Water bills are through the roof, sewage is still being pumped into our rivers and Water companies are raking in massive profits while Ofwat does next to nothing.

At some point Logitech started bundling GPT software with their mouse software. I found this out because it was causing MASSIVE system instability on my machine. They silently rolled this stuff out and it's not only something I didn't need or want, but it's actively harming my system.

It’s The Observer’s 233rd birthday tomorrow. The world’s oldest Sunday newspaper, whose future has been put at existential risk by our billionaire owner. I couldn’t be prouder to be defending it on the picket line with Guardian & Observer colleagues tomorrow. @gonuj.org

Over on X, there's a fantastic summary of why we believe the Observer should stay with the Guardian rather than be sold to a little known, financially precarious startup – and why Guardian & Obs journalists are striking Wed & Thurs. Thanks so much @chrisgpackham.bsky.social
