Worth a watch (~5mins), might help you save someone's life or at least know what you can do to help

Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @london.gov.uk · 4h

With more defibrillators set to be installed, it’s also important that everyone learns how to use these devices.

I’m urging Londoners to watch our short training video on how to perform CPR and use a defibrillator to step in and assist in an emergency:

Jonathan Rey Lee’s book on CATAN is almost out. It’s the first in the Tabletop Gaming series that Paul Booth and I have been hard at work editing this past three years. Anyway, the book is fantastic. Please consider it and share with the right people.

In all seriousness, access to pens and paper, pre printed documentation and forms, and other low tech items is something I've raised in many cyber incident exercises I've run for clients. It's a surprising weak spot for many organisations as everything is digital these days.

With the right equipment and knowledge, we can make London a city where everyone feels confident to step in and help during a cardiac arrest.

Our new funding will help the London Ambulance Service install 200 new defibrillators across 84 neighbourhoods without easy access to one currently.

London's 'defibrillator deserts' to get 200 extra machines

The life-saving machines are to be installed in some neighbourhoods where there are currently none.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

It’s an age-old “pyramid scheme.”

A tweet by UcKema reads:
“> It is 2025 BC. I am a soldier from one of the outlying provinces called to defend the pyramid in Memphis.
It is 2025 AD. I am a soldier from one of the outlying provinces called to defend the pyramid in Memphis.”
Below is a photo of soldiers in uniform with “Military Police” patches standing outside the glass Pyramid Arena in Memphis, Tennessee.

I spent the week at the police surveillance convention and let me tell you my biggest observation: The name of the game now is consolidating as much information as humanely possible from surveillance devices, the internet, other governmental data, and literally a million other places. 🧵

This is what one of the biggest Diwali celebrations outside of India looks like.

Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate light overcoming darkness, hope overcoming hardship, and unity in our diversity.

A person stands on stage addressing a large crowd gathered in Trafalgar Square for Diwali on the Square. Colourful tents and festival stalls fill the area behind the crowd, with the National Gallery visible in the background.
