If the authoritarian and technologically deficient delinquents leading Labour do impose ID checks just to post on social media I'll probably just stop bothering.

It won't work to 'save the kids' but it will be a pain in the arse for everyone.

Monaco: backed Leclerc at 2.18 to win the race.

One of the things I love about Skye is that the landscape never looks quite the same twice.

I've photographed Loch Fada and the Storr in rain, mist, snow and sunshine, but every visit feels different.

Top tip for doorknockers trying to sell something: when you hand over contact details but don't have a certain sale, adding an unnecessarily contemptuous and disrespectful comment is not going to increase your chances of getting a sale.

Backed Norris each way at 7. He looked very good in the sprint and if rain does affect things I think he could be in good shape then too. https://t.co/HSToPcLHMF

No bet for timing reasons but a quick wibble on the sprint qualifying: https://t.co/tFAg9KLqWR

Luck is random but it's not divided equally. Max Misfortune is the latest 2D F1 comic from @the_lollipopman (and me): https://t.co/jVLmk7sbRK

IDs submitted for age-checks have been leaked before, and it could happen again. Because of the Online Safety Act, you have to prove your age to access legal content like blog posts and X threads.

Is this really worth it?

This isn’t a glitch.

YouTube’s AI has wiped out 13+ years of WWII tank archive footage and veteran stories. My entire channel is gone, and my account has been disabled 155,000 subscribers erased overnight.

People are now calling me a PDF file, because in their minds the channel “wasn’t deleted” even though you can clearly see that it was. https://t.co/ZKFbIbWFrO

That's the internet for you!

First, the channel was removed. Then, my entire account was disabled. YouTube support bots claiming it was a Google product trigger, doesn't make a lick of sense when the channel was deleted first!

The content that got flagged? Historical WWII footage. No nudity. No inappropriate intent. Just real history yet it was labeled as “child abuse material.”

And I’m not the only one this has happened to.

This isn’t just about one channel. It raises serious concerns about how automated systems are handling and potentially erasing historical archives.

We can’t let real history be misclassified or disappear like this.

@Doomer_Armus The evil Keiko episode of DS9 was rather good. It was nice to see Keiko getting to do something interesting... even if that was menacingly evil.

[Morris Dancer @MorrisF1]

@Niko_Del_Atleti @1 Sorry for slow reply. I would've said good value but only if DNS counts as a win (it came off, in the event, of course).

F1: my incredibly sleepy bet is Leclerc, each way at 6.

So, @PlayStation is basically unusable for me now. The UK Online Safety Act means I have to hand over a face scan or government ID just to use basic features. My PAYG mobile isn't accepted, and I’m not giving biometrics to a company with a history of massive data breaches. #Ps5

F1: no bet, very brief, super tired.

England is home to one of the rarest habitats on Earth.

Chalk streams are crystal-clear rivers formed by water filtered slowly through chalk hills and aquifers.

They stay cool, clean, and remarkably clear, which is why they are so beautiful.

There are only around 200 chalk streams in the world, and most of them are in England.

You’ll find them mainly in southern and eastern England, especially in counties such as Hampshire, Wiltshire, Kent and Norfolk.

Famous examples include the Test, Itchen, Kennet and Lambourn.

They are an extraordinary part of our countryside, rare, fragile, and worth protecting.

Had you seen a chalk stream before?

Been watching a new channel, History of China, which I really rather like. The latest, on the Ming Emperor Yingzong, is up here: https://t.co/5mvlzwXQmS
