Just bought sky sports on @virginmedia so son can watch F1 this weekend as present for GCSEs. And it will take 7-10 days to actually get it. In this day and age? And why didn't they say that before they took my money?!? Feel conned.

It seems people are moving to threads right now. Bluesky and mastodon both seem to have better interfaces. So, why threads? My timeline there is populated by posts from people (media companies?) I never followed. I guess they're adverts?

It is shocking, heartbreaking, and an alarm for other political prisoners who are at risk of execution: Reza Rasai, one of the brave protesters who took to the streets after the brutal killing of Mahsa Amini, was executed today. Like Mahsa, Reza was Kurdish and hailed from the

So some people in the UK are rioting, stealing, being Islamaphobic, racist & anti migrant. It'll be interesting to see if the law comes down on them as it did on Black youth in 2011. But whilst we wince at the development & contemplate what it means for Black & Brown people

More evidence that the #AMOC ocean current may collapse in a few decades, leaving UK as cold as frozen Labrador in northern Canada. Agricultural output would plummet = starvation. Emergency action could save us. This should be top of the news & given urgent parliamentary time.
“Here we provide statistical significance and data-driven estimators for the time of tipping. We estimate a collapse of the AMOC to occur around mid-century under the current scenario of future emissions.”

What did we say about #Tombaker trending. We need an immediate second trend of #TomBakerisalive so we don’t panic and assume the worst.

Drivers: "Fix these potholes!" Also drivers: "My car journey should have taken half an hour but took an hour because of all the roadworks." Also drivers: "I love my 3-ton SUV and, like millions of others, drive it 200 metres to the shops. I wonder what causes potholes....?"

It appears pavement parking can be stopped in Cambridge. Indeed it has been in some areas already! Can we adopt this strategy elsewhere? Really bugs me to see parents with buggies scrambling onto road to get around a car, and worse for people with limited mobility.
@Murielschild @anthonypainter With that signage in place, which we did via a TRO 2014 onwards, it is always enforceable. No need for double yellows or police. Parking on either verge and/or pavement is always ticketable ( made up that word)

This is Douglas Adams' macintosh. We have it on display, complete with towel. And we all know that a towel is "the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have". So come see our towel today (open 10am-5pm). #Cambridge

Caroline Lucas, "Someone has to call out the fact that one of the reasons we are much poorer now is because of Brexit" "Let's put that on the table and talk about what we're going to do about it. Instead of this conspiracy of silence"
