Lovely trip to Birmingham and thence to Andover for parkrun on the Trafalgar Way. Home via pongo country-Tidworth, Bulford, Larkhill, passing something called RifleFest which is I assume members of the Rifles Regiment polishing their equipment & sleeping under hedges. Or something. I did not stop!

#transrightsarehumanrights Trans rights, gay rights, women's rights. One struggle, one fight.
Paul CotterillIn advance of Aug 5th, anti-trans extremists are ramping up the attack on parkrun for being inclusive. Added bit now is the 'Sophie Cunningham point' (I had to look it up tbh), which feels adapted/adopted as a deliberate "we will single you out and target you for hate and humiliation" message.
I'm not convinced it just plugs into a socket. We have them and the connection is absolutely not plug and play.
Helen CzerskiPlug-in solar panels are coming to the UK from August 27th! It's been in the pipeline for a while & it's already common in Germany. But it's BRILLIANT because it opens up these technologies to renters & ppl w/o their own roof. Plugs into a normal socket & supplies ~ 10-20% of household needs. ☀️🎉
I am not manning anything. I don't do lean manning. I certainly don't do unmanned vehicles. Pah!
The News AgentsNick Clegg is urging people to "man the barricades" when it comes to "indefensible" tuition fees... The fees he helped introduce. "Im sure the generation of graduates paying tax rates of nigh on 50% will be terribly grateful for his conversion... of his conversion".
