The plane should have taken off 5 minutes ago, I have a connection at Belfast, and we haven't boarded yet. There's been no updates or announcements.

Not improving my opinion of @ryanairofficial.bsky.social, I have to say.

This is grim & dangerous over reach.

This is a government that have lost the moral argument & are still selling arms to Israel. Now further cracking down on dissent.

Absolutely the opposite of what they should be doing - so of course this is what the Labour Government choose.

NEW: Home Office announces planned new anti-protest powers, mainly aimed at pro-Gaza protests like those for Palestine Action. Police will be able to consider the "cumulative impact" of repeated protests and potentially order that they be relocated.

I was pushing for zebra crossings at the park entrances, last week at the @merchistoncc.bsky.social meeting. Just as important, I think!

Good news for Ashley Terrace, though. Hope it all goes off without a hitch!

Another highlight from #PyConUK!

Katie Bickford gives a junior's perspective on doing difficult things. Contains advice for both junior developers *and* (importantly) the senior developers working with them! This is a topic that doesn't normally get enough airtime.

My friend @martiell.bsky.social wanted a picture of an angry porg, so he typed "cross porg" into ChatGPT ...

An AI generated painting of a porg, the cute animal from Star wars, being crucified, in the style of a Russian icon.

@uze.bsky.social is being sarcastic.

Anyway, yesterday I did 5 reps of talking about CrossFit, which is a PB.
