Not that any Londoner has actually wanted to go to Trafalgar Square on NYE for decades, but the general FUCK OFF AND DIE SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP CERTAINLY DO NOT HAVE FUN messaging strategy of the ticketed era is depressing and joyless

Investigating this I have gained knowledge of an obscure international bank transfer quirk that could benefit others.
Since X posts get indexed, it is this:
“ERI” (Extended Remittance information) is prepended to certain extended metadata in international transfers involving ISO20022. “ERI” is also the Latin alphabet name of a recently sanctioned Russian corporation as per opensanctions.org/entities/NK-Vr…. This can cause “a problem” if your bank is unaware of the coincidence.

My own left-wing ideological priorities aside, this was easily the best story of the year. Every mainstream political, economic and media institution tried to embrace Trumpism and ram this narrative of right-wing cultural dominance down our throats and it backfired dramatically.

these people started 2025 thinking they were on the precipice of something huge only to soon learn that their moment of “cultural domination” had already passed, and i think that’s beautiful. happy new year

Of a piece with both Khan and Starmer's general strategy of "whatever you say, say nothing. unless it's grim, then knock yourself out"

I bought an American recipe book once and was baffled and furious that the Apple Coffee Cake didn't have any coffee in it. I wanted that combo of flavours so badly I added instant coffee to the liquid ingredients and it was DELICIOUS. I must bake it again soon & share the recipe!

My response to the (weird) greeting 'Happy New Year': 'Thank you but I pay absolutely no attention to the 'New Year', an empty moment which I associate with the former USSR's (failed) attempt to abolish Christmas'

The joys of protocol! When BT sent an incorrectly addressed telegram on behalf of the Prime Minister to the Queen Mother on her birthday, the ensuing concerns resulted in a formal complaint to No10!

@ishaharris0 The source for the monstrosity seems to be this: england.nhs.uk/greenernhs/wp-… and I think the blobs are meant to be proportions of the total for each column

I hate this Grauniad front page story so much. Why are the numbers lumped over 5 years? (To bigger 'em, Four Lions style, and to make it impossible to tell if they are in fact rising)

Worthless junk. I know it's the 31st but if you're that starved of content run a big cartoon or something

Finally, of course the doctors found that some of the patients were OK. If everyone could flawlessly diagnose themselves we wouldn't need all these stupid doctors would we

Who cares about 4,200 A&E attendances over five years? That's such a tiny proportion of the total it could well be caused by fat finger errors

@_night_brain__ Doubt we can muster a Taskforce nowadays. A self-selected Local Community Review Panel will have to do.

It's that time of the year again when we remember a clutch of tiresome celebrities, mediocre sportspeople, political hacks, time-serving bureaucrats, patronising relatables, and invariably the BAE Systems CEO. Happy honours to all who celebrate
