Help Nikki out if you can. I'm in Canary Wharf tomorrow which doesn't feel like the best location for kindness, beauty or wonder, but you never know!
If you are going to be out and about in London between now and Wednesday, and you want to hunt down kindness, beauty and wonder would you please consider joining me in a tiny experiment? More detail in the image below, survey link is here: form.jotform.com/260223076797...

There is a man on the train chewing a bagel so wetly, it sounds like rain sluicing down my neighbour's drainpipe in a downpour.

I think @sarahjeong.bsky.social said it's because they devalue women's labor and a LOT of this Scary Logistics stuff comes from people who don't understand that basically all of the civic life they enjoy is created with the help of free labor, largely by women.

I mostly just stay off Twitter altogether but after double checking that the Walter Hudson post was still up I ran across this and just had to share so the Romancelandians who bought hand warmers could hear about the PROFESSIONAL GRADE LOGISTICS.

Interesting hypothesis about the fate of both TikTok and Oracle in this thread:
It is important to know that despite its prominence TikTok loses billions of dollars and tweaking algorithms lays havoc to your ad sales. Oracle is gonna destroy this thing and it’s going to combine with the data center debt and consume it whole

This investigation is fascinating and enraging, and exactly why I pay for a subscription to London Centric.
This is one of the strangest and most screwed-up stories I’ve worked on. www.londoncentric.media/p/tiktok-lon...
Who's secretly filming fake TikToks inside Londoners' homes?
We tracked down the viral video account invading people's houses to spread false claims about immigrants.
