AI data centers are buying up memory chips, forcing up the price of virtually all our consumer electronics. It was great to have @papapishu.bsky.social back on the show to understand why this is happening, how’s benefiting, and what people are doing in response.

Vital, authoritative 🧵 from Dan on the UK govt's archconservative immigration plan.

Tonight’s listening 😎 My mate reckons he saw Daddy Freddy in Loughborough Junction yesterday, so I had to dig it out… #OldSkool

Nothing at all fishy going on here over the weekend, I assume

Always worth thinking: punishment for what crime? And in the case of Cuba it is: taking the CIA's offshore brothel and gambling island off it.

For anyone struggling with the heat today, here's a map of where you can cool down in London apps.london.gov.uk/cool-spaces/

With the price of fuel going up by the week, change lanes to avoid the impact. Bus tickets are capped at £20 a week. Walking and cycling short trips is free. Fewer short car trips also means less congestion, more reliable public transport, safer and better roads, cleaner air, and healthier people.

Social media is no longer social. Most of it is passive viewing of videos and pictures from people we've never met. But we're still studying social media like it's 2010. We've entered the post-social media era — and research needs to catch up. osf.io/preprints/so... preprint w/ Richard Rogers

Working with a broken controller hasn't been fun, but I've tried my best. 1 hr 35 mins of house/deep techno that I'm loving right now. Shares much appreciated. You could also suport me on kofi if you like my mixes/design, it's always appreciated Cheers 😊 www.mixcloud.com/deandeep/dea...

The rebranded Evening Standard, now weekly, is a pale imitation of the former paper. Main story about two nepo babies. Barely any news about London. Content taken from social media. More like a Sunday magazine than a newspaper. Everyone involved should be thoroughly ashamed.

The group bike ride for Alex Pretti is about to depart in Minneapolis, stopping at his memorial, then Renee Good’s, and finishing at the VFW. If you can join, hop on anywhere. It’s a warm 17° & sunny! I’ve never seen this many cyclists for a group ride. ⚡️✊🏽⚡️🚲⚡️✊🏽⚡️ #RIPPretti

DfT press release on footway parking. They've bottled a national ban and so will rely on local action with new powers (which are not explained, but area-based). A postcode lottery as now then? I await actual details. www.gov.uk/government/n...

Shameless fakery.

Venezuelans are now going to bear arms to protect themselves against a tyrannical government, something Americans seem unwilling or unable to do.

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

US forces attacking Venezuela 😳 Trump is a fucking insane lunatic

Question from the 11 year old Is ‘two’ pronounced the same as ‘to’ ?

This seems like a good time to remind people that everyone in politics and media knew very well that Johnson was a bent, disastrous imbecile and that he was made Tory leader *specifically because* he was the candidate the Mail, the Sun, the Times, the Telegraph and the Express would all get behind.

Have been thinking about “immigration has been tearing this country apart.” Surely I’m not the only person to think that it isn’t true, but inflamed rhetoric about immigration by politicians is what is tearing this country apart and so statements like that only makes it worse.

Big turn in central London out for the “rich farmers complaining about paying tax” demo

Transform Tulse Hill led a deputation to Lambeth Council tonight to urge them to support safety improvements at Tulse Hill Gyratory. The council agreed to press TfL for funding for a major scheme & if that doesn't work, will explore a developer-funded scheme and/or smaller, targeted improvements.

Things I’ve seen drivers do while I’ve been cycling around London: -driving no handed eating fish&chips -doing laughing gas -eating a full English off a dinner plate -watching netflix on an ipad -crashing Yesterday I saw a woman stopped at traffic lights doing lines of coke off her hand 🤦🏻‍♀️

Really sad to hear about D’Angelo. Always reminds me of the late 90s and his music being so good in a sea of shite Britpop. Alongside Angie Stone, Erykah Badu and Maxwell his was a voice of the times. This is my favourite of his tracks: youtu.be/wsaHsR1YU4M?...

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

This is the first party political broadcast in a very long time that understands the trouble we’re in. Great job @zackpolanski.bsky.social 💚 youtu.be/qxt4HCjd7VA

Would you push someone off this 54-foot ladder? Hitting them with your car at 40mph does the same damage.

American kids are dying from measles because lunatic right wing anti-vaxxers are in charge. Not only are they unable to govern, they are stripping away people’s rights & literally allowing people to die. If you want to know what a Reform government would look like in the UK, just look at this.

LTNs make junctions on boundary roads safer for pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists and drivers.

Day in, day out, I speak to ordinary people who are organising to welcome the asylum seekers accommodated in their towns. They befriend, support them, reach out to them as fellow human beings. That's the Britain I know, the one I see around me & we never get told about on TV.

GRMA to everyone who came to support us as the carnival of distraction rolls on We'll be back on Sep 26th for Court to determine jurisdiction. We have set out why it does not. Kneecap is not the story. Palestine is the story. The British government is aiding genocide. Don't stop calling them out

80 years ago, the US dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima. We remember the thousands who were killed in a crime against humanity, as well as the survivors who carried the pain of the past. Today, let us honour them by vowing to rid our world of nuclear weapons once and for all.

People will be like "I would do anything for my kids!!!" right up until you suggest dropping the speed limit to 20mph.

This iconic Fabian Todorovic cartoon is still one of the best I’ve seen at illustrating the remarkable amount of space we surrender to cars, leaving little space left for everyone and everything else. The text added later makes the bonus point that many drivers still manage to complain about it.

Last night 80+ residents & businesses came together for a positive & collaborative meeting about the Tulse Hill gyratory with Helen Hayes MP, councillor Olga FitzRoy, @labourmarina.bsky.social, The Norwood Forum & others. Lots of great ideas & people keen to get involved in transforming Tulse Hill

"Fix the gyratory" - Brixton Buzz Public meeting this Wednesday 7pm. www.brixtonbuzz.com/2025/07/fix-...

Talk about The Wire, Sopranos, Game of Thrones all you want, but the greatest US television program ever made is Sesame Street. It's not even close. 50+ years of treating kids across class, ethnicity, religion not as mini-consumers...but as citizens with a stake in this world.

Tulse Hill deserves so much more. Right now, the gyratory system divides our community and puts lives at risk. We’re campaigning for a safer road system which puts people first—less traffic, more space to walk, cycle, meet, & shop. Join us, come to our meeting & help #TransformTulseHill.

It's time to fix the dangerous Tulse Hill gyratory. Join us at Transform Tulse Hill and come to our first public meeting bringing together residents, businesses, Helen Hayes MP, Cllr Olga Fitzroy & other community groups. 7pm on Wed 23 July, Salvation Army Hall, 246 Norwood Road, SE27 9AW.

Biggup @subdermic.bsky.social for the new album Corvus, worth checking out if you like uncompromising techno. “Arciform” slaps, plus many other hard diamonds on this 8 tracker. thesubdermic.bandcamp.com/album/corvus

HH, like Crystal Palace, is a nexus of shops and cafes with a large park nearby, and yet the experience of being in both is dominated by a near-constant stream of vehicles simply passing through to somewhere else. Great to see businesses challenging everyday carmaggedon

An incredible 6 million cars are driven through the Herne Hill junction every year. 48 people have been hurt in traffic collisions with 21 seriously injured. Traders are calling for action from TfL and Lambeth Council. brixtonblog.com/traders-call...

Oh no, it’s the Cyber Truck of bicycles
