Here’s an interesting and important study on how fact-checking social media can lead to accusations of bias against right wing discourse - but it’s actually because that discourse is more likely to contain misinformation to start with. Paging @sheencr.bsky.social

Another train cancellation. Had to cancel existing ticket and buy a new one (different companies) to endure the alleged luxury of getting to work on time. Booking fees apply. WiFi intermittent at best. So long trains, promise I’ll try to travel green whenever I can… #greentravel #train #trainfail

Sadly I’ve decided after 3.5 years of ‘green’ commuting and #activetravel across #Devon, I can’t do it anymore. The trains are frequently late and the fallacy that I can ‘work on the train’ is over… no signal, ever. Gutted. I tried.

Or apprentice did his #worldAIDSday presentation to the team yesterday. 👏🏻🥹 🌱 Seeing this through an 18 year olds world view was humbling. His insight that none of his mates knew what it was reminded me … 😬 I think we might need a fresh approach to get to zero… #HIV #publichealth #HIVsky

Been to see the fantastic #FontainesDC tonight. Love gigs, love going on my own too. Decent sized crowd of suitably hirsute folk… Feeling oddly nostalgic for smell of farts, cider, sweat and cannabis; now just farts, ale and bubblegum / blueberry vape smog… ewwww 😝

Something different this weekend… a pottery class… time for myself, time to be creative. When life gives you lemons, make a bowl and plan to fill it with #roastpotatoes *not final product - kiln stage awaits…
