This is cool as hell: An app designed to ping people about nearby smartglasses. Also cool: The creator was inspired by @404media.co coverage, a great illustration of why their journalism is so essential. This kind of work is funded by paid subscribers so become one of those if you can.

Asif Aziz's Criterion Capital halts mass eviction after London Centric uncovered what was going on. Hundreds of Londoners now receiving bizarre door-to-door visits blaming misinformation and being asked to record videos saying they don't want to be evicted. www.londoncentric.media/p/asif-aziz-...

London Centric doing incredible work. If you're a Londoner (or just care about London I guess) their reporting is well worth the subscription open.substack.com/pub/londonce...

This clip is all over the other place and has made its way onto GB News and Talk TV so I’ll do a bit of an explainer here too! The clip doing the rounds is of a fantastic police officer telling a group of Muslim men that a Christian preacher nearby is entitled to freedom of expression. 🧵 1/19

[Thread] The Andor Season 2 (April 22) fest I had made a huge production thread about Andor on Twitter, several hundred posts over several years. Because the people who make Andor (and showrunner Tony Gulroy in particular) often have interesting things to say. So I'm picking up the thread here. 🤟

This local Wolfdog joined an Olympic ski event and triggered the finish-line camera. This is Nazgul. He snuck into a cross-country skiing sprint this morning and raced the homestretch with some competitors before being escorted home. 14/10 someone get him a medal

Men: if you hear your colleagues or buddies make fun of trans people, the correct response is "What the fuck is wrong with you? Are you an asshole because your dick is small or because you've never once satisfied a woman. Both?" Bring back shame.

It’s the Government’s duty to protect all communities - including trans people. They’re failing to do that. Trans people deserve safety and dignity. www.attitude.co.uk/news/zack-po...

HOT FUZZ was released 19 years ago today. The second entry in Edgar Wright’s Cornetto Trilogy and one of the most beloved British comedies this century, the tale of how it was made is like firing two guns whilst jumping through the air… 1/46

@zackpolanski.bsky.social This is my seat. Labour knocked yesterday and claimed only they could beat Reform. My wife argued this and said Green data showed they were closest challenger. Labour knocker continued to lie and their leaflet showed 2024 data. Don’t vote Labour. They are liars.

While this absolutely sucks, we are going to see a lot more places implementing universal global age verification over this next year, because the number of states and countries legally requiring it has gotten to the point no one can keep up anymore.

my "we are not trampling human rights" NDAs have people asking a lot of questions conveniently unanswerable as a result of my NDAs

Yeah I’m looking for my dog (girlfriend who has a restraining order against me and she has a dog) and here’s the picture of the dog (she walks this dog and I can use it to figure out her schedule) thanks for sending all footage my way

Epic made provably incorrect statements about the game’s content, refused to provide details supporting their claims, and has not shared their claimed AO IARC certificate, which normally includes a link for the developer to appeal. They do not ‘love that studio’, they have effectively ghosted us

he’s right behind me isn’t he

With #Bridgerton back on our screens, let's revisit a classic thread. Queen Charlotte included a scene of King George III eating pussy. So it falls upon us, dear readers, to answer the crucial question: is it historically accurate? Did King George III eat pussy?

Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

Place a trash can over a tear gas grenade? That might help. DO NOT try to pick one up and put it in an upright trash can. Some of those burn at temps that will give 3rd degree burns through WELDING GLOVES. Even with gloves you *think* will work, do not handle burning CS grenades.

know this is not something that could happen either in general or at least in the next few years but I would genuinely love it if a journalist could sit down with some of the powerful people who interacted with Epstein - even anonymously - so they could explain what they got out of the relationship

Israel has murdered more than 500 Palestinians in Gaza since it signed the so called ceasefire. One of the latest is a 3 year old child.

Still can't believe the latest Epstein Files release just casually confirmed the anti-SJW movement was planned by pedophiles. "The entire reactionary anti-woke backlash was masterminded by child traffickers" is the kinda shit I'd say as hyperbolic agitprop, but it was true the whole time.

Striking numbers which demonstrate, in spades, how tiny is the popular support for the culture of hate that Britain's institutions seem determined to impose on a kind and accepting majority. (Expect the BBC to ignore it or qualify it to oblivion.)

On 29th January 1996, "Threshold", the Star Trek: Voyager episode where Captain Janeway and Tom Paris turned into giant space newts and had babies first aired. Since it's #ThresholdDay we aim to answer a burning question: did Paris and Janeway fuck? If so, how did they fuck?

With Trump’s increasing belligerence, the UK urgently needs to establish digital sovereignty. Our country’s day-to-day functions should not rely on a handful of US-based tech giants. I am calling for a UK digital sovereignty strategy. Write to your MP! action.openrightsgroup.org/protect-brit...

UK PEOPLE: this is REALLY IMPORTANT. If the government bans under-16s from using VPNs, then logically they must intend to REQUIRE AGE VERIFICATION FOR ALL VPN USE. Which will affect adults too! *Your* right to anonymous web browsing is at risk! https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/754408

For those outside the UK who may not have seen, we had a reckoning on media regulation 15 years ago, and the media won a decisive victory against meaningful regulation. TL;DR, they were caught hacking the phone of a murdered child, there was an enquiry, but they avoided all the recommendations…

Nine years to the day since Graham Linehan foresaw his own fate.

Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and Keith Porter Jr. were murdered. Marimar Martinez was shot. Mahmoud Khalil was arrested and jailed. The next could be you. What’s at stake isn’t just our democracy. It’s also your safety and security and that of your loved ones. This is personal — to every one of us.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Gideon Levy "Israeli impunity is a fact & we have to face it.. Israel can do many many things that no other country in the world can do.. this obviously includes this barbaric destruction of an international aid agency.. if you ask me why Israel is doing it, because it can do it"

My group was able to recover a spent canister from a green smoke grenade in Minneapolis. We now confirm with physical evidence that it was a green signaling grenade. Please don't spread rumors about hexachloroethane or nerve agents. #PublicPreparedness #Minneapolis
