Fuck me. Another journey home of narrow misses with cyclists on the pavement. One besuited banker on a Brompton, one Deliveroo twat on an electric bike. Both furious at me for having the temerity the walk on the pavement. Get a grip, lads. And get back on the road.

I know nothing about Dr Who, but, for Londoners, the phrase "Going For Dinner With Billie Piper" is the absolute best way to remember the order of the vertical streets running east to west in Soho (Greek, Frith, Dean, Wardour, Berwick, Poland) and has saved many a late night out

Now, I'm sure I've seen a similar aesthetic somewhere, but somehow kann ich einfach nicht meinen Finger drauflegen.
Here is Gregory Bovino, the man in charge of ICE agents in Chicago.

Uncertainty is a feature of science, not a flaw.
Admitting uncertainty isn't the same as pretending both sides are equal.
Populists exploit this nuance to sow doubt on issues like medicine, climate and vaccines.

Love this. Would you prefer a copy of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in place of a Bible in your hotel room?

The very outlets and columnists that say that they abhor groupthink are reflexively producing the same article and viewpoints, time and again, with virtually no discernible difference.
You get the media you pay for. Spend accordingly.

Irish media outlets should be reflecting on how they have a single transferable article that all their various competing columnists are sharing and what that implies about the breadth of their actual contribution to the public
Fintan O'T says the President has "a hollow crown" and "meagre mandate"

He doesn't compare turnout from past elections, which is wise as those facts would spoil the desired effect.

I've nit experienced an election here where so much effort was expended on day 1 to delegitimise the result

By failing to even get nominated for the Presidency while another independent candidate scored a record victory, I have of course been proven right

And people say the British press doesn't know anything about Ireland. They got this scoop, didn't they.

If Sarah Pochin doesn’t lose the whip we can only assume her disgraceful racist comments are endorsed by her party. And if diversity on TV is really driving her “mad”, maybe she could try educating herself on why it matters - and why her language was completely inappropriate for an MP.

Right-wingers: “We don’t feel represented!”

*Everyone stops, turns, listens. Podcasts are recorded, articles written*

Queers, people of colour, neurodivergent folk, working class people:
“We don’t feel represented!”

*Crickets*
24 years today with this one. 🥰
Survived my 6km run in the feeezing sunshine. It was glorious! #running #RunningLondon #Limehouse #CanaryWharf #SweatySelfie
