England homelessness grown by a fifth since 2022, now 300,000. Successive govts cut local authority funding in real terms, cut real wages/benefits, no curbs on profiteering, lack of social housing. Cheaper to build social housing than using temporary accommodation. Misery is a political choice.

Someone has put dog shit in my food waste recycling caddie. Cunts.

Maine described its HIV outbreak as a significant health concern, but the government shutdown has kept a CDC team from coming to the state's aid.

I think all Christmas advertising and Christmas Music should be banned until 30 days before Christmas Day. I am not a Grinch, it just can be too much.

What he said Part 2: 💯 🎯

Found this picture of me from a few years ago.

Now 67.5Kg, 2.5kg off my target. Nearly 20kg lost. It has not been easy even using one of those weight loss drugs, there are a range of downsides. DM me if you are thinking about it. Some advice would have been welcome before I started.

Quick background for those not in the bad place. A parent filmed some men apparently going in to get English lessons and claimed they were going into a primary school. In the background of the video was a sign mentioning a school This video obviously went viral with all the RW outrage. 2/13

No one using the community learning centre can access the primary school or nursery. And the Daily Mail knew this. They mention it twice. And they went for that shocking headline anyway. 8/12

It’s a beautiful day for the end of the pagan year. Here on the farm we celebrate this as New Year’s Eve, tomorrow being the start of another turn of the Wheel. Blessings to all who also celebrate this day.

I visited Grand Street Senior Housing on the Lower East Side today and tried a little Bomba y Plena…

I have never read a communication anything like this from the Palace before. It is brutal.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Farage gets voted down on leaving the ECHR… for now. Ed Davey quite rightly tears a strip off him. But really, the corrupt leader of a racist party threatening to remove our protection from abuses of power by our own government, should be the biggest red flag going. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

People should not conduct private conversations on their mobile devices on public transport unless it is urgent. I find it beyond annoying.

Thought I would take a walk in my lunch break.

I think it is fairly clear that the Trump Administration is trying to encourage the population into social unrest, so that they can declare an emergency to end Democracy. Is the government shutdown and the end of the food stamp programme part of that strategy?

🚨 EXC - Cannabis isn't safe for young brains with teens smoking it regularly facing an 11 times higher risk of psychosis later in life, warns Britain's top psychiatrist: www.thetimes.com/article/17fa...

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

This is something i did not think I needed to know.

Terrorists tried to destroy the White House in 2001 with a hijacked plane. 24 years later the President of the United States accepts a plane from people funding terrorists and is destroying the White House himself.

Think we need to remove the last titles from Andrew Windsor, and only call him Andrew Windsor.

It is both surreal and absurd that the Met should announce this decision in the context of a complaint by a man who is living proof of how non-crime hate incidents can be advance warning of hate crime, given that he, a subject of NCHI reports, is *currently on trial on hate crime charges*.

People who pretend their transphobia is rooted in a concern for women's safety can now congratulate themselves that they have taken away a system which helped to identify men likely to commit violent assaults against women and could be used to prevent those assaults. Drink your champagne, ladies.

This seems very significant.

1993: Stephen Lawrence is murdered by racists. 1999: The MacPherson Inquiry recommends recording of non-crime hate incidents. 2005: After the Discrimination Law Review, non-crime hate incidents begin being recorded by UK police. 2025: Mainstream transphobia ends a harm reduction policy that worked.

I am now officially not overweight.

The AWS outage today is a good reminder that there is no "cloud", there's just somebody else's computer.

2025: Claire Coutinho criticises net zero 2023: Claire Coutinho praises net zero These are their values, and for the right price, they have other values too

Why do Americans think they need to drink 20 litres of water a day and carry huge water bottles around with them?

😳

This goes even higher up. Forget Medvedchuk. Forget Medvedev According to former Brexit Party MEP and defected Reform MP Rupert Lowe, the individuals at Gill's meetings claimed to be "close to Putin"

My OH has been out for dinner with the Duke of Gloucester again!! Should I be worried?

No Rain is forecast for Southern England for the next two weeks. Which is unusual.

I love ... an ellipsis.

For the first time ever, London has met legal limits for nitrogen dioxide. When I became Mayor, we were told it would take 193 years. We did it 184 years earlier than expected. Cleaner air means a healthier city and big savings for the NHS.

Why would anyone want to visit the USA?

Splosh!

It is my birthday and someone bought me these flowers(or buds) . As you can see I have no idea about flower arranging. (note the kitchen in the back ground is been refurbished again)

The express poll asking whether reforms migrangt visa plan is racist is about 91% "no" so it REALLY needs your help - this is a direct link to poll xd.wayin.com/display/cont...
