the Norwegian campaign against enshittification is pretty great tbf vimeo.com/1168468796

My first earlies are in! Lady Christl. Never grown potatoes before so fingers crossed. #allotment #potato

💥 More than 20,000 people have signed the petition calling for changing the voting system to be part of the Representation of the People Bill. First Past the Post leaves millions of people without representation. It's time to scrap it. Add your name 👇

Incredible article from Retraction Watch. Case studies used to support health scares about painkillers in pregnancy were made up. Rather than retracting them, the journal is marking them as fictional and leaving then to for teaching purposes. Even though it is wrong!

Looks like everyone's had a busy weekend on their #allotment. I've planted out some onions and peas, and dug over a couple of beds ready for potatoes. The bed closest in the picture was hard - remains of what looked like hardcore sand and gravel lay buried . There's a fox pic at the end of this 🧵

If life (or Waitrose) gives you scones, make cream tea.

Hi from eurosky

Tourist vandalism not a new thing, apparently!

I'm quite pleased with this photo I took on a recent trip to San Francisco - it's taken on Pier 7, in the pre-dawn. Fujifilm XT-5, 16-80mm WR. #sanfrancisco #photography #urbanphotography #lowlightphotography #fujifilm #fujifilmxt5

I've moved! My ATProto PDS is now at @eurosky.social (rather than Bluesky). Basically, I'm hosted at a different place, in Europe rather than the US. If ATProto takes off to become the backbone of something much bigger, then I'm ready for it! You can move too, at www.eurosky.tech

Fortunately for us, Claude is better than ChatGPT. So it's easy to switch (I use Mistral LeChat personally, and Claude for work). www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

A nice story about the importance of passion in writing. I've spent most of my career in communications of some form. Moments when the topic was something really important to me are rare, but they stand out! photographylife.com/the-year-of-...

A fascinating article on the future of mathematical proofs

Despite the grim weather, I got my broad beans planted.

This is a fascinating interview. Regardless of your opinion of AI, you should take an hour out of your day to listen to it

I went to San Francisco and took a photo of a bridge. #fujifilm #fujifilmxt5 #sanfrancisco #goldengatebridge #goldenhour #photography #landscapephotography

People in Holes: A Low-Quality Movie

This is a really important stitched to understand what's going wrong with the modern economy: profitable tech companies just aren't labour intensive.

A real pleasure to meet George Clarke and hear about his experiences growing up on a council estate. We both know the positive impact social housing can have on families’ lives. That’s why I’m determined to continue delivering more council homes as we build a fairer London for everyone.

25 of the funniest posts we’ve seen on Bluesky this week www.thepoke.com/2026/02/04/2...

A pretty bold comment in Nature written by linguists, computer scientists and philosophers declaring that AGI has been achieved. "By reasonable standards, including Turing’s own, we have artificial systems that are generally intelligent. The long-standing problem of creating AGI has been solved."

I'm so happy to discover that @wmarybeard.bsky.social is here on bluesky

I was expecting the government to stonewall my question about restoring the independence of the Electoral Commission, but the answer I got today in Parliament... hints that there may be a little movement possible?

I have a report out today on the near-perennial question of why UK governments struggle to stick at growth policy in anything like a strategic way. Some hurried points:- 0/ www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/publication/...

Pearl-clutching from one hundred years ago this very month: WON’T ANYBODY THINK OF THE KIDDIEWINKS?

Trump's "Peace Council" and their democracy index score.

🇺🇸 Homeland Security posted this picture where the US 🇺🇸 also includes Canada 🇨🇦, Greenland 🇬🇱, and Iceland 🇮🇸. The Trump gestapo regime is totally out of control, and has to be stopped! The US 🇺🇸 politicians have to act!

Day 422 of #GeorgiaProtests 1. Further international isolation of the regime, which is an enabler and sanctions evasion tool in the Russia-Iran-China axis; 2. Further targeted sanctions. It works; 3. Aid to CSOs and independent media. Please amplify! Thank you. 📷 Dato Simonia

Grossly irresponsible reporting from @theguardian.com here. What matters is not how big the debt is but how much you have to repay. Repayments are a fixed 'graduate tax' of 9% on earnings above 28k, regardless of the size of the debt www.theguardian.com/money/2026/j...

Good to see President Trump arrive safely in Zurich. Can't wait to hear his speech. #Davos2026

Great article, worth reading to the end

Some really good points made here about why Musk should not be expelled from the Royal Academy of Sciences. It's changed my mind on the matter www.theguardian.com/science/2026...

Had a fire today. Found an incinerator on an abandoned #allotment nearby and got rid of a few wheel barrow loads of branches we cleared earlier in the year.

Interesting about jail breaking tech www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The Two Ronnies - Swedish Made Simple by Gerald Wiley (9th January 1975)

Having lost two loved ones last year, this piece touched me a lot www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

These are apparently facial reconstructions of a 2,300-year-old Pazyryk Scythian male and female from the same kurgan in Berel, Kazakhstan and not - as I first thought - that couple I met at a Spiral Tribe soundsystem in 1992 who sold me E that turned out to be paracetamol.

The list of organisations here is quite extensive. Means the us is cutting itself off from a lot of inorganic bodies, IPCC, IEF, Global Counterterrorism Forum; etc

Reposting through grow teeth because I hate the boomer, gen Z etc terminology (it's a misleading way of thinking, and using it shows a blinkered mindset). Still, the article itself is important and ingesting - and doesn't mention the B word.

The @nytimes.com now confirming that, yep, this is exactly what happened www.nytimes.com/2026/01/04/w...

This analysis seems spot on
