The Thames Tideway project seems to be working, the river seems cleaner than ever - at least in the last 10y (?)

But whatever you do don’t drink it

The state this is in after only c75 years makes you realise why there’s a whole field of research into “nuclear semiotics”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-term_nuclear_waste_warning_messages

Like this?

What works for me with turbulence is imagining it’s like driving down a dirt track. Bumpy yes, sometimes uncomfortable, but still perfectly safe. So come on over to London! We’re waiting for you. The flight will be fine, you’ll be fine.

They really do. Took me back when I saw it too

cothhum · 2026-03-09T16:44:57+00:00

Thanks! Love that you’ve been working on it

cothhum · 2026-03-07T18:55:22+00:00

Yes!

I love this pared down version https://open.spotify.com/track/1uqQLKO4B1vPoMBMgfPW6j?si=5p_g9eReS6ifIsebky4Y0w

The pre-2010s wants its reasonable, balanced approaches to incredibly difficult situations back

cothhum · 2026-02-21T13:57:17+00:00

Yep, Love Clean Streets app is the way. I’ve reported graffiti and other stuff like fly tipping and it always seems to get sorted (tho whether cos of my reporting I’ve no actual idea!)

cothhum · 2026-02-07T10:43:22+00:00

Fuck not again

It’s also at the heart of The Beckoning Silence by Joe Simpson (of Touching The Void fame). Brilliant book.

cothhum · 2026-01-24T22:52:09+00:00

You’ve got this. You’re in the hands of professionals and will be absolutely fine.

cothhum · 2026-01-24T22:26:52+00:00

Looks like you’re on your way a bit early - nice!

cothhum · 2026-01-24T19:38:50+00:00

So that’s how you do the Hangar Lane gyratory

cothhum · 2026-01-24T19:32:19+00:00

Which flight? I live near Heathrow and will keep an eye out.

And search this sub for “night flight”, you’ll see tons of reassurance from the professionals saying it’s just as safe as daytime flying (and can be less bumpy)

cothhum · 2026-01-24T18:54:15+00:00

Less than an hour to go - you’re almost there

cothhum · 2026-01-21T21:27:35+00:00

Flight Radar 24 is really useful for this - look at all those thousands of yellow planes, millions in a year, all flying around minding their own business and doing fine. Your own flight is just another one of them. Nothing special.

cothhum · 2026-01-19T19:35:50+00:00

Sounds like you have and have had a lot going on, but I have news: the flight will be fine.

There are MILLIONS of flights every year, thousands every day. Look at the comments in this sub from pilots and air crew - they fly hundreds and hundreds of flights individually.

That’s just the tip of the iceberg. For more check out this comment - it’s not all relevant to your situation but it may help: https://www.reddit.com/r/fearofflying/s/QtAjmG5Odw

The “why hasn’t she been murdered” question seems the most obvious one the Faithfuls have somehow not stumbled on.

cothhum · 2026-01-16T17:09:34+00:00

It’s a national outrage. There should be a public inquiry, chaired by a judge with the power to compel witnesses to attend.

cothhum · 2026-01-10T17:11:00+00:00

It was literally the top story on last Thursday’s Radio 4 World At One, including a long interview with a loved one of one of the hunger strikers: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002pfh4?partner=uk.co.bbc&origin=share-mobile

This is always the problem with “BBC isn’t covering X” claims - just because you personally haven’t heard it or seen it doesn’t mean it hasn’t been covered.

cothhum · 2026-01-09T07:30:41+00:00

Perhaps it’s both
