Spent part of today at Kidderminster's carpet museum - first time I've visited despite it opening in 2012. Surprised at just how good it was. Brilliantly done. Hopefully it can avoid closure

Given the toxicity of social media, a moral question now faces all of us: is it still ethical to use it? | Frances Ryan With so many platforms rife with racism, misogyny and far-right rhetoric, there must be a point where decent people walk away, says Guardian columnist Frances Ryan

@bsky.app 🧪🌎 Interesting and hopefully these findings will be shared more widely. (The X Twitter dilemma!)

ef.org/analysis-chinas-co2-emissions-have-now-been-flat-or-falling-for-21-months/. In case you missed it. China is responsible for around 35% of global carbon emissions, so this is good news. Not hitting their own targets but at least not gleefully planning to increase emissions like U.S.A 🧪🌎 #China

Not in my areas of expertise but looks useful. 🇯🇪 #jerseyci #channelislands #retail

“In this time of court delays, overuse of remand and miserable prison conditions, it seems petty and vindictive to order the removal of artwork that might offer a source of hope in court custody suites.”

This couldn’t be clearer. Bannon’s texts to Epstein in mid July 2018 - “overthrowing May right now” and in “London with Boris” as well as his appearance on LBC with Nigel Farage are prettying damning evidence of a cross party plot with foreign backing

You know what they’re going to store in those warehouses?

Interesting statement of support though, in that Eluned Morgan linked her support albeit diplomatically to increased devolution and improved financial settlement etc. matters on which Westminster Labour has been dragging its feet. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 #cymru #wales

Jimmy Lai’s imprisonment and persecution at the hands of the Chinese Communist Party is an outrage.

The Prime Minister should summon the Chinese Ambassador today, and demand Jimmy Lai's immediate release and the quashing of this trumped-up sentence.

UK expands Hong Kong visa scheme in wake of Jimmy Lai’s prison sentence Exclusive: Home Office ruling means thousands more Hongkongers will be eligible to come to the UK over next five years

Young Hong Kongers can come to Britain independently of parents who held British Natiomal Overseas passports. The government is maintaining a 5 year settlement route for Hong Kongers (in contrast to many others), who are one of the largest groups to arrive

Re-upping this for the Monday crowd... I think my favourite, most revealing detail is that the guy seems to not realise he's in trouble because London Centric's reporting didn't hit anything like his view counts, so therefore it can't really matter.

#jerseyci @alderneylit.bsky.social one day I hope!

I just don't understand why they think the Comms (and the policies) are going to attract / keep voters. Is it the inevitable consequence of the shift from political leadership (I promote what I believe and persuade others) to trying to reflect "public opinion"?

Rate bit of good news here for Labour.

States Assembly - Jersey’s elected parliament On this day in 1900, States Members voted to allow English to be used during debates. Up until then, French had not only been the official language, but also the only one allowed to be spoken....

@statesassembly.bsky.social no longer on Bluesky (shame and Shame!) but today marks the anniversary of the English language being permitted in States Assembly debates. www.facebook.com/100064354944....

I'll keep this for Jersey Royal season, a tasty looking variation on a familiar combo. Never steamed Royals before, usually boiled with or without mint from the garden, served with butter remainder fried following day including butter. Will give steaming a go this year.

This article gets to the heart of an important issue. The algorithms rewarding clicks regardless of the truth. Most of those viewing will have had their prejudices confirmed. #uk #fakenews #misinformation #migration # islamophobia 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 #socialmedia

UK productivity grew more in the last year than in the previous seven combined • Resolution Foundation Here’s some good news that might have passed you by.

The overlooked story of booming UK productivity?

The cows live out their natural lives. Male calves desexed and kept as part of the herd. Organic pasture so increased biodiversity. I buy their milk whenever I can. Much more expensive but the economics of being a compassionate farmer are tough.
