I am BEGGING the BBC to stop calling them “anti-immigration” protesters, they’re racists. If they’re shouting racist abuse, and attacking people of colour, they’re racist. Call them what they are. Racists, stirred up by right-wing politicians and media. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Short-sighted, stupid cuts to the UKRI budget include shutting down Jodrell Bank, the icon of British astronomy. (Many other cuts too, including 20% to our brand new @vrubinobs.bsky.social). Interesting politically to shut down a major facility in...um..Manchester 🔭 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Jodrell Bank? JODRELL FUCKING BANK??? Fuck off and tax the super rich you absolute bellends.

I’ve been walking past a lot of Team Fiji on the way to work the last few days, and came round the side of the south rotunda to what seemed like most of the crew from the Caiman Islands the other day. It’s such a great atmosphere.

Huge props to Team Jamaica who were cutting about Pacific Quay in hoodies that said “we’re faster than you” on the back. It’s true and you’re absolutely right to say it.

It’s very funny going for a run when the #CommonwealthGames is in town, because what do you mean I have to do the most mid 5km imaginable, with some of the world’s best athletes zipping past me, barely breaking a sweat? #RunningPunk #JogDivision

Nobody can take a piss in peace, there are roving gangs of fash burning people out of their homes, much of the countryside is literally on fire, and at every turn we're being urged to gamble on either online Bingo or AI. Don't let the door hit you where the good Lord split you, fucko.

I’m so fucking pissed. There’s been some really shit decisions made in cycling recently, and a 2am wake up call for a doping test is yet another one of those, and 5am for Pogačar is just as bad. For fuck’s sake.

Fucking GUTTED.

I watched PHM during the Artemis II flyby of the Moon (which I was also crying regularly at) and was frankly dangerously dehydrated by the end of the film.

Look at what the cis do with their “fairness in sports” bro lmao 😭

Given the effects of yesterday’s travel, the amount of mental effort it took to build the Zeiss Model II can only be described as Herculean, but are you kidding me with how cute these dinky starballs are?! L-R Konica-Minolta Infinium Σ, Zeiss Cosmorama, and a Zeiss Model II.

Yesterday involved two midnights, 22 hours of travel, 16 hours on planes, an empty middle seat, a crossing of the international date line, and a jaunt over Iceland. Japan was properly incredible, but it is also very nice to be home.

I was in no way prepared for the scale of this thing (the life-sized Unicorn Gundam on Odaiba Island) when I rounded a corner during yesterday’s long run. 4 miles that were apparently so sweaty a very kind stranger asked if I was OK. #RunningPunks #JogDivision

I actually don’t think I could have been much soggier if I’d just gone straight into the canal. 5km through Fukuoka before day 3 of #IPS2026. Nice to see the #RunningPunks heron’s Japanese cousin.

Keir Starmer is a bad person who used his power to make the United Kingdom a more unequal place and dismantle the possibility of opposing oppression and genocide, and to drive trans people from public life. If you think he is decent, I have news for you about your own moral judgement.

Britain loves a good ban as a protective means: -ban teens from socials to protect teens -ban gender affirming healthcare for teens to protect the teens -ban anti-war protests to prevent violence -ban trans women from bathrooms to “protect women” -ban foreign journalists from 🇬🇧 for “public good”

Flight one of two, done! Fukuoka and #IPS2026 (after a 13-hour flight to Tokyo and a five-hour Shinkansen) here I come!

Here I am flailing about trying to figure out the words for how I feel about the phone ban, and @roseschmits.bsky.social has done it for me.
