I have today learned that the foremost medieval history of Scotland is called the Scotichronicon. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotich...

Experts are saying it: SUVs damage our roads more than ordinary passenger cars. I’ve asked TfL to look into the effect of supersized SUVs in London as more of these vehicles take up space on London’s roads.

The Lords debated the safety of cyclists this afternoon, and it was – with a few exceptions – as crap as you'd expect. Mix of victim blaming, poor understanding & assumption that zone 1 London is a valid national example. DfT minister Peter Hendy was disappointingly bad as well.

Conservative Mayor of Tees Valley Lord Houchen told Newsnight in 2024 that 2 private developers had ‘£50m of their money sitting in a bank account’ when I quoted an independent report pointing out the pair had put no direct cash of their own into regenerating the huge old Redcar steelworks site 👇

I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

Shall I tell them?

Robin Ince reveals to last night’s audience at a recording of Infinite Monkey Cage that the BBC has forced him to resign over his support of trans people

Hell yes. 1.9Gbs home internet over wifi.

Not taking into account London housing costs is mad.

I’m not sure how I feel about Kimmel’s replacement, tbh.

Make no mistake, everything that’s happening in the United States is being significantly enabled by the right wing oligarch capture of media. Every other country needs to do everything possible to keep that from happening where they are. Including protecting the CBC from Poilievre here in Canada.

RESISTANCE comes in many forms. We resist the rise of fascism in everything we do. We are on the streets. We are gathering and resourcing each other We are gathering to grieve and making inequality visible

There is a serious failure in UK govt, politics & media to take sufficiently seriously what Musk said & meant with "fight back or die" = Violence (interethnic civil war) is inevitable so pre-emptive violence - vs migrants, minorities & political opponents - is necessary to avoid existential erasure

Something weird about this story: he was pinned to the machine for an hour. Emergency quenching shouldn't take longer than a minute, but it would cost $ in downtime and helium. USA healthcare cost before people or lack of people with emergency shutdown knowledge? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Cant help but think this current labour government would have sided with the police if this happened today. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Have to say my procrastination is top level today. Two letters written to parliament when I should be working on my project.

This is an appalling article by the guardian. I talkst about the number of accidents involving cyclists? How many of those involved motarised vehicles? It mentions the danger of cyclists but not cars. www.theguardian.com/news/2025/ju...

God I hate these people.

The prusa mk4s was a pleasure to build. Fairly complicated, took a couple of days. Fantastic instructions. Flawless prints to start with. Products was severely let down by the supplied faulty usb stick. Took hours to trouble shoot as I was not expecting this was the problem. @josefprusa.bsky.social

Thames Water Prospective Private Equity Owner KKR Donated $1m to Trump Inauguration. Business model: profiteering, price hikes, low investment, high leverage, asset-stripping, excessive returns. In US KKR group sanctioned 217 times, fined $678m for anti-social practices. Can't address water woes.

Day 1 of vintage amp restoration. Rogers cadet III. God help me.

She is going to end up full fasc isnt she. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

At this rate we will need to start talking about who is appeasing Trump. Europe should put on a united front. Any pretence Trumps America is an ally of Europe is completely gone.

I have to keep checking these are not from the Onion.

Oh brother

Why do UK Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) guidelines still not acknowledge airborne transmission of Covid-19? | Anne Marie McConway @northwestbylines.co.uk

And ofwat give a 35% above inflation bill raise. Terrible decision.

You might know us from our videos of Alan Sugar and various awful politicians. But the thing we're most proud of is our album Carry On Breathing. Next time you're going to listen to a podcast, why not stick this on instead? cassetteboy.bandcamp.com/album/carry-...

"just cash extraction each and every year for 34 years". We need to let the businesses fail and be taken into public hands. @emmahardymp.bsky.social

Severn Trent artificially inflates assets to pay dividends. More dividends paid than profits earned. We need to get these corporate ghouls out of what should be publicly owned assets. This has already happened to Thames. When the company is crippled by debt we pay. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Ummm... Presuming this is not a real account.

The impunity and callousness of these prison service statements is terrifying news.sky.com/story/he-was...

Went to this earlier this year. Would definitely recommend.

Ok, well this sounds a lot better than reporting actual racist Nazis, you know with swastika and everything, only to be and being told no violations were found.

Moving from X so here is my last post from that platform to get me started. Walthamstow Lights! Never thought I would see the aurora in London. #aurora
