Been doing an audit of the kinds of clients I've been working with over the past few years, and couldn't help but notice that they're all fairly short (I reckon 5 ft 5" or less).

Couldn't figure out why - and then it dawned on me!!

I've been doing some work recently for an investigative environmental journalist platform - and I can't help but feel a little like detective Jack Frost.

(I even went through a phase of looking to buy a 2nd hand Volvo 240 Estate on eBay) 🙂

This is a good piece.

If you have a website that publishes content that might be deemed political - or could harm someone's reputation - you might want to check the Removals tab in Search Console to keep an eye out for 3rd party removal requests (see Outdated Content tab).

This is based on a very cool article I read...

Charlie Hebdo cover from a few days ago featuring Benjamin Netanyahu: "Honey I shrunk the kids" is the headline.

I saw this on Reddit (very briefly) on the frontpage yesterday - I do believe that finally some content acknowledging the genocide of Palestine is filtering through, very slowly.

I learned about a new variety of Avocado at the weekend called Avozilla... and I think finding and growing this variety will be my next lifelong mission 😎

Quite enjoyed this one 😊

Mildly interesting: one of the most viewed (and edited) pages on Wikipedia during June? 📅

Google have said they've since fixed this, and from my tests it seems to be correct. But it's bad that this bug existed and worked for so long (there is a record of someone reporting this to Google a few years ago with no action taken!).

Long story short - vulnerable sites have 'issues' with URL case-sensitivity - and due to this configuration, content could be removed due to a bug within Google's content removal tool (which is open to all members of the public)...

Recently there was a great article on how Google search had been exploited to censor certain content - this was covered by journalist Jack Poulson but also the Freedom of the Press Foundation.

I found an interesting cause/reason why this "bug" worked, which has since been fixed 🧵...

Growing avocados at the moment (first time my tree has beared (born?) fruit!)
Since noticing tiny fruit this took around 2 months, and there's still more growing to be done.
The tree is around 5 years old (an estimate).
Purchased pre-grafted, Hass avocado on an unknown (likely) Mexican rootstock.

According to SEO tool Ahrefs they get around 21K visits per month from Google. Here are some screenshots showing traffic stats and "top pages" (those which drive most traffic). All estimated data.

It's great that you are using your voice Owen - but do you ever regret some of your previous stances? Do you feel that in your position you did enough to counter the 'weaponisation of antisemitism?'

Did Google Search Console always just show "Overview" as the title tag (any SEO's remember?) - might be handy to show the domain/property URL here too...

Learned I have been blocked today by a hero of mine 🫠

Never really understood people who block (surely just mute if you're bored of whatever they've been saying?)

I know I go on about Palestine but... rather speak about it than ignore it 🤷‍♂️

An interesting FOI request to follow - Lisa Nandy and her time spent meeting with the ambassador of Israel to the UK (Tzipi Hotovely).

Unpopular opinion: you can't be pro-Palestine without continuing to be pro-capitalism.

To be both is paradoxical; what is taking place in Palestine is the result of powerful capitalist forces. Just look at the companies that are complicit and have supported what has taken place.

I believe that Reddit is suppressing any Palestine/Gaza/genocide related content, via pro-Israel accounts. If anyone wants to help me prove this (eg analysis of Web Archive records of the frontpage of Reddit over a set period of time?) - please reach out.
Would be a good story worth being told.

Found plenty examples of the Israel government running ads which spread their propaganda online, via good old Google.

Is this the same Israeli Government which says, on it's website, that the events of 7th October were "a catastrophic act of genocide"? 🤔🤔🤔

It's funny really - the BBC says MasterChef will be broadcast (despite the inappropriate sexual behaviour from Gregg Wallace) because it's the "right thing to do" for the amateur chefs who took part...

Yet when it comes to the Gaza doc: Doctors Under Attack - they were happy to bin it? 🤔🤔🤔
July 24, 2025 at 6:02 AM
These days you hold up a sign that says I support Palestine. Action is needed now you get thrown in jail!
July 22, 2025 at 10:19 AM
Your challenge (if you choose to accept it or not) - try reading 1 article on the BBC website about Israel's genocide of Gaza - without there being this highlighted paragraph.

It's almost as if the pro-Israeli BBC are doing their propaganda work for them by justifying their every action. 🤔🤔🤔
