So... Remember that guy who took Newport Council to court for £600m because he accidentally threw out the hard drive with his bitcoin private key on it?
Judge just summarily dismissed his case.
And even if you're not a lawyer, the judgement is a pretty fun read... /1

Musk’s abuse of the Twitter algorithm is increasingly blatant. There is an animal videos site I follow (I know). No sooner had I finished watching a wombat than it automatically moved on to a video of Tommy Robinson ranting about grooming gangs. And this was on the feed I had nominally chosen myself

Congestion is caused — and air pollution and climate change is made worse — not by cycleways or LTNs, but by too many motor vehicles.

Good piece in The Economist on excessive specialisation during secondary education in the UK -- and how this has led to poor numeracy among e.g. civil servants and lawyers.

Part 2 of the ‘English homelessness law is awful’ thread.
Assuming you have managed to be found by the council to be homeless, eligible, in priority need & not intentionally homeless (hard, see Part 1 bsky.app/profile/near... ), then the council will provide you with permanent accommodation, yes? 1/

I suppose, thinking about it, I should probably do a quick explainer for new followers as to just how mind-bogglingly awful English homelessness law is (different in Scotland and Wales), because few people outside the sector (unless they've been through it) really have a clue... 1/
Suitable accommodation under section 190 Housing Act 1996 - little caselaw, as TA for intentionally homeless is often only a a couple of weeks, but here a JR decision on unsuitability of B&B accommodation for household of 2 adults & 2 children with health issues nearlylegal.co.uk/2024/08/suit...

Those of us who want Musk to get out of our politics (about which he knows nothing and cares less), and for X to stop facilitating and encouraging murderous racist thugs and vile abuse, need to act.
Lots of us have to act or it won’t work.
Suggestions: RT if you agree.
