For the first since I started watching the 9/11 commemoration livestreams several years ago, I've actually switched the livestream off this year. An act of commemoration is NOT the time OR place to be pushing agendas.

A video claims to show massive crowds "shutting down London" to demand halal food standards. But this supposed footage is AI-generated and entirely fake, despite hundreds of comments appearing to believe it’s genuine.

Bonanza for broadband companies. UK Govt, at the behest of companies, considers ending Freeview TV in 2034. You will need to pay £400 a year for broadband link (today's price) + TV licence to watch TV. Many areas have poor signal. Broadband price increases exceed rate of inflation. Say NO.

Today, 32+°C - "you're allowed to WFH due to the heat, we don't expect you travel in to the office" Tomorrow, forecast was "only" 30°C - "BAU, in the office if it would usually be an office day for you" Two degrees difference, still bloody hot. Make this make sense, because it doesn't to me. 1/

This is a very good thread on the whole "it's just summer innit?" nonsense. Yes *we* survived 1976, and that gives us survivor bias, but the climate is changing far faster than we can adapt to deal with it. This is a fact, no matter what the conspiracy nutters might want to believe.
