The reality of politics, 🙏 Engender for all you do to highlight the issues & create change!
It isn’t ok. We need change. We must fix the system.

Who else does the rowing and photography and cracks up with you consistently? I’m just getting to the stage that my friends kids are old enough for them to ditch the offspring and to come have adventures with me again.

This is the funniest thing about AI to me:
AI companies are now worried about GenAI content getting into their training sets and degrading their builds - such a beautiful tacit admission that GenAI output is inferior.

3 am alarm to get to Stansted. Land in Bologna and have to do customs, get a checked bag, go back through security, make it to gate w 12 min to spare and get on bus back to plane and it’s the same plane that I took from Stansted. Could have had a wee and just been chilling.

Not a problem to ask. My Smalls is from Malta and the breeder is where most of the cavs we know came from, and both parents health tested. I am breeding him responsibly to make sure that there are healthy pups and not from puppy farms. They are only just old enough to open eyes, nowhere near ready

Tomorrow the High Court will rule on whether the legal challenge to the Home Sec Yvette Cooper’s ban on Palestine Action can proceed to a full hearing
Lawyers for Cooper argued a judicial review would be wrong as the Terrorism Act has a process to apply for de-proscription (which could take years).

Screenshot from Pippa Crerar on X: “Khan spox: “Sadiq is delighted that President Trump wants to come to the greatest city in the world.
“He’d see how our diversity makes us stronger not weaker; richer, not poorer.
"Perhaps these are the reasons why a record number of Americans have applied for British citizenship under his Presidency.””

A Second Tea Breach Reveals Users’ DMs About Abortions and Cheating
The more than one million messages obtained by 404 Media are as recent as last week, discuss incredibly sensitive topics, and make it trivial to unmask some anonymous Tea users.
NEW: a second breach at women's dating safety app Tea has exposed more than one million direct messages. The DMs includes discussions of abortions, cheating, etc. Hard to overstate how sensitive this data is, and it can be used to unmask anonymous Tea users. www.404media.co/a-second-tea...

Camden has been without a bookstore since Waterstone’s became TKMaxx. An independent bookstore has just opened on Chalk Farm Road opposite the Stables Market- and this little ray of sunshine has given me hope.

Two in five arrested for last summer’s UK riots had been reported for domestic abuse
Police data indicates overlaps between public violent disorder and domestic violence and abuse
In "Legitimate Concerns" news.
41% of the 899 arrested for taking part in Farage Riots last year had been reported for crimes associated with intimate partner violence.
For those arrested by one police force, this figure was 68%.
