My wife wants us to go green and build one of those passive houses. But I’m sure we could generate even more of our own energy with a passive-aggressive house.

Coming very soon. Please sign up! We can only do this together. We're starting small but we have big ambitions. Because if there's anything that the last few years have shown us, it's that we desperately need diverse, fearless INDEPENDENT media. www.thenerve.news

Here's the press release for digital ID and it is quite the shopping list of features. My first concern here is for the team who need to deliver quickly against the mix of a general purpose "do everything" app and a fairly specific set of features set out here www.gov.uk/government/n...

Huge progress on this petition in just one day.

It is possible to cherish the BBC as an institution while also saying that BBC News is failing very badly, day after day, in its duty to inform and that it always fails in a right-wing direction. It desperately needs to recover its integrity

I really have to read the rest after this teaser.

Do you want fair, independent press regulation? Do you want to protect ordinary people from press abuse? Do you want to restore trust in the press? So do Hugh Grant & Jacqui Hames. Sign the petition to change the law. Let's demand change you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/a-... #BetterMediaBill

Just been to see The Weir at the Harold Pinter. Saw it years ago and enjoyed it but this is a superb production if you can get a ticket.

“A better world is possible. How do you get there? And how does it get warped along the way? Is a massive part of the story.”

Another great addition to my collection of practical units of measurement.

Interesting suggestion. I might try that.

As @stephenstroud.bsky.social points out this will only make sense if we make sure Ukraine wins. It would be a double backfire if Russia did…and then owned the means of production. So we should get on with it and really drive Ukraine win ..because it is right but also safe bsky.app/profile/step...

This is an excellent explanation of why the charge that many challenges are gaming the system, is far off the mark. In reality the system itself is almost designed to leave too little time for an informed response.

This whole Tylenol saga makes sense only if Trump Junior has been shorting* Kenvue. (*Note: not snorting)

Surely we must be approaching the tipping point with this nonsense. The fever has to break soon.

I will miss having Scottish MPs in Westminster but why would that nation want to be manacled to ours?

Mickey eating a TACO?

When I first heard about the WHSmith rebrand under new ownership I thought it was a joke or photoshopped. They certainly aren’t wasting any pennies on designers.

Had read about these places but this was the first Cat Café I had encountered IRL, in Edinburgh.

I only joined this campaign long after the events covered by this drama, but very much looking forward to it and hopefully the renewed focus on our need for press regulation.

Lovely to see our local cygnets still thriving.

Today’s walk across the Common, #Stroud

I don't have particularly strong views on ID cards, but this thread on some of the concerns is well set out.

Worth reading both of these. A number of questions that will likely not be answered.

As always Joshua asks the right questions. Perhaps our Speaker should consult him before venturing into areas beyond his competence. Footnote: As a schoolboy visiting Parliament I was once excluded (with all other visitors) by an MP declaring “I spy Strangers”.

This will be worth a look.

When did #Arsenal become #Liverpool?

Tomorrow night at the Crown and Sceptre, Horns Road, Stroud. Open mic with featured poet Kate Potts and more. Sign up for open mic from 7.30pm, event starts at 8pm. Entry free!

Here’s something for anyone who needs a bit of a lift today.

Not something I say often, but: Come on Arsenal.

So true.

1. Bluesky doesn’t downrank links 2. You can choose your own algorithm from among thousands 3. The whole app is open source This keeps it a free and open platform by design, leading to better click-throughs and traffic to your site. We 💙 the open web.

Could also be a bot. Why else insist on a conversation with someone they have no interest in engaging with?

Tried to buy some of my favourite linen shirts in store yesterday. Was told that "those are only available in our spring and summer displays". Apparently some people in this country still think that we have "seasons".

Yes, could be a bot.

Starting to notice more anonymous accounts on here who barge into conversations to cause disruption, whether because they genuinely don't understand or they have some other agenda.

If a wealthy person who has avoided £100m in UK tax, conspicuously gives £20m to some pet cause or foundation, that’s not “philanthropy”.
