A court has ruled that the government's authoritarian ban on Palestine Action was unlawful.

Time to stop criminalising the people protesting a genocide - and start ending the UK's complicity.

Shocking repeat of the French trial. Except in this case, most of them are pleading not guilty in the hope they'll get away with it.

Still, blame the immigrants and the trans people, right?

Most days for the past few months, I've been throwing a little bit of food for the crows outside my house. They recognise me when I come home and wait close by.

Yesterday, after I'd finished, they followed me down the street, while pretending they weren't following me 🥰

Apple has introduced live call translation (beta). Only works in one direction, so not sure of the point of it. Translation is confusing (what's the difference between Auszug and Umzug? It just says move and move). And it's too slow–by the time it's finished translating, the other side has timed out

As something of a specialist in mitigation, “Actually I took my children with me to Paedo Island” is not what I would open with.

Watching the Michelle Obama doc on Netflix brought a tear to my eye. She was such a good person and meant only well. She wasn't mean, spiteful or greedy, and definitely not a sex pest paedophile. Makes me sick to see how low the country has sunk in such a short space of time bc of one perverted man.

"Club culture is notoriously hard to capture on film", according to a Guardian article www.theguardian.com/film/2026/fe...

The author's obviously never seen Spaced, with possibly the most accurate club scene imaginable www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRW8...

Yesterday, I saw some crows checking out a nest they made last year, decided whether to move back in.

And today I saw some pigeons move into a nest nearby also from last year. Looking forward to eggs and chicks soon

Making £££ by generating fake far right videos with no concern for the effects on real people's lives 😡
Hate-filled fake videos about London are everywhere. We've obtained a recording of a TikToker confessing to secretly filming Londoners in their homes for clicks.

He says it's not political. He just wants to make money from far-right anger.

Read what he says: www.londoncentric.media/p/london-tik...

In a specialist menswear shop yesterday, I couldn't get size S trousers on my legs, because chunky thighs. Sales assistant described me as "incredibly muscled". He may have been flirting to get me to spend more money, but I'll take that! 😊

@jonnywhitlam.bsky.social you popped up randomly in my Facebook. Nice to see you there too.

now I know why Tunnelstr in Treptow is called that :)

When I was about 11 or 12, me and my brother got a Routemaster bus home from a shopping trip (113 from central London to Edgware).

At one point the conductor came to chat to us, and let me do the ding ding to leave a stop. I was so happy!

They really need to start again from fresh. Build it from the ground up, and fit for purpose. Build it back better.

That includes the people and processes too!
At first I thought this table was a joke. But no, the proposals to restore the Houses of Parliament really are costed at a min of £8.4b and to take 19 yrs; max, £19.4b and 84 yrs. A normal country would go: that's absurd. Let's build a new one for a billion.

Berlin's Winterdienst (road and street snow clearing services) seems to have given up? They're doing a really bad job the past few days.

I keep seeing winterdienst trucks bouncing along snowy roads, ignoring what's in front of them, on their way somewhere else.

Does anyone use Outbank banking software?

Please send me a referral code, so I can get 3 months free (and you get 10€)

Buying a new winter hat from Amazon. Delivery in a couple of weeks for 2.99. Or same day, for 200. I wonder how much the courier gets from that, for the extra speedy service?

I went to the ballet at Deutsche Oper with @eliotlovell.bsky.social yesterday.

Didn't expect to them to be inviting members of the audience on stage to dance with them to a rave track from the mid 90s!🕺

People in UK: if you like biscuits, and you like fruit, and you like chocolate (and if you don't, we can't be friends!), buy these! They're actually amazing.

I got them on my recent trip there, just because they looked nice, and OMG! 🤤

My gym is updating the lockers from padlock to electronic, controlled by our membership cards. They took out most of the padlock attachments and installed the new locks. Then they realised they'd forgotten to program them so none of them worked. Now instead of 200 lockers, only about 20 are usable 🤪
