Take a minute from shinning up a lamppost . . .

Government decides to spend big money on something and by the next morning the spend is covered in fungi.

Daily Mail journalist, Charles Hands, invented "Suffragette" intending to mock the Women's Social and Political Union in 1906.

Two thoughts always come to mind with stuff like this. 1. What style of parenting produces this outcome? 2. How many people are knocking about who appear good natured but just waiting for the opportunity to run amok?

Spotify stock graph showing a decrease of $28 in one day (Friday 10/24), the day after Spotify’s boycott became a trending topic on Bluesky. This is a roughly 5% decrease in value.

Y’all, Spotify’s stock price sunk by 5% in 1 day. YOU did this by spreading the word to boycott them for running ICE ads.

These billionaires only speak one language—money—so let’s keep up the pressure. Tell everyone you know to cancel their Spotify subscriptions. Send them to BoycottSpotify.com.

Piggybacking affordable house building on commercial development is deluded. People who buy expensive houses don't want to live near people who can't afford expensive houses. It devalues the expensive houses and developers have to place the affordable houses out of sight. Build communities,

I wish people would stop asking themselves why Keir Starmer is supporting this policy or that, as if there’s a knowledge gap, and that if he was properly informed then he’d do the right thing. He & his ministers have all of the facts you value at their fingertips. His decisions are not an accident.

Spotify is refusing to pull their ICE ads. If you haven't already, please consider boycotting them

Let's imagine he'd been cannibalising the local peasantry for years, do we think the police would investigate and justice prevail? Why did you hesitate?

We really need to hear their voices.

Boris Johnson in ermine.

If you needed another reason to reconsider using Spotify

Russia is a potential Walmart of raw materials.

Perhaps the PM could get the match replayed at Arsenal?

The report should have entered the policing system at the time and that this should have triggered a timely response rather than the belated review we seem to have now. The veracity is irrelevant.

Does this include embedded finance? US airlines said to be financial institutions which also fly planes.

I wonder whether we'll be able to organise and mobilise when King Nigel takes the throne?

And his police protection probably reported it to his police next level who reported it to the police level above that. So looking into something you are already inside of. This is why we periodically test alarm systems.

A little like waiting until the fire has a good hold of the downstairs and smoke fills the street before making a move.

The mobilisation of US citizenry is jaw-dopping.

How many businesses within 0.5 mile of HMRC Headquarters servicing those in your last paragraph?

I think Honest Bob's persona only really works where his account is that of a sole survivor, such as someone discovered below decks on a ghost ship.

Leaving a needy royal person at large was never going to add to the nation's security or wellbeing.

We had social housing in the same way we had building societies and state-owned assets. Where has all this value ended up? Not a migrant in sight. Never mind shinning up a lamppost. Eyes on that.

She also describes the brutality that followed in Israeli detention.Schnall says she was shackled by her wrists and ankles, beaten by multiple guards, and witnessed others stripped, assaulted, and threatened with rape.“We were not broken,” she says. “This ceasefire will not end systematic oppression and occupation. Prisons like Ktziot designated to torture Palestinians continue to exist. More than ever, we have to take to the streets. The siege will be broken.”🎥 Full report for Drop Site News by @noavi below.

This one had me in bits. But then I was a little tired and emotional. Zack Polanski recites Benjamin Zephaniah's poem "The British" while walking round Handsworth, Birmingham.
