If you’re in Leicester tonight, pop into the Tonne pub for 8:30pm and try out your terrible opinions

Between this and the French biathlete who nicked her teammate’s credit card, there’s something up with people who want to ski with a gun

But how many skis? One on each foot or two long ones, one on each side?

Or you just have to carry a pony round with you on your back

Oh yes. Quick take off your skis and put on this top hat and grab a horse

The biathlon being skiing plus shooting is pretty out here, but there have to be even better second sports to combine.

Skiing + Rock Climbing
Skiing + F1
Skiing + Trampoline

The sound system in the skating arena is bloody awful. I’d rather hear drone rotors tbh

No - it’s not your fault at all. They chose to sell it at that price point but making a stabby thing isn’t acceptable. Take it back and complain like shit

Sorry. Rant over - not ranting at you, but at this general enshittification of stuff.

And we all blame ourselves for our lack of consumer savvy

Also when they stop you’d have to actively lean back/brake to stop you from flattening them into goo.

I don’t think they’ve thought this through

If you are putting all that energy into hovering, how come you need to be pulled along? Surely you just tweak the anti-gravity a bit?

I quite like the “tap on passenger window and watch them jump a mile AND drop their phone” but you have to plan your exit as it’s often followed by wild acceleration without much control (or care)

This morning saw a car sit at a green light for 15s before moving off because they were in their phone. Nobody behind honked at them because they too were on their phones.

The view is good despite the weather. St Paul’s dome just peaking out there. Obscured a bit because the protected viewing corridor is from the west of here on Parliament Hill.

Sitting in hospital waiting area waiting for @pollollups.bsky.social to be visitable after an op she’s been waiting ages for. She worked on the design for this space and all the planting I can see out the window. So all is good.

Someone has discovered the furry blanket. Not sure I can explain the thousand yard stare though.

Hate-filled fake videos about London are everywhere. We've obtained a recording of a TikToker confessing to secretly filming Londoners in their homes for clicks.

He says it's not political. He just wants to make money from far-right anger.

The defining sound of these Olympics is definitely the whine of drone rotors. Getting some amazing shots, but must be really intrusive
