Ten high rise towers to be built in Manchester with the tallest being the third tallest in the country. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A national newspaper journalist went on a British TV channel to claim police stats showed asylum-seekers committed 44% of sex crimes in Dorset. This shocking claim was treated as fact by the channel which promoted the clip on social media where it was amplified by AI. Except... it's bollocks.

Hope for the future. This is what leadership looks like. Its so good to see the Greens getting a fairer share of air time on MSM to discuss what they stand for and their policies. This is why the Greens membership continues to rise as well as their standing in the polls. @zackpolanski.bsky.social

@salix.bsky.social, I think I've previously heard you take issue with being called "talented", in a way that glosses over the sheer hard work you've put in to achieve the results you do. This might chime with you.

We ask everyone outside of the car to be safe so that drivers can be dangerous.

More driverless cars

With Zohran Mamdani's inspiring victory, Republicans are yet again fearmongering about "socialism." But conservatives always yell “socialism” at every initiative designed to help people. It's nothing more than an old scare tactic. https://youtu.be/xq02yuY4wDQ?si=akvbkf8GSClBEHLt

I'm going to double down on this. What an outdated view. I hate it. When you approach councils, this is the ridiculous perspective they'll come back with. Traffic management in councils must be taught from the 1960's when only in 5 households had a car. Crazy stuff.

Men with a history of violence against women should be branded on their forehead to warn other women against them. It's too easy to hide until it's too late.

I am feeling very sorry for myself. I picked up a bug on Wednesday. Thursday and Friday were pretty grim, everything aching, headaches, cold etc. Bit better today but still lots of muscle pain. Such a nice day too but no riding 😒. Going to be a very chilled weekend. Been slowly doing house jobs.

A second ago, sound was working on my computer, now it's not. Microsoft have turned into the worst computer company on earth. Obviously after SAP and Oracle, duh.

Now I like sprouts, properly cooked. But this is a war crime.

This is fascinating. Rightmove said it will have lower profits because it’s going to invest heavily in AI. Investors said no thank you, sending shares down by 25% at one point

#90sTop30 Day 7. Starting my 3 songs from 1992 is Killing In The Name by #RageAgainstTheMachine The lead single from their debut album the lyrics protest police brutality, inspired by the beating of Rodney King & the 1992 Los Angeles riots m.youtube.com/watch?v=bWXa... #MusicChallenge #MusicSky

Interesting that BYD is trying to sell a Wall-E future, where kids doomscroll and sip drinks while they're ferried to school with no awareness of their surroundings, as a SELLING point!

SPIDERCAVE!

Your cat when you're choking to death in your apartment

Scary, no?

if i am elected President we will drone strike one C-Suite at Rockstar Games for every additional day GTA 6 is delayed

I went to Screwfix after work to pick up some new shower trims. Some people would use a car for this.

If New York can sort out free at point of use healthcare, we will welcome them as one of the great European cities. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This is How Stephen King responds to RepubliKKKan Scare Tactics.......

Top two in reputation. We are dependable, fair, resilient and credible.

Imagine how transformational 3 hours of free electricity could be, especially for those on the lowest incomes (e.g. retired pensioners, unemployed, full time carers)? No need to worry about heating their house, running the washer/dryer, running the oven to make a hot meal, filling t'hot water tank.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design. news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

I want to see an EV with an actual front grill, so it doesn't look like a Ken doll's downstairs parts

I'm just asking questions.

Adam Ant is 71 today. Hard to emphasise how seismic this was in playgrounds across the country in 1980. For a period he was as big as any act has been. Was he the perfect pop star? I think so. It couldn't last but if you were there you'll never forget it. youtu.be/Rm9drIwmmU4?...

Ooh, I have discovered a tap bar a few miles away. They serve largely vegetarian food and Rivington ales. The route from my house is almost entirely offroad, few miles. All fields so will need lights and mudguards. I suspect my future includes a number of visits.

A rapidly growing share of letters to journals may be drafted by machines, undetected by editors. Study quantifies recently ‘prolific debutante authors’ who had published no letters before 2022, when ChatGPT debuted. #academicjournals #peerreview @science.org www.science.org/content/arti...

Can't park there mate.

elon musk: people in the uk live like hobbits. um let’s look at you for a second bro

My kind of endeavour

Honestly mate, as someone who has worked in cyber security for 25 years, 99% of people don't even look at the URL, they just click. They're like monkeys smoking cigarettes.

Tool pin board is up. All the essentials.

Mudguards time?

New York wins Halloween.

What’s the stupidest thing you’ve ever done? I don’t mean “cheating on your partner” stupid, I mean stupid stupid. Like, once, I had this bubble bath which smelled absolutely delicious, so I took a big glug of it. That kind of stupid. (It did not taste delicious.)

Take care, folks.

As a single woman without kids, I am always caught out when trick or treaters knock on my door. “No, I don’t have any sweets to give you. Can I interest you in some Brie?”

I've never watched Walking Dead before but I'm up to series 3 now. This is such a great show. Merle has just turned back up. Quality stuff.

Hmmm, going outside plans may have to be put on hold for today.

Remember, if it's not on A̶I̶ ̶g̶e̶n̶e̶r̶a̶t̶e̶d̶ ̶h̶e̶l̶l̶ TikTok, it's not real.
