US man issues challenge to disprove his claim of having world’s smallest penis to raise micropenis awareness North Carolina’s Michael Phillips revealed that he had a 0.38in member in bid to reduce stigma of the condition

Micropenis sufferers are easily identifiable by the four interlocking circles found on the front and rear of their cars.

I suspect that releasing people from flatshares and parents’ spare rooms would actually reduce the burden on local services given the negative impact that overcrowding has on mental health and wellbeing.

I don’t think we disagree?
- make planning easier
- build more homes
- build more council housing
- scrap right to buy

But France has never built less than 300,000 homes a year?

You might hate the trickle down logic but study after study has shown it to be true. A lack of market sale housing prevents wealthy people moving into more expensive homes, blocking less affluent people from moving, and so on.

Fast homes at scale: ‘We’ve all the tools we need to solve homelessness’ The solution to the UK’s homelessness crisis already exists. It just needs political will, planning nous and determination to bring it about

Homelessness is increasing, and the financial and human costs are climbing. We have all the tools we need to solve it...so why aren't we using them?

Wait until you learn about the meaning of New Order…

That means neither of you have been to Finsbury Park, which surprises me

A flow chart shows 17.4 million leave voters in 2016, vs 16.1m remain. In 2025, 5 million of those people have died, and 3 million new voters have come of age. The result (plus some people changing their mind) is 19.8 million voters now back rejoin, versus just 11.7 million wanting to stay out.

Absolutely amazing chart from @peterkellner.bsky.social's piece in @thenewworldmag.bsky.social today:

Lisbon is such a feast for the eyes

Thank you very much, this was a complete surprise but very lovely.

If divorced dads whose kids don't see them could go back to dressing up in superhero outfits and climbing up buildings instead of ushering in fascism I think we'd all be better off quite frankly.

Slight detour while in Croydon for a client meeting yesterday to swing by @anfurman.bsky.social’s exquisite tiled facade at Croydon Colonnade. You just want to rub your hands all over them. Delicious.

Thanks, Mary! Glad you agree.

For a start, “deserts” are actually rich with biodiversity, so using this as a metaphor for a lack of green space is moronic.

Someone paid a lot of money for this
