A quick first step to impose a personal tariff on US companies: Switch away from using Google as your phone’s search engine. Boycott US products where possible and let’s show them what isolation will be like. Settings > Apps > Safari > Search engine > Ecosia

Are we sure that @jamesblunt.com’s first name isn’t actually Anthony? Excellent work by him again for the opposition again. #CelebrityTraitors

About to watch the second half of #dcfc away. Might need to move on to vodka.

Be awesome, just like Margaret Hamilton. Rest in Peace.

Thank you @katie0martin.ft.com and @robarmstrong.bsky.social I made the mistake of listening to the end of the most recent Unhedged podcast and now “charts on the radio” is singing in my ears for the rest of the day.

Reform really don’t like scrutiny. All the more reason to closely monitor what they’re up to.

Cars have killed somewhere in the region of 80 million people since invention, but somehow people still manage to get more annoyed with cyclists.

Hmmm. How’s this going?

"I want your children's lungs to be smaller and less functional" is a bold electoral strategy.

So apparently another internet company can tell your provider that you’re leaving when you’re not. And when you phone your provider and they stop this, the first company can overwrite this and get you cut off anyway. And then you’re on hold endlessly and waiting for your internet to be restored.

Cycling in Victoria is glorious. Lots of protected bike lanes and trails, and then a free Bike Valet downtown. Cc @brenttoderian.bsky.social

I respect France's commitment to not working on a holiday.

Not sure my scheduled turbo session will happen this morning.

Never before has a politician announced their intention to run for re-election on an explicitly pro-sleaze, anti-transparency ticket. Never before has a politician gloried in having enriched themselves by breaking the rules, and then demanded a mandate to continue doing so indefinitely

This is an absolute scandal. Student loans should be replaced by something far closer to what was believed to be sold, with reductions in the loan based on a fair view of the repayments made.

Reminder that S4C are showing this, available on iPlayer.

Who the fuck rounds up nuns for imprisonment, exile or exportation? Oh yeah, that's right, fucking nazi's.

And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife And you may ask yourself, "Well, how did I get here?"

Disagree with lots of this, including the central argument, but it's very thoughtful. The best single idea in it is this: "Any platform that uses an algorithm more complex than ‘people you follow in chronological order’ to be treated as a publisher, and held to account for content."

🔴 SCOOP: Farage doesn't seem to want to answer questions about his money. So I went looking - and found that the Reform leader's personal company is in breach of UK company law democracyforsale.substack.com/p/revealed-n...

If Muslims or members of the Asian and Black community had set fire to white people’s homes with children running for their lives, do you think we would be discussing legitimate concerns or focussing on who radicalised them and ideological and contributing cultural factors?

I do wish the University of Derby would stop advertising at Loughborough station. It’s extremely panicking for people travelling in a lovely beer stupor from London.

Of course this hack went in to the Torygraph’s London office to file this opinion piece.

So there are crazy headlines, and then there are "I'm sorry WTAF now?" headlines...😳 Yes, the Telegraph have deduced that Ed Miliband hates mothers because of some new legislation making tumble dryers more efficient and cheaper to run! 🧵 1/24

Yes @helenrumbelow.bsky.social, that’s the point. If you want to drive fast and risk death (ideally your own, not pedestrians’) then go to a track day. 20 zones are there because drivers continue to ignore the impact of their selfish behaviour on others. Maybe switch to cycling for a while, Helen.

Good. It always seemed remarkably convenient how this excuse was simply accepted by the Met.

Hey JD Vance Please could you come over here and loudly campaign for Farage?

And that is why it’s called Good Friday. I’ve felt ropey all day, Saints were three scores down and get four tries in the last 10 minutes against the pies. Woohoo!

Now this does seem steep for building a bike path. But the reporting is hilarious. Stress from a 10 minute driving detour. Counting to 11 on one hand. It is, of course, not being funded by the council despite the misleading headline.

How much are Reform’s backers paying her and Starmer to turn all their voters against Labour?

Listening to the 15 minute cities episode by the wonderful @originstorypodcast.bsky.social podcast. Among all the accusations of incompetence aimed at Labour, I had forgotten the days where government ministers would parrot conspiracy theory as fact. The Tories truly destroyed anything good.

No doubt the MAGA bunch will soon be complaining that the rest of the world doesn’t buy their crappy pollution cars. Big decision to strangle US progress in 21st century technology. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Who’s the super bowl halftime performer? *wrong answers only*

I guess if I ran the transport for one of the few EU countries without a rail link to the airport from the capital; without decent cycle or walking infrastructure, in a car clogged pollution nightmare, this is the kind of badly researched ill-informed nonsense I’d be expected to produce.

15 minute cities. No conspiracy, just nice to have things nearby.

Temu Lord HawHaw doing down our country again.

Got up from the UK to watch the Seahawks. What is it with this need for a national anthem and worship of the military before a match? Not a great look after an illegal invasion. Just kick the game off, FFS.

What an incredible shame.

I’m old enough to remember when the US published a security doctrine that claimed the EU didn’t have freedom of expression.

This is seriously worrying - do read the whole thread

Once again, bike lanes are good for business

Sorry, my fault. Walked back into the room from getting my son to bed just to see that goal. #dcfc #dcfcfans

🚨WOW! The Petition calling for a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics & democracy has now rocketed past 47,000 signatures! Let’s get it to 50,000 tonight. If a petition is what it’s going to take let’s get this done! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...
