Flying to Minneapolis tomorrow to cover the ICE raids for News Agents, what is unfolding and the politics which flows from it. If you’re there or know the city and know people/organisations we should be speaking to, please get in touch.
DMs open.

AI is a reeealllly good match for late night coding 😁

Utter game changer and my other coder friends don’t get as many “you up? I’m stuck” messages.

Lovely common sense road rules ad from Wokingham Borough Council.

I propose the only way of getting through *all this* for the foreseeable is to Bring Back Morning Tea Break.

I declare 11am to be time for A Nice Cup of Tea and a Sit Down. And maybe a chat. About the weather.

Hell yes to this.

Is there nothing that could be done in the meantime? A sort of “please disable this feature until we’ve checked up on it”. Does seem quite daft that it can keep producing 1000’s of new pics a day with no way to at least pause it.

I wish the media and government would make people more of this sort of stuff (and research/stop it too). Too many people seem to like taking what the right accounts say at face value which destroys truth and the country bit by bit 😕 also what an enemy would want

A network of social media accounts posing as Scottish independence supporters has fallen silent once again, closely mirroring a fresh shutdown of internet access inside Iran.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social wrote about a 1945 US leaflet on how to spot fascism in America.

I thought it might be worth screenshotting the relevant bit.

ALL of the these warnings have come to pass in the past year. 1/2

Spent the afternoon nursing this thing back to health. Blocked drain pump and the leaking drain hose and then kinked inlet hose! It’s as if it’s wanting me to buy a new one! Half way through a cycle now and it’s looking good. I do enjoy the logic puzzle keeping these things alive

To be clear I’m not just asking for more WW2 history to be taught but all the critical thinking around how to spot facists, their methods, the situations that lead to their rise and how to tackle them in the here and now. Some of this occurs but not enough for the modern age I fear.

But I don’t think any of these are on most Reform voters watch lists are they? Nor are they ever likely to be. Nor would showing them on Channel 4 at 11pm on a Tuesday likely to get them to chance upon them.

For me all this starts in better education in schools and should have started years ago

If it cheers you up any while putting the Christmas decorations away in the attic this year I found my old D&D books. Brought them down and passed them onto my 14yo son (who thanks to Stranger Things has lots of friends who now want to play it). Had a little tear in my eye I won’t lie. 😁

I want some one to ask him about Greenlands rights if sovereignty when MAGA is threatening to just take it over. Where’s his Brexit nonsense now?

Take five minutes to watch this video by the always excellent Prof. Pagel @chrischirp.bsky.social to understand under-the-radar authoritarian actions that you may have missed in these last few weeks.
While all the attention is on Trump's actions in Venezuela right now, here are some stories you might have missed over the holiday period told in 5 minutes.

Austerity killed it. The funding for the food and drink festivals, festival of lights etc. really used to help it box above its weight but now sadly it’s just a bit shit which has knock on effects. Surrounding villages have had a boost though, more bars and cafes as a result

Oh that’s been going on years and it’s still got years to go. In the meantime the town centre is dead. Sigh.
