It's a good view to enjoy on a morning walk, especially on mornings like that. Feel spoilt round here.

A welcome initiative is taking place before Liverpool’s game against West Ham, designated the club’s β€œRed Together” match. According to research conducted by Liverpool’s commercial partner Carlsberg, 81% of deaf and hard-of-hearing fans feel unable to participate in match-day chants with 74% of those affected feeling disconnected from the stadium atmosphere. In response, and in conjunction with the British Deaf Association, Liverpool fans are being asked to perform β€œYou’ll Never Walk Alone” in British Sign Language (BSL) and sing the club’s anthem before kick-off. BSL translators will be in operation at every subsequent home match and bar staff at Anfield are being trained in basic sign language to help combat the exclusion that deaf and hard-of-hearing fans experience on a matchday.

How do you stop worrying about dumb trends people follow? The new AI caricature doing the rounds is bad, but we never stop doing dumb stuff. A hundred years ago people happily wore arsenic, even knowing the risks. I need to stop being surprised by basic human stupidity. We ain’t changing.

I was so happy to see this. Not a kilt. A skirt. And why wouldn’t someone from a vastly different culture to ours wear one? #StarTrek

I see more and more people using Substack. Did I miss the news that they reversed their position on Nazis? Did they stop pivoting to video? Is it better to be seen at a nazi bar than hope someone bumps into your self hosted newsletter? I’m confused.

To think that they made up pizza gate in order to gain power, and now it turns out it was them all along. Where's the mass outrage that brings down a political party? Its like nothing is real anymore. Everything is just story to play a game we're all stuck in with no agency over.
