Going through old photos and found this gem from when I was into skateboard photography. I think this might be Steve Caballero, circa 1998 @vanswarpedtour.bsky.social @transworldskate.bsky.social #ShotOnFilm

For the sake of European security, Europe's leaders should agree to release Russia’s frozen assets for the support of Ukraine — and clearly state their willingness to defend Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression.

Hello! It doesn’t cost anything to repost but it helps me spread the word about my small business. My online shop is full of bold & colourful prints, homewares and cards. I’m also available for freelance design work and art licensing. gailmyerscough.co.uk

anyway, some actually useful tips to mitigate any loss: make sure your notifications don't show their content on the lock screen - set them so you have to unlock the phone to see them. Make sure you've got theft detection turned on, which locks the phone if it's snatched.

BREAKING: A catastrophic breach has impacted Discord user data including selfies and identity documents uploaded as part of the app’s verification process, email addresses, phone numbers, approximately where the user lives, and much more. 🔗 www.404media.co/the-discord-...

What’s worrying here is that the UK government seems absolutely determined to access user private data, no matter the bad press and the consequences. And they’re now willing to do it overtly. Between this and recent moves against encryption in the EU, we’re going to a bad place.

This government needs to grow a spine, a stomach, and a sense of moral purpose right now. Yes, I know that is vanishingly unlikely.

British NIMBYism is truly a sight to behold. “We are rejecting this solar farm, because one time I saw an electric vehicle on fire, which reminded me that decades ago a coal mining disaster killed lots of children”.

Met Office stats confirm summer 2025 is officially the warmest summer on record for the UK. The UK’s mean temp of 16.10°C surpasses the previous record of  15.76°C and pushes the summer of 1976 out of the top 5 warmest summers. www.metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/new...

The fact that Reform were trying to run a person who had been dead for six months as their Croydon Mayoral candidate is proof if it were needed that they are not a serious party. It demonstrates abject incompetence and no vetting as well as utter contempt for the electorate.

It is clearly the case that asylum protests were smaller this weekend than the small over-hyped protests on August 8th, and smaller than in the second half of July. No broadcast outlet has accurately conveyed that + asked why: they have explicitly stated and inferred growing protests

‘The belief that full-time education is the gold standard destination for all young people needs revising. Decent work with training is more beneficial for some.’ @gavin-kelly.bsky.social challenges some orthodoxies on.ft.com/3UCfUCA

UK regulation of the internet continues to be mind-numbing stupid. Ministers have spent years passing laws giving the power to fine tech companies billions if they don’t moderate legal content that could harm certain audiences. Now they’re threatening fines of billions if they moderate it ‘wrong’.

Just one chart from the @metoffice.gov.uk State of the UK climate report published today. We get used to focusing on the record highs and how 35C has gone from being rare to routine. But just look at all those summers which never got to 30C even in my lifetime. It’s a different UK now.

End-to-end encryption is secure because it protects the contents of your communications in transit between the endpoints. If you make one of those endpoints an editor at The Atlantic, no amount of encryption is going to save you from your own stupidity.
