Must have been at least a hundred people at Monks Ferry to watch the Disney Cruise ship leave, it was a boss display and I actually got a lump in my throat when the two Typhoons appeared. Just a shame there's nothing else for them to do here or anything that would make them want to come back!

The Jason Arday story is by no means the biggest scandal at Cambridge University. I'm sure the media is going to pick this up and run with it in just the same way ... Or is the exaggerated CV of one Black professor somehow more important than this?

Every single time I walk down the prom at Birkenhead these days (which tbf isn't often since it became such a shithole) I see cyclists trying to use it and having to turn back.

Just added the book I'm reading to Goodreads and apparently I already got 40 pages in back in 2015 and then gave up, giving it 1 star. Zero recollection of ever reading it and it's quite good. This happens all the time on Letterboxd too, I wonder why I bother consuming media.

Wes Streeting has been made Defence Secretary. In his released correspondence with Peter Mandelson, he said: “Israel is committing war crimes before our eyes.” Journalists should ask him: 1) Does he stand by that? 2) What legal obligations does the UK therefore have?

Regulating children is not the same thing as regulating social media platforms. Seems very important to distinguish between the two. However, social media platforms tend to be run by powerful billionaires, so easier to go after the kids instead.

You are creating that debate. There is no debate. There is a far right talking point and a media willing to traffic it into the mainstream.

FFS. In the name of "safety" they're going to dim or turn off the street lights on the dock road when it's less busy. Councillors like Dan Barrington have no concept that people exist when they're not being the wheel of a car. Helmets. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

So on Friday night I was stuck in Liverpool Central for 40 minutes while all the trains to the Wirral were delayed then cancelled. Gave up and got the bus home. Next day, charged 2x max fares - £25 because I tapped out at Central.

As Health Secretary, Wes Streeting deepened the privatisation of our NHS and handed over our data to Palantir, a company involved in genocide. I am sure his friend Peter Mandelson is very proud. Time to reinstate our NHS as a fully public service — and kick Palantir out!

I have likely missed the serious discourse on this. I'm a big fan of Jess Philips, but the technology does not exist to stop children taking naked pictures of themselves. Or, in so far as it does, the technology is "not letting children have cameras".
