Underground, Overground

My hunt to find locations where you can see Underground trains traveling over Overground trains (or vice versa) continues.

This vantage point near East Putney station has views of tube trains traveling over the railway. I waited 30 mins to get this shot.

The first (1955) Danish edition of Ray Bradbury’s FAHRENHEIT 451. Later editions did not convert the title, so this is the only SI-compatible edition! 🎢

“At the same time, more than half of Gen Z members say they are struggling to make ends meet, yet a majority buy themselves a small treat, such as a pastry, coffee, or sweet, at least once a week. That can lead to overspending…”

Making a point of answering an InternetNZ survey in a way that lets them know that I appreciated reo Māori being used, and local iwi representation at the event. Because in this day and age, it's important to say.

Seeing some dude quoting a 1930s German philosopher is one thing - then realising he's quoting Nick Fuentes misquoting that philosopher? That rings a more than a few alarm bells.

Would not be surprised. Or that they're segmenting their populations in non-country-specific ways. Still... unlocked again for now, but with less inclination to use it and time to make sure people have other means of getting in touch with me in future.

In the year to March 539 #children - some younger than 12 months - were harmed in state care (the highest number in 5 yrs). Meanwhile the coalition govt introduces legislation to further shield itself from responsibility.

Cartoon. Two panels. Left panel shows a sleeping baby cupped in a hand against a night sky. The title is “State of Should care” The right hand panel shows a baby being held by the skin on its back against a background of flames. The title is “State of Don’t Care”

Would have been good if there had been any warning, and an opportunity to let people know I wouldn't be able to access it anymore. But I guess that's the kind of bullshit outfit they're running these days.

Locked out of Facebook because I couldn't (and wouldn't) supply them with a "video selfie".

I don't use it much as a social network anymore, because the jank has just kept getting jankier, but that's one way to stop things entirely I guess.

For a moment there I misread that as "highly polished statutory goon cave" and I am still unsure which is worse.
