So glad to hear people were keen on my supermarket visiting! I will be posting video review on TikTok and Instagram (ten at a time – @emilytakesthebus), but I am also going to create a thread of reviews here!

So we just accept this then? This is a legitimate use of technology going forward? This vile individual's account is just prompt after prompt asking Al to alter real-life images of women. The law needs to catch up with technology now - because we can't trust these tech companies to police themselves

Every day I get more and more livid with the narrative around London. I work with tourists, and they're taking ubers from destination to destination and have their phones strapped to their bodies. I LOVE this city and can count on one hand times I've felt unsafe here. I'm so tired of the bullshit.

Happy home-office-assigned birthday to all refugees who were disbelieved about their date of birth and un-safeguarded as one of the many experiences of state-sponsored xenophobic cruelty that is the asylum system in the U.K.

Found the actual men in women's bathrooms assaulting women.
ICE agents illegally break into a woman's bathroom in a NY nutrition bar manufacturing plant. "Pull up your pants," says a male agent. The agents only had a warrant to review employer documents. They didn't have a warrant to search for, detain, or arrest anyone there.

People shouldn't send long voicenotes? Fuck that. I want to listen to your whole story. What I HATE is having to interrupt my podcast for a 10-second voicenote that the person could have easily typed.
But 15 minutes I can listen to while walking? More of that!!

Britons now send an average of 58 hours’ worth of these messages a year. But what about the recipients who are experiencing ‘voice note fatigue’?

One of the biggest drivers of high housing costs is that a small, highly motivated group of incumbent homeowners block new housing in their neighborhoods and almost no one is organized to push back.
Young people bear the brunt of that imbalance.

What are abstract ideas like “being happy” and “having fulfillment” compared to real world achievements like “working full time for a company and still needing food stamps”
While work-life balance may give you a sense of happiness and fulfillment, it isn’t always realistic, says Walmart executive vice president and chief people officer Donna Morris.
Walmart exec: ‘I’ve never believed in the term work-life balance’—this is the mantra that made her highly successful instead
Many professionals see work-life balance as a non-negotiable. Walmart CPO Donna Morris says people should practice work-life integration instead. Here's why.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Always fascinating watching people underestimate the size of London vs other UK ciries.
On an average weekday, more journeys are made on JUST the Elizabeth line than the ENTIRE population of Liverpool.
If the Tube was a city, its average daily passengers would make it the 2nd largest in the UK.

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

Labour MP spreading the blatant lie that that asylum seekers are being treated to pleasurable hotel stays, rather than the reality which is that they're converted to functional, cramped dormitories. Of course they haven't paid. They aren't even allowed to work.
