I wish the wee neds were so bold as to do this to badly parked cars too 🫟

ok the Mr. Beast lawsuit, let’s go. step 1: don’t do this, or this, or this, or this

They didn’t just double tap. They hunted her like an animal. First they sent her death threats. They struck her, then followed her to where she tried to take shelter & struck her there. They struck the rescue workers who came for her & only after hours, after she died, did they allow retrieval

Beggars belief that Met Police is in talks with #Palantir about giving them access to highly sensitive data, when there’s already such concern over its links with ICE & Israeli military. Palantir already has UK contracts worth over £500m, incl. with NHS. We should be scrapping them not signing more

Okaaaaaaayyyy so now my faculty is officially telling me I can’t open my datasets because the presence of copilot means I would be processing data outside the purposes my participants have consented to. Which (a) I told them in the first place and (b) given we can’t opt out is mind-bendingly stupid.

I write pieces laughing my head off. I write pieces with tears pouring down my face. I write pieces when I’m dissociated, distracted, excited to do something else, have myriad other projects on - because that’s my fucking job & I don’t outsource my brain to a garbage plagiarism machine.

Rescuers tried to reach her in the rubble of the house hit by an Israeli strike, but the ambulance was fired on by the IDF. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

So anyway *this* is why I’m anti Digital ID, alongside access concerns. Once it rolls out, who decides when it gets used and why? And that’s a rhetorical question because Labour has made it very clear who they are listening to

One way to help address this issue would be for UK cities to follow the lead of Paris and start designing cars and their dangers out of the urban landscape.* This would also reduce our contribution to fuelling climate breakdown and wars of resource extraction. *Barriers & political will required.

The enforcement arm of the British state regularly acts in ways that completely contradict all the lofty pronouncements of ministers about freedom, democracy and the rule of law in the UK. Utterly shameful.

WATCH - Trudi Warner arrested, handcuffed, and carried for holding a placard with the law written on it outside Woolwich Crown Court. “There’s a High Court Ruling about this law” Trudi ought to know, because the case was “the Secretary General vs Trudi Warner”, and Trudi won.

Series one is staying on the public feeds. That one was made on The Content Guys’ terms. So that can stay there. But… why would you keep doing that? It’s a *terrible* offer.

Ah UK transport planning. Where a road is resurfaced and then they blithely put back the cycle lanes in exactly the same place they were before the resurfacing, without bothering to have a conversation about whether that's actually appropriate. These are about the width of my handlebars.

OH took part in a street leafleting thing opposing Reform the other day. Main takeaway was that Reform supporters aren't swayed by facts or logic, which makes it very hard to discuss or even engage on issues with them.

How many people would Reform UK deport? Short, rough answer: At least two million are at risk but the plans are ambiguous and their effect hinges on Labour’s own decisions www.ft.com/content/a762...

You do not have the 'right' to travel at speed. Nor do you need to. We've just normalised it to a point we think it is madness to suggest otherwise. yet it's a relatively recent phenomenon. Oh, and it's destroying the planet's capacity to sustain life. So there's that.

We're "excessively lax" about holding motorists accountable for their actions because for decades every level of society - including the people who should be keeping us safe - have seen motor harm as inevitable anf outside anyone's control #motonormativity www.theguardian.com/money/2026/a...

I got my permanent job at a university in 2008 (after 8 years hourly-paid) and now face redundancy. My salary has declined in real terms for my entire career. The graph for senior management pay in a broken sector looks very, very different. This is not an accident.

This 1,800 year-old Roman glass cup is so well preserved that the railway construction worker who found it in the 1800s used it as a flower vase not realising its age! 💐 😲 From Himlingøje, Denmark. National Museum of Denmark 📷 by me #Archaeology

I do not like this one bit

Who was arrested? One of the two is none other than Trudi Warner herself, holding the exact same sign she held when unlawfully arrested in 2023, which became the focus of a year-long case to prove that it is not unlawful to hold this sign outside a court.

The Metropolitan Police has arrested two peaceful sign-holders outside Woolwich Crown Court today under s.14 (Public Order). The signs state the rights of jurors (jury equity). The High Court determined two years ago that this is not illegal, (Solicitor General vs Trudi Warner).

Well done Edinburgh Trams and the councillors (especially Greens) who pushed for this.

Why not, eh? #StGeorgesDay

Yes, Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term “dark matter” which is impressive, but he also coined the term “spherical bastard” to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and I think that should be celebrated more.
