“London hits 'historic' clean air milestone 184 years early…a 'truly remarkable turnaround for the city's air quality.” Quite a leadership achievement for @london.gov.uk’s government! While nations talk, (some) cities act. And get results.

Proposed changes to Australia’s Freedom of Information (FOI) laws would make a repeat of the disastrous Robodebt coverup more likely, rather than less, according to new research by The Australia Institute australiainstitute.org.au/post/governm...

“In London cyclists now outnumber cars in the City by 2 to 1. Paris, where they now outnumber motorists across the whole city, is catching up with Europe’s traditional bike capitals, Amsterdam & Copenhagen…In Copenhagen, bikes account for almost half of commuter trips to work/school.” @economist.com

NEW: Even as a judge in Illinois blocked President Trump’s deployment of the Guard in Chicago, an appeals court seemed poised to greenlight his deployment in Portland. More on the courts’ struggle with Trump’s deployments. w/ @ShiaKapos @joshgerstein www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

It’s almost as if weakening the United States is the goal.

After 14 years as a prosecutor, I know what justice is. I am haunted by the fact that lawyers, in every corner of this country, are silently allowing a President to carry out politically vindictive prosecutions against his enemies.

The delay for being able to publish the sources is why we're now going through the significant effort of building 2 variants of each release. Our most recent 3 releases have both a regular and security preview variant: 2025092500 and 2025092501 2025092700 and 2025092701 2025100300 and 2025100301

Our security preview releases provide early access to Android Security Bulletin patches prior to the official disclosure. Our current security preview releases provide the current revision of the November 2025 and December 2025 patches for the Android Open Source Project. We recommend enabling this.

The Trump administration has developed self-parody into a truly high art.

It's not spam. It's just art & it certainly isn't bothering people who like art. Crabby people. 😂

The semi-colon is an essential tool for any serious writer. Use of the semi-colon has apparently halved in the last 20 years. Yet it is key to great prose style and we should lament its decline. #BookchatWeekly

CENSORED: “They refused to run my column this week. Too critical of Trump, they said.” Writer Dan Conway left The Daily Memphian after editors rejected his column for criticizing Trump’s unconstitutional military incursions into US cities. Read the censored column: www.facebook.com/share/p/16uP...

He said that with a straight face?

ICE doesn’t racially profile? This lie from the Trump admin gets four Pinocchios 🤥🤥🤥🤥

Is this normal crazy for her or especially crazy? I can never tell.

AOC: "Stephen Miller is a CLOWN. He looks like he's 4’10”. He looks like he's angry about the fact that he's 4’10”. He's taking that anger out at any other population possible. Like, LAUGH AT THEM. Laugh at them."

There it is

Germany’s ex-Chancellor Angela Merkel is blaming Poland and the Baltic states for triggering Putin’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, claiming they refused to support her initiative for direct talks with russia in 2021.

Considering current manufacturing infrastructure of this specific missile is underdeveloped to say the least and that it is time consuming to produce the missiles, in my unprofessional opinion, this is likely grandstanding by Trump. US only has 56 of these to be made under contract in 2026.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social Please can you question Streeting on the research showing that Covid causes mental health problems. There is not over diagnosis of conditions like Autism, we now have experts who can identify it. So many are struggling and Labour are ignoring children suffering neurological

"Blue medical masks and cloth masks are great at helping a sick person keep their germs to themselves. 🚨Only a proper fitting respirator, like an N95, KN95 or CAN95, protects the wearer from germs, especially diseases like COVID-19 and measles, which travel through the air." 😮 Pigs flew today!

crazy that one of the most storied institutions in american journalism is going to be run by two people with basically no experience to do it

I tried to write about empathy and ended up writing about fascism again

We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

Good, maybe but at least 10 years too late. We need to do everything possible to accelerate renewable adoption.

This is exactly what the right wants— our silence. They want us afraid and to stop speaking up, to check out, to shut up about politics. We can’t give them that. Not now. Not ever.

You didn’t think he was just panicked over Republican polling, did you? 🤣 Latest update on Mike Johnson’s Grindr profile…

Now, for something off-topic. Spring has brought forth bright yellow flowers of the Hymenosporum flavum tree, a native of New Guinea, Queensland and New South Wales. Although commonly known as the native frangipani, it is not related to the frangipani. #spring
