Yep, that's great. Just fantastic. We were told that Starmer would lay out the patriotic case for diversity today. What we got was an article in the Telegraph, behind a paywall, about how the left failed to tackle immigration and now we all have to have ID cards www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/09...

The only thing about the UK's new digital ID announcement that I'm going to enjoy is watching the 15 minute city conspiracy theory whackjobs doing contortions to support it because it is anti foreigner. Apart from that, the rest of it stinks.

For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR. This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA

Regarding the Palestine news I think I’d be more impressed if, at this point, the whole UN rescinded Israel’s recognition as a state. #oneinoneout

Reform are now coming after people with permanent residency. It'll be citizens next. No one is safe from authoritarian governments.

This is the most impactful thing one can do to protest corporate caving to autocracy. Canceling Disney and Hulu subscriptions. I suggest you do the same. Now. And boost messaging like this to friends. Push back hard.

@ascentale A question for the #biketooter women which I know is going to be *very* subjective. My wife doesn't like cycling because she finds saddles *very* uncomfortable (partly due to a broken coccyx as a child). I'd love to go on rides together, so looking for recommendations. Are there […]

The Trump regime's security forces zip-tied and arrested more than a dozen New York lawmakers yesterday as they insisted on their right to inspect an ICE facility that's been accused of holding prisoners in overcrowded, unsanitary conditions. I don't see how, at this point, anyone can fail to […]

Camden High Street struggles for customers on a random September Friday now that motorists have been restricted.

Boycotting the Eurovision is cool (especially because Israelis *really* care about the Eurovision) but this, right here, is another level

Agent Orange’s visit has achieved what @theroyalparks.bsky.social and the CEPC have failed to do: it has almost entirely removed rat running motors with ONE modal filter. #RegentsPark is heavenly quiet today.

If a leftie on a Palestine Action protest had said "Kill Keir Starmer" it would be front page news and everyone would be condemning the 'violence of the Left' #keirstarmer #starmer #politicalviolence #fascism #fascists #farright #ukpol #ukpolitics #PalestineAction

The MMR vaccine is perfectly safe. Measles is not. MMR vaccine- studied for more than 50 years. Less than 1 in 1,000,000 chance of allergic reaction. No chance of death or permanent injury. NO evidence of increased risk of autism. Measles- 1 in 5 will die without hospitalization. 1 in 500 will […]

All corruption, all the time in Trump world -- billions and billions of dollars of crytpocurrency "value" flowing into family wallets. Latest newsletter from the brilliant Molly White: https://www.citationneeded.news/issue-92/

Am I to understand that after arresting many hundreds of quiet people holding signs under "terrorism" legislation over the past few weeks, after hours of "significant aggression" and "unacceptable violence" today the police arrested a total of NINE people? How reassuring that the new Home […]

Proton Mail Falls Under U.S. Jurisdiction If you read their Terms of Service, at first glance, they reference the laws of Switzerland. However, because they now have offices in the United States — along with registrations, trademarks, copyrights, and patents in the U.S. — they also cite U.S […]

Oh this causes the pedant in me much pain. 'Modernization' spelled the American way, and ‘Programme' the European way. Aggggh.

This is the point in american history where i would just load the save from september 10 2001 and try again

This week’s London tube strike had the effect of swelling the already significant volume of people on bikes. This YouTuber regularly documents safe cycle routes within London (using official cycle routes or Low Traffic schemes) and this ride across London shows it being pretty chaotic. Note that […]

Protests against Trump erupt inside D.C. restaurant as people chant to his face: “FREE D.C.! FREE PALESTINE! TRUMP IS THE HITLER OF OUR TIME!” #washingtondc #protest #trump #donaldtrump

I went to the American embassy today to get a passport card that I could carry in my wallet to show my citizenship in case masked men try to kidnap me when I’m in the US. Seriously.

I never thought I would see the day that a Fellow of the Royal Society would seek to interfere in our upcoming presidential election by attacking the reputation of our democratically elected Tánaiste while supporting a totally unqualified local Trumpeen with multiple convictions for violence […]

Could we please stop pretending that the flags being hung from streetlamps or painted on roundabouts are innocent expressions of patriotic pride? This is the far right marking out its territory. It uses these flags to intimidate its traditional victims and opponents. 🧵1/3

What a shame that the counters are off. Took me 2 light cycles at end of the embankment and another 2 at parliament square. I will send you a screenshot later if I can (realised that my cam was off) @CS3CS6Count #biketooter #london #tubestrike

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge? It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door. Source code and a downloadable app to try it yourself […] [Original post on hachyderm.io]

"Why aren't there more protests in DC?" I've seen and gotten this question a lot. The people of DC are organizing, but we are organizing each other. In a hundred different ways you mostly can't see. We are building relationships that will last. We are refining skills and tactics. I see the […]

I'd go as far as to say this might be the single best thing I ever wrote to publish on WillCycle - if you're into cycling, and you still haven't read it, I suggest you will find value in it: https://www.willcycle.com/2025/01/07/cycling-campaigning-starter/ #cycling #cyclecampaigning #willcycle
