What’s particularly excellent about this is that it’s clearly a bricked up door. Effectively a forum thread being locked, continuing forever behind it.

On another #DoctorWho subject, how did Big Wett manage to release Dugga Doo three weeks before Murray Gold?? youtu.be/5OObSyQASes

Feels like a good weekend to chuck this Rochester street name into the #DoctorWho hashtag

Excellent post today from @diamondgeezer.bsky.social looking at how fares vary within London with many south of the river paying a fair bit more for journeys diamondgeezer.blogspot.com/2025/05/lond...

Wish World is perfect. A terrifying allegory of society today. A horrifying vision of conformity, queerphobia, and ableism driven by the wishes of an elitist children's author, ultimately creating a fragile exclusionary world of uncertainty and doubt primed for malicious actors to exploit.

Great to see Confidence Man playing to the big audiences their shows deserve 🌈 www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p0l8z1s3 Still exactly the same as they were when we first saw them 7yrs ago this month at Village Underground. So much energy to sustain for the best part of a decade 🤩

"Yeah it's got a river through it so draw a wiggly blue line – no, no-one knows what shape it is, don't worry"

I went to the Charleston festival, and asked Lady Hale a question. I referred to human rights based on subjectivity, and her judgment in A v West Yorkshire Police: our "right to a sexual identity". I am delighted her reply is reported. www.theguardian.com/law/2025/may...

If only there were someone in a senior position of power in this relationship

Not everything is a leadership pitch. Most policies shouldn’t be analysed through the prism of target voters. Excessive savviness is a curse.

Yessssss Dugga Doo is life

Can't believe he made the same prompt alteration to the code running Trump as he did on Grok

And did we sell them the weapons they just fired at our diplomats or

1,553 days until the next UK general election. Perhaps Labour MPs should spend at least some of them (the next 1000, say?) arguing and thinking about things other than electoral strategy?

Oh the Supreme Court's done a newsworthy ruling has it? Who remembers when we thought those would have some kind of basis in reality? Quite hard to care what their opinion is about anything now

On top of the obvious bigotry...he's so OBVIOUSLY unlikeable. I dipped into SU politics 2010-11 and he was universally loathed back then too.

Too many people at the top of the BBC think that they should be competing with the private sector not providing an important thing that the market can't. Should focus on providing detailed coverage of 'what's in it?' that someone with the reading age of a seven year old can parse.

I'm going to go old-school Twitter and ask for some crowdsourced help: If you live near a London park that has lots of private fenced-off events, can you tell me if you think the site is out of bounds for 28+ days a year, inc setup/takedown? (I've been trying to get answers on this all weekend...)

Lewisham is no place for hate. On #IDAHoBiT, we stand with our LGBTQ+ friends, neighbours & community with pride, with support, and with a clear message: everyone deserves to feel safe, valued and respected.

love hearing parents say of their young children that you really do need to get them out of the house and tire them out as much as possible as otherwise they'll be a nightmare by mid/late afternoon and thinking "ah yes, so same as adult ADHD then"

It's funny when you look how often he gets in the media and then looks at the venue capacity of his tour dates (usually 250-500, which he nevertheless fails to sell out)

This line jumped out for me too and I assume is extremely disingenuous, adding together the people attending each day when a festival is on in Brockwell Park to create a giant total, in which case the equivalent figure for Glastonbury would be over a million people

It is a sad half-hearted nod to triangulation to make every policy that contains something good sound like it is bad. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

He needs to go. Labour needs a leader who'll make the most of its huge majority to improve things, not one who's turning big dials that say 'Racism' and 'Transphobia' on them and constantly looking back for approval at an audience of newspaper owners who will never applaud

You have to get a very long way through this Sun story labelling the Foreign Secretary "LAMMY DODGER" and a "THUG" before they report his fare was actually paid in full, and the taxi driver concerned admitted trying to scam him out of an extra £600 before being arrested and charged with theft

If it turns out Falkner just pulled the interim guidance from her own transphobic orifice, surely Sir Due Process Starmer will sack her like he should've last year when her term expired, and install Equality Act author Harriet Harman to explain she meant all women www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Another great read! I love how @londoncentric.media digs under surface of a problem in London, finds an enormously complex mess, then manages to distill it into a readable piece without losing the nuance

We got in a London pedicab so you don’t have to (verdict: deeply, deeply embarrassing)

…I should call him

Love to live in an experiment to see what happens if most politicians and big-media journalists are exposed to a stream of conspiracy theories and nazis, and never the views of anyone who objected to that stuff enough to leave X

Is there any more cursed button on an alarm clock than the minus button? An all-too-tangible prompt that the next day will be worse than the previous

Honestly quite delighted for the Omaze winners, it sounds like they'll actually live in the house and raise their family there and have friends and family to stay in it and stuff, which I think is the absolute best-case scenario, not those Airbnb/landlord schemes people were mooting. Good for them!

Sounds about right as an analogy, considering this is being done to appease old people who won't hear it, and it'll be annoying to most people who do hear it

Word has definitely spread that the 129 bus is free: never been on a busier one from Greenwich to Lewisham, despite a 199 leaving a few minutes beforehand to do exactly the same route
