It's #OrganDonationWeek so I wrote a bit about the psychology of living with a transplant (or living with someone who's living with a transplant). abysstalks.blog/2023/09/22/enj…

@ChezBruce Councils can prosecute them, which can result in hefty fines and/or a prison sentence.

Managed to get the reg of a van fly-tipping near where I live. Reported online to the Police. Received a reply informing me that they will not be taking any further, as the local Council deal with this problem. Now, that’s what I call a deterrent! What a joke.

@shelleyj89 Yes, the team was flat so the crowd were flat. It was like that, and worse, plenty of times over the years at the old WHL.

Using the word depressing to describe a quieter atmosphere irks me. And people have very, very short memories as there were plenty of quieter atmospheres at the old stadium.

@JamesBalliol @Millar_Colin Tbf there's been Spurs/Chelsea needle since the 70s. But I agree, no one really cares about Man City's success - and fans of some clubs are just grateful they've prevented their own rivals from winning stuff.

Question for football fans: beyond obvious geographic and/or sporting reasons, what rivalries does your club have - and why? Which matches have more needle and extra tension? (also keen to hear reasons for clubs you don't support)

@LoveTheShirt Was the journo's question about artistic merit over winning the most stupid question of all the stupid questions he's asked whenever we don't win?

Recording in half hour. Any questions get them in!

@Forzabahab And yet the club gave Brandon Austin a 5 year contract in May. Baffling.

I get that no one rates Forster, but ask yourself this. As bad as everyone says he is how bad must our number 3 and 4 keepers be to never get a look in?

@lib_crusher On a trip to the US years ago, my first stop was with friends in Kankakee. The passport official at O'Hare looked at my reasons for visiting and where I'd be staying, and said in disbelief, "Three weeks of pleasure? In Kankakee??!"

Does anyone know if John Prescott ever punched anyone?

@_jamesmeek That's such a compelling read, thanks, so much to absorb from it. I hope Tatiana can one day return to her vegetable plot.

I went to Kharkiv, Ukraine, and wrote about it for the London Review of Books lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v46/…

@Billie_T Pretty sure Kane also made sure the ref gave Scales his first yellow by getting in his ear. Good all round captaincy!

Kane shouldn’t drop deep losers in the mud

Selection of 'what the heck?' questions from a Telegraph survey to help them "understand the broader news market, our readers' core beliefs and what they look for in their news providers" (that I only did to try and win £100 John Lewis vouchers...).

@NetworkRailSE Hi - do you know when the new lifts at Tooting will be open? They seem to have been ready some time ago, but they're still cordoned off. Thanks!

Media has learned nothing since 2016.

@jaredpolis @RobertKennedyJr @HHSGov You think babies should have a personal choice in whether they have the polio vaccine?

I’m excited by the news that the President-Elect will appoint @RobertKennedyJr to @HHSGov. He helped us defeat vaccine mandates in Colorado in 2019 and will help make America healthy again by shaking up HHS and FDA. I hope he leans into personal choice on vaccines rather than bans (which I think are terrible, just like mandates) but what I’m most optimistic about is taking on big pharma and the corporate ag oligopoly to improve our health. Before you mock him or disagree, I want to share with you some quotes that if he follows through show why I’m excited: “Level the playing field for Americans internationally on drug costs…cap drug prices so that companies can’t charge Americans substantially more than Europeans pay." YES! Colorado currently has an application just SITTING at FDA for us to import low-cost prescription drugs from Canada and we just need their approval. "In some categories, there are entire departments, like the nutrition department at the FDA that are – that have to go, that are not doing their job, they're not protecting our kids," YES! The entire nutrition regime is dominated by big corporate ag rather than human health and they do more harm than good “We’ve got to get off of pesticide-intensive agriculture.” YES! We have tried unsuccessfully to better protect people and pollinators from harmful pesticides here in Colorado and we need all the help we can get to take on big chemical companies and improve human health and the environment! For our pollinators and our people! 🦋 He will face strong special interest opposition on these, but I look forward to partnering with him to truly make America healthy again and I hope that we can finally make progress on these important issues.

@NickyBandini The other place has been having some tech issues today, which might be affecting search.

A few ppl saying they can't find me. I'm definitely there so maybe just the search function taking a min to find me? Hopefully will appear in your feeds soon!

Started an account over at the other place. I'm a less heavy social media user across the board than I used to be, so I make no promises about post frequency here or there, but we shall see!

@lib_crusher Don't use center as a verb but do use 'cadre'?

@RealUnsweetDee @Paracelsus1092 @E_iversonii And here's a lot more to that story. "Investigators have interviewed all three of Cheryl Graham's surviving exes. Johnson wasn't the only one with a gun story to tell." cbsnews.com/news/2-suicide…

@Paracelsus1092 @E_iversonii This one is a trip nbcnews.com/news/amp/wbna2…

@RachelVMartin I agree. I was recently reading about Liverpool's Rhys Williams who has had a series of disappointing loans, so we're not the only club it happens to. Seems to take a lot of things to align for it to work out, especially if a team is struggling.

@AbyssTalks It’s a shame that he’s out of the team because it’s hard to develop if you’re not playing. He was so brilliant last season it just seems such a shame. I appreciate loans are always a gamble.

What exactly is Jamie Donley getting out of this loan??
