Gorgeous! I loved those 2s ❤️
Christmas Ident Calendar Day 15. BBC2's '2' stayed with Wallace & Gromit in 1995 to promote A Close Shave, which was watched by 10.62m on Christmas Eve. This presentation won a BAFTA for Best Graphic Design. Look out for the nod, the wink & the raised glass at the end.

Great story
As the year wraps up, we’re revisiting our standout stories.

In rural Tamil Nadu, fish is dried through solar power.

This first-of-its-kind sustainable technology in India is helping women in the dried-fish trade: it has reduced their working hours and made the product cleaner.

As fish-drying process is becoming automated, Indian women are finally reclaiming lost hours for leisure and bonding with their children.

I look at these and cannot help thinking that nothing would be worse, and many things would be better if none of these people had done anything.

90% of AI is the invention of tools out of unnecessity.
I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

As an old North London rhyme puts it: "Hornsey's rain is Tottenham's pain". Haringey's topography plus loads of plumbing misconnections result in Crouch End sewage flowing through Lordship Rec and into the Lea 😩
What if Thames Water aren’t always the baddies when it comes to sewage in London rivers? It’s hard to comprehend, so in April I challenged @rachel-rees.bsky.social to find a single example of a misconnection and chase it to the Thames. It became an epic quest: www.londoncentric.media/p/misconnect...

London Centric chases illegal sewage from a single polluting pipe on its toxic journey across the capital.

So sorry to hear this
Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

Granny squares FTW 😊
@hcrichardson.bsky.social my ways of resisting: becoming a card carrying member of my town’s Dem committee, going to protests and standouts, calling my electeds, and crocheting a protest blanket! The first two picks are the latest that I am stitching into the full blanket now🤗

I've done all my Christmas jam selling and my stocks are very low but if you're still after home made, head for Camberwell tomorrow...
slightly random but I’m running a stall selling my cousin’s home made jam at Camberwell Market tomorrow 11-4 if anyone needs last-minute stocking fillers

"Is everyone who lives in Ignorance like you?" asked Milo.

"Much worse," he said longingly. "But I don't live here. I'm from a place very far away called Context. It's such an unpleasant place that I spend almost all my time out of it.”
