If you have recently arrived from Twitter I have put together a number of UK Legal Starter Packs which will help you find colleagues who are already here. This is the first: go.bsky.app/5F86oZU

That's a city bigger than Oxford- just homeless kids.

We made a special documentary episode of News Agents on this last year. Being in temporary accommodation is devastating for kids' life chances. It is also bankrupting councils.

A reason to distrust the nation state which has nothing to do with borders.

Anyone who thinks that they have a 'right' to drive, should not be in Parliament. Criminals, generally, should not be in Parliament.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.
Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?
I hope you don't, as exciting as it must be...hope you get some rest soon, and have decent pain relief

Back in A&E (kidney problems this time).

A woman turned to me earlier and said - out of nowhere - "are you afraid of getting old"?

I'm in a Beckett play.

Shameful. Essentially forcing a fan to pay twice for their season ticket.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."
