I'm normally ok with Neville on comms. (To long suffering don Goodman's) But these two are insufferable today. #skytvisfuckingshit #lufc

Cometh the autumn, cometh the slow cooker recipes. Today, Ropa vieja. Staple of Cuban cuisine All beef, black beans, cumin, rice, a hearty meal. It's not the most sophisticated, but it's hearty and a good way to end the day

This country. This government. Happy to persecute a minority That's not a progressive labour party That's small minded, bigoted kowtowing to the basest parts of our press Trans women no longer to be placed on female-only wards under new NHS England guidance www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Aaron Swartz was hounded and persecuted by overzealous prosecutors for a mass JSTOR download until he committed suicide. Sam Altman says that he deserves to violate copyright law in perpetuity because otherwise he can't make a fortune from a large language model. We are in the wrong timeline.

My son in a car: I'm bored, can I borrow your phone My son on a bike: I got this, let's race, look no hands Yes I'll mind the car, find a safe place to stop My son always (mostly always) wants to ride a bike Bikes are just better for kids and parents alike

Our Pippin. The one who sits on me whilst I sleep and when I'm watching TV She's a bit of an ASBO granny cat who doesn't give a💩. But you wouldn't know to look at her #photography #carurday

I'm glad I don't feel compelled to watch this match #cov Vs #new The shirt clashes are messing around with my colour blind eyes And it's shite And lampard And new Jessie red bull #lufc

How about #mancity owners pay the league £200m per year and they can have a 0.5 goal head start in each of the games Wait, they only want the thin veneer of a level playing field? Why don't they just own it? They want to pump £100m's to have an unfair advantage, What's the difference?

#lufc played well for most part. If I was to be ultra critical (and sometimes this is a strength) but we do sometimes suffer from inertia, lacking that ability to quickly pivot and change the flow of a game. But, it's arsenal. And we played well, so enjoy the rest of your weekends

NEW: Kemi Badenoch’s flagship party conference policy document, The Right Way, overestimated the cost of net zero by nearly £500bn, seemingly after someone accidentally double-counted figures on a spreadsheet. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

A new era for Jaguar has officially arrived and it begins with this recently revealed Type 01 production model.

So #Ai replaces creative industries Reduces need for software developers Automated warehouses Autonomously drives cars and delivers food Even kills people for the military So no-one has any income cos there's no jobs Who's spending the money the tech bros need now or paying taxes they can leech

If you're a haulage company not planning to migrate to electric If you're a country not actively facilitating the transition of lorries to electric You're doing it wrong You'll find out later when others have You'll be playing catch-up, (if you're lucky enough to still be relevant)

In Asia, heavy duty #electrictrucks are taking over. In Australia, they convert diesel trucks to electric at mid-life overhaul. Time for Canada to move forward past dirty diesel! #cdnpoli #bcpoli

#itvx Why? Why do you insist on showing the live sports feed of a football game in the app? Maybe I want to come in and watch the game"as live" Maybe I don't need the pundits telling me "another win for England"before I get a chance to watch from the start

A story of our time: Approval of biggest coal project in NSW planning commission’s history described as ‘infamous betrayal’. Independent Planning Commission says climate change impacts from Hunter Valley project will be ‘outweighed’ by economic benefits.

As always, the rich and powerful get richer through heaping externalities onto the poor. But we "cannot afford"adaptation funding. By failing to act we are healing costs into those who didn't cause this mess. #climatejustice

“A poor country suffers a disaster substantially aggravated by a warming planet, loses infrastructure built over decades, then borrows money to rebuild it. The result is a rather ingenious international arrangement in which vulnerability can be converted into debt.”

Ash Sarkar, "Every time we've had these squeezes on welfare recipients, what we've actually seen, rather than dealing with issues like long-term unemployment, is an increase in child poverty, and in-work poverty as well"

Couldn't agree more with this @ealingcouncil.bsky.social Declare these types of things, make a big thing of it Row back on commitments when faced with the slightest pushback Oh and let's just fast track a data centre for reasons

Brent Toderian@brenttoderian.bsky.social

What if every city that declared a #ClimateEmergency actually acted like it’s an emergency? What if every city that committed to #VisionZero actually acted like they meant it, prioritizing human lives in decision-making? What if every city’s budget actually reflect their approved plans & visions?

Cllr Clare Welsby, councillor for Hanwell Broadway, joined We Grow volunteers from UWL at Mahaba Café in West Ealing to thank them for their work. Providing free flowers for residents to plant is a simple but effective way to brighten our neighbourhoods and strengthen community pride.

Apologies for use of AI, but this, for me it's easier to process (graphic designers not heard of colour blindness) But as others as said. Celebrate what has been done, sure. But the coverage in our London (where a lot of people live) is lamentable Ealing council (labour) for example is piss-poor

Cycling is a fantastic way to get around London, especially now that we've grown our Cycleways network five-fold. To celebrate Car Free Day, TfL is making it even cheaper and easier for more Londoners to explore our city by bike with this new Santander Cycles offer. bit.ly/4y9byF5

We’re:
— Redesigning our most dangerous streets. 
— Regulating delivery apps. 
— Lowering speed limits where children play.
— Upgrading 1,000 intersections every year. 
— Cracking down on dangerous drivers and super speeders. 
— Improving our street lights.
— Building safe, beautiful public spaces.

Not all cyclists are the same, we just sometimes use a similar mode of transport for some journeys Some cyclists can behave stupid & reckless at times But The same for car drivers. Some of them are idiots, dangerous and careless I don't expect drivers to have to defend the concept of car driving

"I told him that if "free Palestine"was more offensive than the 10,000's of men women and children being killed then there was a fundamental disconnect 💯% this

New: Macklemore says Robert Kraft — who owns Gillette Stadium, where Macklemore & Ed Sheeran were to perform later this month — called Sheeran. Kraft rallied other owners together behind an ultimatum for Sheeran: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you won't be allowed in our venues.
