I know it’s supposed to be a helmet, but every time I see these icons in local bike lanes, it makes me think of BABYLON 5's Londo Mollari on a bike…
Once again for those at the back, Vimes is *not* about wealth. It's about poverty. If you keep trying to make it about wealth, you're showing your own focus and ignorance. It's about how expensive it is to be poor.

I recently booked a car viewing via a dealer's website, and didn't even realise I was talking to an AI chatbot. And fair play, it was great! Apart from it booking us in to the wrong department, for the wrong vehicle, and not telling anyone we were coming, which took half a dozen people to sort out.
Once again, I come back to the fact these guys have created a situation where one of the UK's leading, cis female athletes is scared to go to the loo alone, and the fact that they are celebrating this as a step forward for women's rights.

What a repulsive man. I had eye problems. Everything from routine cataract surgery and laser work for retinopathy in both eyes, to a vitrectomy. Some of the surgeons and nurses didn't have flawless English. But as they were busy saving my eyesight, it would have seemed churlish to whine about it...
It’s not edgy to challenge Sam Vimes’ Boots Law. It doesn’t make you an edgelord. Sorry, and all that.
☁️ Yesterday evening, a giant hole suddenly opened in the clouds over Mount Hood, Oregon. Known as a Fallstreak Hole, this rare phenomenon forms when supercooled cloud droplets freeze into ice crystals, leaving behind a dramatic circular opening in the sky.

Another day, another plan originating from the UK that would involve the EU making wholesale changes to its own internal and external arrangements to suit the interests and political preferences of a neighbouring non-member state.

This is *such* a revealing line about Kemi's world view and contempt for those who do the day to day work of keeping our society functioning
Badenoch won’t give Shapps a second chance, but will give Bonehill-Paine. Interesting choices she makes.

I just can’t believe we’re seeing this sort of stuff from a sitting MP Just want to say to British Somalis that you are loved and I’m so, sorry this is happening.
The state of this. A lovely day out for Badenoch and Philp, playing dress up and making pronouncements about early release schemes - having left the country with one hundred available men's prison places, after fourteen years in charge. You read that right. One hundred places.
BWM cars now showing owners and unskippable ad for the new Spider Man Film whenever they start the vehicle. This shit needs to become illegal, yesterday, else how long before you have to watch it *before* you can start the vehicle.
This is what happens when anti-racism norms erode, and elites bear a lot of the responsibility for norm erosion, as they have disproportionate power to set and enforce norms
Charles EP Murphy@cepmurphy.bsky.social · 2d agonews.sky.com/story/nhs-st... stereotypically this has been seen as Old People, but not only would the old people of now have often been born post-Windrush, lot of this will be younger people who've always lived in a diverse Britain. The guy with a pregnant wife likely millennial at oldest
This is utterly dispicable "The UK Home Office has started stripping some EU citizens of their post-Brexit residency rights, in a move that has raised concerns about Britain’s compliance with its withdrawal agreement with Europe" www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
EU citizens in UK get letters telling them post-Brexit residency rights were given ‘in error’
After years of building lives in UK, potentially thousands of EU citizens could be told they have no right to remain

School trip to Bristol in 1986. A middle aged woman in a newsagents called me "my lover" and it made me feel all awkward because I was only 14 and didn't feel up to making love to a middle aged woman. I've never been back to Bristol in case she finds me and repeats her request.
The Challenger disaster was a horrible tragedy, but I remember it was so shocking because catastrophe under NASA was so rare. This never-ending procession of privatised space rockets exploding every other week is making it mundane. Privatisation is shit.
The new CEO of Bluesky wants to change Bluesky from being a leftist bubble. The thing is, there’s nothing wrong with being a leftist bubble: the idea that everything has to be all-encompassing and suitable for everyone is a trap. 🧵 1/4
