Chatting with @graveyarddandelion.bsky.social about regional terms of endearment in the UK. What is your favourite? What do people use in your region? I grew up mostly with 'duck' and 'love' in Staffordshire.
β6 years ago this week..the WHOβ¦declared the global outbreak of COVID-19 a pandemicβ¦ [It] has been deliberately erased from public consciousness by the political establishment, even as the virus continues to spread, disable and kill on a mass scale.β
Today I want to tell you about my favorite sandwich, where to get it, and some other very important information you might not have heard before.
The reason the media are going after Zack Polanski:
His opposition to Israel's genocide & Iran war
The media is not your friend
NEWS: The Trump administration confirmed it bombed a girlβs school in Iran.
It's one of the most devastating military errors in decades.
Trump lied about it. Pete Hegseth gutted the office preventing civilian casualties.
175 are dead. Most were kids. Hegseth should be fired.
Daily Mail Headline: Pupils' drawings could be blasphemous under Islamic law, Labour councils tell schools - while music and dance classes may go against the teachings of Islam
Oh boy! What a headline...
Ask yourself:
"What am I being asked to believe?"
"Who am I being told to blame?"
Take a few seconds to imagine what the Daily Mail (And Telegraph, GB News and Express) WANT you to think is going on.
Let's see what's ACTUALLY happening...π§΅

We're thrilled to release the #LongCovid Treatment Guide! This is a collaboration with @rthm.bsky.social to help patients & providers explore treatment options together.
The guide focuses on 24 medications, but includes a few other interventions for breadth /1
BREAKING: Grammarly is pulling down its explosively controversial feature that impersonates writers without their consent

We've won the UK's first ever SLAPP suit - acting for @danneidle.bsky.social - and made some really important law protecting the right to call out barristers whose misconduct facilitates aggressive tax avoidance.
Canβt quite believe that journalists are having to report this latest visceral spasm of rightwing idiocy. How feeble-minded our politics have become for the leader of the opposition - and Farage of course - to feel they have to turn this utter non-event into a culture war moment. Dear god.
WALLACE: Why are we at war with Iran?
CHRIS MURPHY: Great question. The simplest explanation might be the one they gave 24 hours in that they've kind of tried to backtrack from since -- that Israel made us do it.
If you're normally a Eurovision fan but joining the boycott this year, I've put together a spreadsheet of all the national selection winners with links to their songs, so you can watch without giving money and views to the Eurovision YouTube channel:

I finally lost my shit about so-called AIs, LLMs, enshittification & everything fucking evil that @officialgrammarly.bsky.social is doing. I'm fucking furious, and not just about what 1 company has done. An open letter to Grammarly & the rest of the LLM hype machine www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...
Hands up if you've ever been sacked and received a 70K payout.
Where was Farageβs closest aide and Reform UK Welsh leader Nathan Gill heading when he was arrested for taking bribes from Putinβs pal Medvedchuk?
To a Kremlin sponsored conference in Moscow, to talk about the role of crypto currencies in politics
The warnings are there for us all to see
π¨π¨π¨π¨π¨ WAKE UP!!!! π¨π¨π¨π¨π¨
Donald Trump is a radical international terrorist and war criminal.
ARREST HIM NOW!!! π¨π¨π¨π¨π¨
People say Trump's climate policies are reckless, but he has done more to cut fossil fuel use than any other president in history
This very straight news piece buried deep within the FT never uses words like corruption or insider dealing but every detail is quietly devastating. Why is the FT virtually alone in the UK media in covering this important story?
BBC correspondent reporting live re Gaza says Israel used white phosphorus.
The broadcast is instantly cut.
Happening tomorrow @praxisprojects.bsky.social and the NRPF Coalition is bringing together organisations for a Mass Lobby event in London to tell MPs loud and clear that we will not sit back quietly while they push through harmful policies against migrants. π

You know the best way to kill AI? Don't use it. Don't buy it. Don't share it. Don't give the people who use it your labour or your money.
The Home Secretaryβs new βEarned Settlementβ plan could plunge 1 million migrants, people who our economy and NHS depend on, into poverty and uncertainty.
This cruel political posturing has to stop. Make your voice heard: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

FFS. He wets his pants about an EU army and British sovereignty one minute. But would sign our troops up to god knows what, the next.
Tice is a weapons-grade moron.
Pie chart and figures from National Grid: Live showing just over half of electricity at 10.05 am today coming from renewables (green bars). Coal (red bar) and gas (orange bar) make up almost a quarter.
National Grid: Live for yesterday shows between a quarter and a third of electricity overall yesterday came from renewables (greens). Nearly a half was generated from coal and gas (red and orange bars respectively)
It sure would. Feels like we have a long way to go - chart from a few minutes ago (sunny morning here) looks a lot better than yesterday's overall.
... and hungry/malnourished.
If we stopped this marginal pricing nonsense that we seem to continue to do for some reason, then our already very significant fraction of renewable grid capacity would be making a big difference to people in this country. But we haven't π€·.
