  2. Went to the Stop the #Norwich #DataCentre protest this lunchtime.

    No one group seemed to dominate - it was broad collective of people from across the spectrum coming together to fight having an #AI data centre the same height of City Hall (the backdrop) dumped next to Marston Marshes.

    Jake Humphries, the sports presenter who grew up near by gave a good facts based speech that went down well with the crowd.

    This is an issue that speaks to everyone concerned about water and energy resources.

  3. We hada great evening out with a picnic at the #Handlebards last night. If you're able to ride out to one of their remaining performances, then buy tickets at handlebards.com - #Norwich tonight!

    So good that I failed to take a photo all evening, it seems.

    Hugh Jackman is in gesprek om een aandeel te kopen in de Britse voetbalclub Norwich City FC. De Australische acteur volgt daarmee mogelijk het voorbeeld van zijn goede vriend Ryan Reynolds, die enkele jaren geleden samen met collega-acteur Rob Mac mede-eigenaar werd van voetbalclub Wrexham AFC....

  10. Came home yesterday to find my partner fuming that someone had been whipping up a campaign against an old pub being converted into a mosque by putting a glossy leaflet through door.

    He usually leaves the fuming to me…but this time it had inspired him to put in writing his support of the planned mosque to the planning department.

    We are not even in the same postcode as this pub.

    Who is funding this subtle but glossy Islamophobia?

  11. Ah Norwich, a city of contrasts. Here are four pictures can you tell the two which are pretty brutalist 🤔🙂

  12. ‘Clive Lewis, the #labour MP for #Norwich South, backed the #LibDem call for a cross-party meeting.

    “It’s the kind of politics we need. We may disagree on how we do it and how far we go, but political cooperation like this is the start of consensus building, something any radical transition has to build across both political parties and society, especially if they’re to take on those vested interests that want the status quo to continue.”’

    I’ve been aware of Bridget McKenzie for a while because she’s located in #Norwich. Her use of the word #EarthCrisis is useful in that it locates the polycrisis and makes it clear we are in a ‘crisis’ not just experiencing a neutral period of ‘change’.

    I also separately like how she reminds me of how radical the women of my adopted city have been. We have role models.

    "He will grab a fried egg and run off with it.

    "Scrambled eggs are one of his favourites too."

  15. nor(DEV):con

    Anyone familiar with nor(DEV):con —nordevcon.com

    They don't seem to be on fedi, which (amusingly?) automatically makes me wonder if it is the right sort of "con" for me.

    I've never heard of it before, but it looks like it has been around a while (it started after I left the tech industry, so no real reason I should have heard of it until now.)

  16. Some particularly chilling things about this #domestic #murder case in #Norwich #Norfolk are how effective #CCTV is in the city ( main cameras are *very* high quality HD images), offender was previously an *employee* of Norfolk #Constabulary and a craft #knife was used as the murder #weapon.

    Such a knife is more widely available and doesn't raise many eyebrows when purchased by a middle aged adult man - but would also take a lot more premeditation to use effectively to cause serious harm than larger "zombie #knives" that gang members prefer..

    And because of men like him I have to be paranoid about keeping a Sealey craft knife in my car (retrieved from a former fleet vehicle and used for peaceful purposes) in case I ever get a random stop check..

  17. Fighting back against #AI #datacentre in #Norwich.

    Beautiful hand drawn poster with insects protesting.

  18. Clive Lewis, #Norwich South #Labour MP has spoken about the fire on Mousehold Heath:

    “The immediate cause of this fire is not yet known.

    "What we do know is that intense heat and severe drought are driving it, multiplying the number of outbreaks we see across the country.

    "Climate breakdown is happening around us right now, posing a major threat to our communities.

    "Yet we still lack a coordinated, cross-government strategy or the resources needed to build proper resilience."

  19. Last night I had a joyful experience of witnessing the partial eclipse with hundreds of fellow #Norwich residents up on Mousehold Heath.

    This evening I hear from a friend it’s on fire 🔥

  20. Are you a #Norwich resident?

    Are you concerned about how your city is adapting to #ClimateChange?

    Does helping the city make real tangible progress towards #NetZero matter to you ?

    Do you think the city could operate more sustainably?

  21. It’s very tricky viewing the back screen of your phone through eclipse glasses while trying to line up said phone through a lens filter…that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it!

  22. Partial #Eclipse up on Mousehold Heath above #Norwich.

    So glad we managed to get the special glasses in time - definitely made it seem real! But my attempts at photographing the event through my phone with the special lens filter were woeful…

    The atmosphere however, was brilliant - loved seeing everyone come out to see it!

  23. Went to the newly reopened #Norwich library in the Forum today.

    Was mostly impressed:

    - Kids/Teens/Manga in one place, separated by arches

    - Lots of study space and tables for group work and board games.

    But…

    - Sadly my niece tells me there are less poetry books - but they are more accessible on lower shelves.

    - It felt sterile - no exhibition space. Didn’t see the signs that were previously on display at entrance stating it’s a trans friendly safe space (#Reform are to blame for this)

  24. Those who follow me will know that I say #Norwich and wider #Norfolk are like night and day when it comes to political persuasions.

    They will also know that I am no fan of the local rag, the Eastern Daily Press as it routinely sides with #Tories and #Reform.

    Yet this is what its editor had to say tonight about the thuggery taking place in #Thetford that has threatened the life of one its journalists.

  25. Greater Anglia has installed a new £4.9m sanding system at its Crown Point depot in #Norwich to improve train reliability and safety.

    The system replaces manual handling of five-kilogram sand bags with a 30-tonne storage silo and compressed air network, distributing kiln-dried sand through around 500 metres of pipework to 55 delivery points across the depot.

    Staff can now fill train sand boxes using pump-style nozzles, which automatically stop when full. The upgrade reduces manual work, prevents damp sand issues and supports better traction and braking, particularly during autumn and winter when trains use more sand on slippery rails.

    The depot services 27 trains every 24 hours and can use up to three tonnes of sand during busier periods. Greater Anglia said the investment will help improve service performance, reliability and resilience for passengers.

  26. And unsurprisingly the rightwing #Reform supporting local rags that are the Eastern Daily Press and Norwich Evening News (both Newsquest) have zero reporting on #Norwich #Pride today, despite the huge turnout that filled the city centre.

    Local news is dead to anyone on the Left.

  29. #County will fly #Pride #flag as #Norwich balks.

    #OxfordCounty has affirmed it will fly the #Progress #Prideflag, which includes the #LGBTQ Pride flag in its design.

    Oxford County #Warden #MarcusRyan said the flag sends a message to anyone in the 2SLGBTQIA+ community who feels #marginalized.

    Seeing “A flag can make them feel like they #belong in our #community. That’s a good #policy decision. That’s good #government to do that,” he told CTV News.
