Just been to @yorkminster.bsky.social They have inclusive toilets ie individual rooms, labelled with the male and female standard symbols. It takes all the stress out. Maybe consider more inclusive signage, see image, but well done York Minster!

Toilet sign saying "everyone" with the person image half male half female

This is a useful summary. Keep yourself safe out there, peeps.

How to report suspicious emails and text messages:

If you’ve received an email or text message that doesn’t feel right, STOP!

break the contact – don’t reply, click on any links, call any phone numbers or make any payments
check if it’s genuine: contact the organisation directly using an email address or phone number you know is correct, e.g. from your utility bills, via a search engine, on the back of your card or by calling 159 for banks
Report suspicious emails by forwarding them to: report@phishing.gov.uk
Report suspicious text messages by forwarding them to: 7726 (it’s free of charge)

How to report suspicious phone calls:

If you’ve received a phone call that doesn’t feel right, STOP!

hang up
check if it’s genuine: contact the organisation directly using contact details you know are correct, such as those on a utility bill, official website, the back of your card or by calling 159 for your bank
don’t trust the Caller ID display on your phone – it’s not proof of ID
report it by sending a text to 7726 with the word ‘Call’ followed by the scam caller’s number

If you have been a victim of cyber crime or fraud, tell the police at www.reportfraud.police.uk.

This is obviously fake - it's AI generated from the Tiananmen Square Tank Man photo (same road markings and lamp post). It doesn't help for people to post fake stuff. Let's keep ourselves honest (even though they won't).

Actually, it wasn't Mandela who said this. But the words are still true.

During Israel's Gaza genocide, @Reebok became sponsor of the Israel Football Assoc, which includes teams in illegal Israeli settlements and has a league for Israeli soldiers. Join 367 Palestinian teams demanding Reebok end its sponsorship. #BoycottReebok loom.ly/b2vL_lE

All over the UK, gammons are exploding...

Came home from holiday overseas yesterday to be greeted by this (obvs without bit about Viet Nam at bottom, only image I could find). I guess this is at all UK ports of entry. A small child bigging itself up because it feels totally inadequate. Utterly, utterly cringeworthy. We were embarrassed.

Sign saying "Welcome to Great Britain & Northern Ireland. "Great" is enormous white lettering on red ground, "Britain & Northern Ireland" is tiny blue lettering on white ground. Also says "UK in Viet Nam" and has half a Union Flag.

This is what a spine looks like, as they may not have seen one before and they definitely need one now...

Image of three warplanes. Text says "The UK government cannot pick and choose when to uphold international law or whose lives are worth protecting. The UK must finally end its complicity, and act now to prevent Israel's atrocities in Gaza from being repeated in the West Bank"

We do not want this in the UK. Dose could be adjusted to give same effective dose in 28 treatments as 35, but side effects would be more significant. Has to be done at start so if 35 doses planned and he is on dose 27, too late to adjust now. We are rapidly sleep-walking into this scenario.
