The question is, do you feel lucky, human? Well do ya?

<memories of arriving at check-in after it had closed, pleading with the ground staff and having to run with my hold baggage to the gate, cram it through a too-small x-ray and leave it by the undercarriage for loading>*

I have form battling unfair freelance contributor contracts (and winning 💅).

I *always* retained copyright. Always.

Too many people don’t understand copyright law. In the U.K. at least, it’s pretty simple (until the corporates start with their licence restrictions 🙄).

Hmmmmm

I’m surprised the US is still considered a reliable weapons supplier tbh.

Guess it’s way too late to change this kind of order. But next time around? Hmm…

Mamdani talking lucidly and passionately about trans rights and history in a video that should frankly shame every politician who has hemmed and hawed and triangulated and said, "Well, but sports..." It's not that hard to tell the truth and stand for what's right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvV...

Although according to that EasyJet link, glasses are no problem (in my case the 28 weeks training in Arizona might be, though 🙄)

Dreamliner Again @entirelyharmless.bsky.social · 3h

My eyes are shit.

I wanted to be a pilot when I was small.

Then I discovered I couldn’t see the blackboard at school.

Gutted.

I think I’d make a good pilot (aside from being like Velma from Scooby Doo without my glasses 🤣)

Mood.

Dreamliner Again @entirelyharmless.bsky.social · 3h

Oh!

Ok. Maybe you’ve got a point, then 🙂

Dreamliner Again @entirelyharmless.bsky.social · 3h

I don’t think you can train to fly commercial jets with just GCSEs. Pretty sure you need a degree…?

Not a surprise: the (beef) burger is, by far, the worst offender. It has more than twice the climate impact of the next worst meal (Swedish meatballs, since you asked).

Surprise: continental breakfast has more than double the impact of a full English 😲

The menu on this ferry doesn’t show calories for each meal.

It shows kg CO2.

It’s quite the eye-opener (I’d quite like to see both displayed tbh).

Yes, that’s what I’ve tried to do.

My parents have fallen for a couple of online scams in the past few years.

I’ve had words. It’s all you can do really.

This is such important advice from Nina, please share to keep yourselves and others safe.

Nina Sawetz says;
Yesterday I saw an Instagram Live, and within 30 seconds, I could pinpoint the influencer's exact location with a reverse-image Google search.
Perfect reminder of how easy it is to give away more than you realise online.
If you're doing a live, especially as a solo woman, leader or public figure who may be more exposed to threats, be mindful of what's in your background - signs, landmarks, reflections or a distinctive building, is often all it takes for someone to be able to find you. And ideally, post only after you've left the location.
A little extra awareness goes a long way in keeping you safe and in control of your story

Things the UK government and the EHRC don't think trans people should be able to do:

Access Healthcare
Have Sex
Use Public Toilets
Be Lesbian
Be Gay
Be Safe

Greens growing. Reform ratttled.

PS - I changed my name back to my family's original Jewish name because I'm proud of being Jewish. If Tice think that makes me a weirdo, I think that makes him an antisemite.

Join.greenparty.org.uk

Tice "green party leader Zack Polanski is a weirdo. Changed his name, claimed hypnosis could increase women's breast size, thinks me should compete in women's sport, thinks women can have a penis. Other than that he's fine. Vote Green. Get weirdo."

My inner geek wanted to know more, so I did some Googling.

These are new diesel-electric hybrid ferries with twin 500hp motors. Explains the rapid acceleration!

I guessed the speed at 20-25 knots.. it’s 23 knots, apparently 🙂

Fast, smooth… and bicycles travel free 👍🏻

Wow.

This “Waterbus” does not fuck around. It’s RAPID 😬
