We are at an airport restaurant. A robot just drove up to us with our food, said, "Hi! Here I am!" and then drove away with our food.

A drawing of three speed skaters (by me!)
One is wearing red and white with black accents and the caption "Guy who is either Canadian or Swiss or Austrian or Japanese or Polish or Danish"

One is wearing red white and blue and is labeled "Guy who is either American or Norwegian or French or Czech or Slovakian or Slovenian or British"

One is wearing neon orange and labeled Guy who is UNDENIABLY DUTCH

A reminder that if you live in England or Wales & were born between 1970-1990 – or even before 1970 – you can help protect your community by getting the MMR vaccine free from your NHS GP now. I did last year. www.nhs.uk/vaccinations...

Who should have the MMR vaccine

The MMR vaccine is recommended for adults and children born on or before 31 December 2019 who did not have the MMR vaccine when they were younger.

It's especially important to make sure you're vaccinated if:

you're a child, teenager or young adult
you could become pregnant
you're travelling to, or living in, a country where there is a higher risk of getting measles, mumps or rubella
you're a healthcare worker
you were born between 1970 and 1990 (as you may not have been vaccinated against all 3 infections)
Your GP surgery should be able to tell you which vaccinations you've already had.

If you were born before 1970 and have not had measles, mumps or rubella (german measles) or the vaccines that protect against these diseases, you can ask your GP surgery for the MMR vaccine.

To show the tone of the coverage, this story which is apparently about her leaving the NHS is almost entirely giving Sandie Peggie's side to the case with quotes from supporters, refers to Beth Upton solely by her surname and Sandie Peggie only by her first name www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottis...

MMR rates in Hackney (not far from the Enfield schools with the current outbreak) are at a shockingly low 60 per cent. It's seriously worrying

Shaun Lintern @shaunlintern.bsky.social · 1d

This matters because London has among the lowest vaccination rates for measles in England - there are many pockets of unvaccinated communities that could be at significant risk from a runaway outbreak:

Shaun Lintern @shaunlintern.bsky.social · 1d

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Health officials are racing to contain a growing measles outbreak in London, which has struck down dozens of young children and affected 7 schools and a nursery.

UKHSA has warned an outbreak across London could see 40,000 - 160,000 cases:

Everyone’s talking about Swarovski right now so let’s take a second and dive into the fact that they were NAZI Nazis. Like full-on Seig Heil, prosecuted after the war level Nazis and the modern company has done everything they can to hide all their archives and prevent anyone accessing them.

Members of the Swarovski family were early, active and enthusiastic champions of Nazism, and at least six of its members maintained membership in the illegal party prior to Austria's annexation to Nazi Germany on 12 March 1938.!23] Three weeks earlier, 500 marchers in the Tyrolean town of Wattens held a torchlight procession that ended with chants of "Sieg Heil" and "Heil Hitler". The majority of the participants, police determined, were Swarovski plant employees, among them Swarovski family heirs Alfred, Wilhelm and Friedrich. 124]

In 1994, historian Horst Schreiber wrote about Swarovski's past but was not granted access to company archives. (27]
The contemporary Swarovski company commissioned historian Dieter Stiefel as "a step towards dealing with our history in a serious and very pro-active manner," board spokesman Markus Langes-Swarovski said in
2018; however, the study was not published because, Langes-Swarovski said, "Swarovski is a company that generally tries to keep the owners' personal stories largely out of the public eye because it does nothing for the business." (28]

When will policymakers recognise that the digital information environment is impacting views of London in a way that can hit investment and tourism? This is one clip from several vignettes outlined in @jim.londoncentric.media’s latest newsletter
www.londoncentric.media/p/london-cri...

I was in Dubai at the end of last year, travelling for the F1 in Abu Dhabi and had a very odd experience with a taxi driver. I mentioned to him that I lived in London, and he immediately started talking about how dangerous it was and how I ought to be careful. He described how crime had been going up, how people were getting jewellery stolen off them in the street and that knives were everywhere.
The way he talked made him sound very familiar with the place so I assumed he had lived in or at least visited London recently. Only later did he say that he'd never been to London or the UK and that his entire impression was based on what he'd seen on social media and heard from other people in his cab.

Why do they so love to give the hint that the trains might conveniently line up at Stockwell and then as you, the first off the train on the other line and the fastest, approach the other, simply close the doors and leave without you?
Why?!?

The final item of this article feels like another early rumbling of something bigger – public services are getting swamped with AI-generated complaints and appeals, often citing fictitious legal precedents etc.

It’s already a serious headache and it’s only going to get worse.

London’s got a global viral video malaise www.londoncentric.media/p/london-cri...

Londoners are sick of viral videos telling lies about their city

Plus: Victoria Park battle over All Points East, the Hackney school war that wasn't, the AI-generated parking appeal mess, and wild swimming in the River Thames.
