That London. Aspiring to be woke, since it annoys all the people who don’t know what it means. He/Him

Well, tories proving they are definitely NO LONGER the nasty party by rewarding vehemently anti-trans sharron davies with a life peerage. Hatred bags you the £400 a day Lords attendance allowance and a serious platform to spout ever more hate 🏳️‍⚧️

@livingstreets.bsky.social parliamentary event on Monday can be watched on the you tube. Way past time to get drivers out of pedestrian spaces @teamlabouruk.bsky.social
The footway parking ban in England consultation closed 5 years ago tomorrow. The Tories' inaction is now Labour's inaction.

Annual outing of the best badge. Remember, remember, the fifth of November… What a Guy!

Israeli government advertising snuck through on my you tube yesterday - encouraging me to do the Jerusalem marathon - in reporting it I saw what other adverts they were pumping out. So much violent disinformation sanctioned by google. Wonder who the really nasty stuff is being shown to

Passed through Darlington at the weekend. Loads of flags at half mast on lampposts for some reason. Has an important local died that I don’t know about? Only reason I can think of for such a display

Hi @livingstreets.bsky.social London E20, what was the Olympic Village, has lots of lovely wide pavements for pedestrians, making it easier for people with mobility issues, and space for kids to play separated from the road. Can you spot all 5 drivers who thought “I can drive on that!”?

@therealyplac.bsky.social Hi there - have you closed your shop? I ran out of stickers!

Managed to see all three of the new DLR trains being tested in London today. Quick chat with an engineer who said they’re performing very well so far. Looking very smart

Due to an error, I first voted when I was 17. I was informed and engaged. My parents didn’t vote in that election because it was the Europeans, and they thought it wasn’t relevant to anything (and no political party was telling them otherwise). Great move to open voting to 16/17yos #UKPolitics

You just know he’s left the typing sound on on his phone as well
Okay, I get it now, his plan is to spend the entire day posting obviously false statements on social media

Wheelchair user. The scourge of dickheads parking cars and vans across the pavement and completely blocking my way is getting worse. I'm completely helpless and am so frustrated, angry and upset by its impact on my daily life, I now carry a penknife in my chair to puncture tyres.

@phlaimeaux.bsky.social Obviously perked up at mention of summer tyres on the Stephen Roche bike on #WhatDidYouDoYesterday but without mentioning brand and relative rolling resistance?! (My focus is always flat-resistance for London/Essex roads 🙁) And how do the 30mm sit on historically narrow rims?

Why do men in power so often think it’s a great idea to just start killing people? If they tried it in a Wetherspoon’s on a Saturday night, they’d get arrested. As a president or prime minister though, other countries line up to sell them arms, and thousands line up to pull the trigger…

Dawn chorus day this morning in the Olympic Park wetlands, London

Been struggling to get my reading head on recently, but reckon this from @jasperfforde.bsky.social should sort it out

Just saw two pigeons having sex on my balcony. Male flew off straight after without so much as a by your leave. #TypicalMale

Annual St Patrick’s Day joke:

What did St Patrick say as he drove the snakes out of Ireland?

“Y’alright in the back there lads?”

Looks like Marks & Spencer is hiding all the @stopfundinghate.bsky.social related comments on their IWD instagram post or any mention of advertising on the ragingly misogynistic gbeebies channel. Wonder what gender their on duty social media person was. Overworked today.

Given how many Visit USA adverts I’m getting served, the algorithm has seriously misunderstood my current concerns
