I know statistics are poorly understood and are misused. But facts matter

Between the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them

Yes, yes I know I keep banging on about my fucking book! However, if you want one repost this and I’ll do a random winner pick thing by the end of the week because I’m great like that. ♥️📚

They're being fined £2.5m because they have an extractor fan. Sure, that sounds reasonable and proportional...

I'm guessing he chose to say Handsworth instead of Aston partly because of its history of riots, but mainly because it has a Labour MP whereas Aston's is independent.

The levels of petty in politics are unbelievable.

Hey @robertjenrickmp.bsky.social, if you think Handsworth's not white enough you should come to Lewisham. Even our buildings have afros.

Robert Jenrick accused of fuelling ‘toxic nationalism’ with Birmingham claims Shadow justice secretary stands by comments made in March amid criticism including from a Tory colleague

THE RACIST PRICK WASN'T EVEN IN HANDSWORTH!!!

Presumably all Birmingham constituencies look the same to him 🤷‍♀️

Uefa allowing domestic games abroad is a sad turning point, ending soccer as we’ve known it | Leander Schaerlaeckens The change may seem small, but the profit-seeking games are clearly the first step in a mass reorientation of the club game

The irony of this being written by someone who calls it soccer is not lost on me.

I searched bluesky for Chicago and... look, I'm British, I don't know a lot about American cities, but... is Chicago... sexy?

I think it might be you know. It might just be the sexiest city in the US.

Fuck congress, fuck the administration, Chicago politicians and citizens are getting it done ✊️

I'm in love 😍

THIS is what a politician should be!!

Side note, if Handsworth is the closest you've come to a slum in this country, you need to get out more. Jesus, just have a wander round London, you'll soon see you're wrong.

He then followed it up by saying "it's not about race."

If it's not about race, why do you insist on bringing it up? Handsworth, Dagenham, all of them you talk about the lack of white people then say it's not about race. It's almost like you're a liar...

That's why I'm vegetarian! I wanted to try it when I was 13, heard my mum and my brother talking about how it was just a phase I was going through, so I swore I'd never eat meat again. Nearly 30 years later, spite wins.

And maybe ending this week. But right now, it's a definite thing.

Spurs sit atop the combined Prem/WSL with 26 points across both competitions (City 2nd, Chelsea third). 👊

Who says that's not a thing? 😂

It's a pretty good time to be a Spurs fan 😍

Yeah, but you only get to be on Taskmaster if you did the things in your 20s that were advised in the previous version of this skeet.

Push your bodies. The things you can't be arsed to do in your 30s are the things you physically can't do in your 40s.

All of the videos of ICE officers are so weird, they look like people who've been given state backing to make citizen's arrests but no training.

What I love about this is that it's 100% non-violent intervention. They could have pushed the guys off and let him leg it, but they made them let go.

ANYONE WHO HAS EVER PUBLISHED A BOOK! You could be owed money from the Anthropic Class Action (c $3k per book) if its in the database. None of mine are, but some people I know are!

Unless things have changed lots in the last 15-20 years, tidal is a form of hydroelectric, but it's not been researched and invested in as much as others.

Renewable research tends to be cross border, and most leading countries don't have as much shoreline as us so it's not efficient to prioritise.

This is truly incredible work. Top drawer.

The scene from Insidious where the demon is standing behind the dad, except this time the demon is a smiling Mr Tumble.

Mr Tumble in famous horror movies: a thread.

Re Tel & Od, it's a weird arrangement for them. They need to be getting game time now so they can develop into players who can then challenge for game time...

I feel for Brennan, he's sort of stuck between the forwards who need extra support and the forwards who are first on the team sheet.

Ahem. That was meant to say bad *losers*, but it's amused me so I'm not deleting it.

Cor, Leeds fans are bad lovers aren't they! What's all that "cheat" chanting about? It was never a pen at the end.

Aw, let Archie have a runout in front of all his family! C'mon Tommy, don't be a spoilsport...

I want the pilots to come out and take a bow *while* they're landing. Really add a level of drama to proceedings.

I'm always disappointed that the staff don't clap when I arrive at the corner shop. I had to walk down 3 flights of stairs to get there, I want that appreciated.
