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?

Zack Polanski has challenged PM Andy Burnham to treat wildfires as a national emergency by calling a COBRA meeting. Now Fire Brigades Union calls for funding, equipment and support but No 10 continues to play the crisis down. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

They've put signage up but it's contradictory. Feels like a concerted effort to ensure every single visitor to Birkenhead comes away with a negative experience.

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.

I wonder what Merseytravel plan to do with the site, it's not like we have a lot of buses coming through. They've also taken back the ferry terminal from the Chamber of Commerce.

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.

Totally humbled by a Russian girl who was able to explain the subjunctive to me in English in my Paris based French class. We're such a nation of ignorant monoglots.

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...

@lcrmayor.bsky.social you took years to implement this and yet it's still substandard. Not to mention all the emails I get telling me I forgot to tap out, which is impossible as all my stations have barriers. If I go back to paper tickets I don't get the fare cap. This feels like another downgrade.
000
the wilk @thewilk.bsky.social · 26/05/2026
Complained immediately, today they've said they're fixing it but that it wasn't an error, if you tap out at the same station after more than 30 minutes it will charge you max fare, so you're fucked if your half hourly train is late of cancelled

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.
