What the LAPD get up to when they think no-one is watching...

Crimes have been committed by the water companies. If the answer to that is to absolve the criminals so that some other misanthrope can ravage the environment and mug the public, you need to restructure the system such that a better answer emerges. actionnetwork.org/petitions/si...

I think this particular community garden helper deserves a pop at #foxoftheday. #London #Photography

I find this the single most infuriating line pushed by AI promoters, which is saying a lot. But the argument that you can ignore laws if following them would stop you from doing what you want to do is an argument taken seriously in no other context I can think of

Deaf con won.

He knew exactly what he was doing. It was painfully self-conscious, as he tried to salute in a way where he could pretend it was not a Nazi salute at all. He's an awkward child pushing at boundaries, but with a wealth and power that no child - or adult, for that matter - should ever have.

Seems like our government may yet grow a spine: www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

"As you may have seen, earlier this month the Bank of England voted to reduce the base interest rate by 0.25%. So we're reducing the interest on your savings account by 0.5%." - Every bank right now.

Thames Water needs to go. The absolute shame of this. The wrongness. The way the powerful hold us hostage to promises they never deliver, like they have done forever. The way we still suck it up. We badly need to wake up. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Giving the fine people of Bluesky first chance with these last copies before posting to IG. Just 4 left now...

Adverts Of The 80s.

The madder thing, really, is that he thinks banning work from home gives value for money. He doesn't seem to know that many councils mandated partial WFH long before lockdown, in order to cut office space costs. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I know Stafford quite well, but I struggle to understand the motivation here. Do they think people smugglers are rowing up the Staffs and Worcestershire canal?

On the plus side, Lincolnshire - my motherland, if I could be said to have such a place - has just removed itself from the list of places I'm looking to move to. So that makes that job a bit easier. Thanks, Andrea Jenkyns!

Labour should learn a very important lesson from yesterday's result. My money, however, is on them learning a very stupid and wrong lesson.

I haven't seen anyone calling for free speech absolutism; it's the manufactured, over-promoted outrage that is pernicious. Yet that doesn't absolve us of hypocrisy - how do we call out manufactured outrage while reserving the right to pile on gleefully ourselves? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Demand-based capitalism. You've got no friends? Because they're all on my social media platform? Okay, maybe we can create some friends for you to subscribe to... Insanity.
