    @Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt Here in the UK, after they have been awarded a huge MoD contract to add to their NHS and police contracts, Palantir&#39;s ability to access sensitive defence information is a feature, not a bug. Between Palantir and Oracle and the new age-gating two tier internet, everyone is going to be logged in and spied on all the time.

    Those cuttings I took a couple of years ago of the clematis seem to have done rather well in the deep clay silt soil at the bottom of the allotment. #Gardening #Allotment

    @TJ1001@mastodonapp.uk The fact that they fell for it the first time means they will fall for it again. We&#39;ve seen it happen in the US, we are seeing it happen here. Lobbyist money, media, social media bubbles working on tired, scared, ignorant voters.

    I&amp;#39;ve been trying to decide whether to buy a pannier top bag for my bike. Being an avid scavenger, I always keep my eye open. On the way back from Lidl I saw this little gem chucked in an old flower bed on the street. Good condition, practically new. Why do people chuck this kind of stuff away? Mine now. #Cycling #Life

    @MyWildlifeAllotment Damn, and that would be a lot of watering too. We have had warmth/sun then rain so everything is greening up fast and even flowering early. I like this time of year, when the growth and colour is there but before it&#39;s gone wild and I regret planting so much.

    @ShredderLivesOn Labour does U-turns, Farage distances himself, Starmer has his resets. Worst Haiku ever.

    @clemens This is a great tool. I think Ghostery also do a &#39;never consent&#39; on their plugin that works pretty well too.

    Pics from the yarden as spring brings more growth. I&amp;#39;ve moved stuff on to better, bigger pots that I&amp;#39;ve found in back alleys and given the old pots and troughs to the local nursery. Its nice to have things clean, tidy and growing. In June this will be a forest. #Gardening

    @leavex@mastodon.social The UK government is eager to bring in online ID, a VPN ban etc, ostensibly to protect children online and yet the vast majority of MPs and gov officials continue to use X or FB, the very platforms guilty of promoting online harm. It&#39;s not about protecting anyone, if they had any morals they would leave.
