I've just uploaded the finale concert of @harwichshantyfestival.co.uk 2025 to Youtube. The filming did not go as well as expected, and I made 3 physical intrusions onto the stage when 'none' was the preferable number!
The audience was just under 1000, so I was hardly visible!

So in return for giving Donnie a carefully stage-managed event, we're getting £100bn in investment from BlackRock, £3.9bn from Prologis and £1.5bn from Palantir (among others).

I'm somewhat amused that a certain VPN company has chosen now to launch a major advertising blitz across UK FB, trying to tempt users with 76% off and an Amazon gift card.

The wonders of Retch plc - as of yesterday, Birmingham Live had opened an entire category devoted to Ozzy Ozbourne, and stuffed it with dozens of articles. Anyone get the impression they're milking his death for all they're worth?!

What the UK’s decision on trans women got wrong.
Both 🇦🇺& 🇳🇿 law & the
scientific community recognises that sex is a spectrum.
The BMA have described the court’s decision as ‘scientifically illiterate’.
As a published researcher I agree.
