This👇🏼is a travesty.. wrongfully accused of a crime because of crap software, sent to prison, left with a criminal record and now the Post Office is trying to shaft her again by paying a pittance 🤬 Disabled Post Office Horizon victim offered 15% of claim

Here's a *fairly* good article about it, but at the end, it still makes the assumption that this is the best system for the job. It really isn't. We do it that way because of tradition, sunk cost, and inertia. 🙄 bsky.app/profile/grah...

Dismissed as a joke, UK's first rice crop ripe for picking after hot summer www.bbc.com/news/article...

One aspect of this story is that UKIP/Reform were sent to a Parliament which they held in contempt - indeed that was the point - and so they’ll never acknowledge that the rules still applied to them. For them, milking it for personal gain was 100% legit, even to the point of taking enemy bribes. >

The NIH in the US have highlighted a recent ME/CFS study they funded: "Overactive immune responses in ME/CFS" www.nih.gov/news-events/... #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #ChronicFatigueSyndrome #MEcfs #CFS #PwME @mhornig.bsky.social

A hugely underreported scandal. Those responsible still not adequately held to account. An important, but infuriating watch.

A snapshot of Silicon Valley in 2025 is Mark Zuckerberg, now a MAGA-friendly mixed martial arts fan who doesn’t worry much about hate speech on his platforms and complains that corporate America isn’t masculine enough.

Game review (from 2024). Manor Lords is a medieval city builder that I've made a modest contribution to as a historical consultant & beta tester for.

Proud to contribute frontline testimony to tonight's enraging @itvx.com documentary "The Covid Contracts: Follow the Money". Boris Johnson's govt squandered £8.7 billion on unusable PPE, while grifters like Michelle Mone made millions. Tonight, 10.15pm, ITV1. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

It's genocide.

#BlueSkyArtShow One of the reasons Sculpture is my favorite way to create is the fact there are different #Angles to consider. The work is different depending on how you approach. There are facets. It's kind of similar to getting to know a person 😁 #ArtConnect #Art #ArtYear #ArtGallery #BSNM 🦑🐡

Painter: 'Yes, of course I've seen a Persian cat before' Cat owner: 'You're not going to give them a human face, are you?' Painter: 'Never!'

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe. And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.
