,000 ACROSS THE WHOLE COUNTRY, have turned up to anti-asylum "protests". Yet we are meant to take the latter as "the voice of the people" and the former as "the minority".

U.K. men of a certain age will be receiving their bowel cancer screening kits through the post. Please please complete it & return, it might save your life, it certainly saved mine. Thank you.

Tea time.

also, Yay! Wimblepong again #wimbledon

It is 39°C in Lisbon today. The same in Madrid. In Paris next week it will also be 39°C. Look at this picture. People are under trees, where it can be up to 12°C cooler. Given trees take decades to mature and many don’t survive, cities need to plant many more street trees. And urgently.

7. So maybe Keir Starmer should listen to this. If you don't know what to do with power, if you have no project other than staying in office, no moral core, no plan to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable, no trace of Labour values, perhaps you should step aside for someone who does.

Your increasingly regular reminder on how to cope with a heatwave: 🥤stay hydrated 🍦treat yourself to an ice cream ✊dismantle the fossil fuel industry which is literally burning the planet for the short term profit of a vanishingly small capitalist class 👕loose fitting clothing

Here’s the latest article about why swifts need help and how we can help them personally and politically www.theguardian.com/environment/... @ZacGoldsmith @patrick_barkham

I joke around alot about parenting but will say one of the most challenging parts of being a dad to teen boys is staying on top of the slick and curated toxic masculinity, misogyny and hate that they get served up on a daily basis. It's slick and so insidious.

for the drivers behind me.

There are many other cars in the street parked under telegraph wires, including black ones. None of them have been shat on. The only thing unique about this one is the swasticar badge. The birds know.

Trump has inspected the site of the new White House ballroom. One of the “fun” projects he does while thinking about the world is economy.

Labour promised to restore nature. ❌ Instead, their Planning Bill contains a licence to destroy it. We offered solutions. We’re done waiting. Part 3 of the Bill would gut the laws protecting our most precious habitats & species. Without significant change, it must be scrapped.

We’re calling on everyone who cares about nature: write to your MP now. Show them we won’t stand by while vital protections are ripped up: action.rspb.org.uk/page/159517/...

Sometimes the sterling work of @worldbollardassoc.bsky.social isn't immediately obvious. 🫡

WTF? If this Government can’t even agree to this smallest of initiatives, which has no cost to them & absolutely no down-sides, what hope that it will step up to the bigger nature challenges we face? This is a *popular* policy, for heavens sake. Obstinate tin-eared stupidity doesn’t come close …

What sort of psychopath designs a jigsaw puzzle with an edge piece in the middle?

Excellent response from someone with an actual “formal qualification in street works supervision” to Labour’s latest *pothole-whistle* to the right wing press.
