Only yesterday I was showing LondonCentric to someone as an example of why the future of the media isn't all bleak. This really is great stuff, week in, week out.

Trump isn't a Russian agent. He's an attention seeking fool. And the amount of resources being taken up worldwide managing him is obscene.

It's a measure of how much the Evening Standard gave up on proper reporting that, until the advent of @thelondoner.bsky.social and @londoncentric.media, I had never heard of Asif Aziz, let alone begun to understand what a baleful influence he is on the capital.

Exclusive: The billionaire developer closing London's pubs
Companies linked to Asif Aziz have been buying up and shutting down some of the capital’s most beloved boozers. Now, we’ve mapped them.

60 seconds reflection on how much riding my bike means to me, how grateful I am for the health to continue to ride and how much I’ll with luck continue to in 2025. Thank you to all those who contribute to bike culture in any way shape or form. There is always a new path 🚲❤️ .

By this logic I should stop paying tax as my contribution won't make a difference to the national debt, and I'm sure that as future generations pay more tax to service the interest on the huge national debt, they won't mind that I didn't do my part
because we all know that UK emissions are too small on their own to make that difference. Look to the US, China, India, Russia etc.
It is that it can cost more to put off what you have to do endlessly. If 'twere done, 'tis best done quickly has to be the logic. And that has to be nuanced ...
