Roots and Berries chain to replace the longstanding Lucio's cafe in Brockwell Park, seriously? Exactly what everyone expected, an out-and-out middle class cafe pricing out practically all the families we work with. Afternoon tea for two at £48 anyone? @brixtonblog.bsky.social

On R4’s Today the excellent @ciaranm.bsky.social took apart Musk’s claim Ukraine was behind a cyberattack that took down “X”. Also said it was shocking that a major online business could be vulnerable to something as crude as a Ddos. At least he has no access to sensitive government data - oh wait

Reminder that measles can have a 12 day incubation period, and people may travel during this time. Do not think that it will necessarily be contained to the city or state where the outbreak is occurring. Vaccinate. And look to state and local health depts for more up to date info.

CDC Measles web page has not updated since February 7 and will not update until March 7.
The Centers for Disease Control has officially stopped caring about infectious disease control.
This is obscene.
