Finally representation at Boots

To think people complain about the state of the Tube now when this was what Bank station on the Central line looked like after over a decade of Thatcher in 1992:

elon canceling the adobe pro subscriptions of the entire federal government and that resulting in the entire Epstein files getting accidentally released fully unredacted because real redaction is a pro feature sure sums up 2025 nicely great year everyone, good work 11/10

@lb_southwark A perfectly good, recently-built, court is being torn down to provide some student accommodation, at a time when the legal system has never had a bigger back log. 71 social rent homes, much as they are needed, isn't enough to mask that this a ridiculous situation.

This week we approved the redevelopment of the Blackfriars Crown Court block proposed by Howells ✅ The site is set to provide new student accommodation as well as 71 vital social rent homes for the local area 🏡

@DavidGHFrost @MayorofLondon @TfL x.com/calroscow/stat…

An entire train like this on the Bakerloo line just now. @MayorofLondon Sadiq Khan's @TfL. London's decline in one image.

Such horseshit. Only when they started painting the trains (when TfL and the GLA were created in 2000 - previously they were plain metal) did they make a real effort to stop graffiti. Before then graffiti like this had been the norm since 70s: youtube.com/watch?v=xdEG0B…

@daniellismore Omg I think this is the wildest thing that has happened in quite a while. Jeannie forever ♥️

Jeanie Dee lives on! Omfg!!! She would have loved this.

I thought London was dead on a Saturday night? Make your mind up

@scottygb Am irrationally pleased about this for some reason.

The BBC have reunited with the Met Office for its weather forecasts. The BBC ditched Met Office in 2015 and had partnered with Meteogroup (with Met Office for weather warnings.) It now appears the partnership is back.

This is a video of Soho. Which had some of the most dreadful (white) gang violence in the 1950s, which isn't present today.

“Yet when it is one of their own in the dock, the language changes. Suddenly trauma matters. Suddenly ADHD is real and relevant”, writes @pimlicat of @BestForBritain 🗣️ Selective empathy: why compassion can’t be reserved for the politically convenient politics.co.uk/comment/2025/0…

@Tesco @UfitDrinks In the nicest possible way, I'm not going to spend more time on this.

@calroscow @UfitDrinks Please send me over the details previously asked for, the chat was closed in error. TY - Ben twitter.com/messages/compo…

Research claims EU deal will fuel growth — and Labour is listening thetimes.com/article/842360…

This is indeed a really intersting piece of work by @BestForBritain We all know that closer links would help the economy. What is really interesting is the idea that they could help shelter both sides from the impacts of US tarrifs. thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…

@tomhfh This is an unwise joke (and hopefully it is a joke). He means "English" in the sense that he's white South African but not "Afrikaner". publishing.cdlib.org/ucpressebooks/…

Turns out a political donation from Elon Musk wouldn't be foreign interference after all.

@bleachy_chris It's this sort of content that keeps me from only using Bluesky

You can find me on the other place at the same username @calroscow

I preferred the person I was before I had heard of the Schooner Scorer.
