Question Time usually frames Bragg as ‘National Treasure’ - as is correct

A bit niche, but a local resident has just launched a website to let you know/report whether the Greenwich Foot tunnel lifts are working www.greenwichlifts.co.uk

That’s #greenwich, London, UK

This is very cool, just launched - an app that lets you build Swift apps on your phone via chatting with an AI

I honestly think you are completely overestimate the ability of broadcast media in 2025 to shape political beliefs. Also worth noting that the story here from the BBC is highlighting Reform’s support for fracking - a particularly *unpopular* position.

Do you believe current opinion polls have anything to tell us about the current state of political support in the country?

You might as well complain that the media is giving too much coverage to Jeremy Corbyn’s new party, given its lack of MPs

Aah - but have you ever changed your mind about anything?

Desirable, of course. A space where people can disagree and perhaps even change each others mind isn’t a bad aspiration

Walthamstow there's a fire at Wood Street Station and by the sounds of it, its a major one involving one of the businesses under the station. Please avoid the area if you can to help give the fire service maximum access and will update as soon as I have confirmed details as to what has happened.

A do-or-die moment for the scientific enterprise Reflecting on our paper “The entities enabling scientific fraud at scale are large, resilient, and growing rapidly”

…. And of course, if it did that, you’d have to cope with interminable stories on the ‘shocking way that the BBC ignores its own scandles while reporting on everyone else’s’. It’s going the right thing.

I’m petrified about today’s science news. Genetically modifying crabs to have cheetah genes? This could go sideways fast.

I imagine the motorway signs would say exactly the same today if something similar happened. Not sure the image tells you much about societal change.

Ironically, most human adults can’t hear the soundtrack of the remake either

Looks good.

😮

This feels like a real time-saver

You sound fun

Very cool

Print headlines and online headlines have different constraints. Print headlines are much more constrained by space. If the reader is holding your print product they have typically already acquired it (front page headlines excepted) so no need for ‘clickbait’). Online needs to think SEO and clicks

Oooh, I quite like ‘indignation mark’ to describe certain uses.

Might knick that! <— — not an indignation mark

Walking through nettles

Thank you to Derek of the @riverroding.bsky.social Riber Roding Trust for a fantastic guided walk from Debden to Wanstead Park today. Opened up whole areas of green East London I didn’t know existed. Plus some epic nettles.
