  • What's your favourite emotionally devastating movie?

    Jump

  • Strangely these are my favourite kind of films, as there is something cathartic about emerging from an emotional roller coaster. These films have stayed me with long after:

    • Irreversible
    • 21 Grams
    • Never Let Me Go
    • Burning
    • First Reformed
    • The Long Walk

  • ‘Read this and you will be happier’: experts pick the self-help books that really work

  • The article is just a list of books, which you could also borrow from a library.

  • Men and Women Are Still Racing Unequal Distances in College Running. It’s Time to Ask Why.

    Jump

  • I'm intrigued why people are voting this down. If you took the time to read the article, you'd find it has some important points from women challenging the unequal distances:

    While competing in nordic skiing and cross country for Middlebury College in the late 90s, Molly Peters noticed the event discrepancies in both sports right away after running equal distances in high school. Witnessing her nordic skiing coach, Patty Ross, advocate for equal distances in the winter sport and being met with resistance inspired Peters to take up the effort herself.

    “We’re sending a message to young women that they’re not as capable, and I feel really strongly that this is something that’s so easy to change and something that women deserve. They deserve the opportunity to go out there and do the same distances as the men,” Peters said.

  • Would You Try The ‘24 Parkruns In 24 Hours’ Challenge?

    Jump

  • I haven’t even run 24 different parkruns in my life, so it’s pretty impressive to do 24 different ones in 24 hours! 😵

  • Who is Laila Cunningham, Reform UK's candidate for London mayor?

    Jump

  • Why are you determined to shutdown any conversation about Reform and their tactics? As saying goes "know your enemy".

  • UK urged to unplug from US tech giants as digital sovereignty fears grow

  • Here’s a pick-me-up for the January blues: this could well be Nigel Farage’s last year on top

  • Could you please provide a quote or reference for that?

  • Over 100,000 pairs of running shoes now removed from landfill

    Jump

  • According to this article, the shoes are sorted, and where possible they are given a second life and redistributed, otherwise they are used to generate electricity.

    All trainers and running shoes donated by participants will be sorted by the JogOn team to ensure they are suitable for redistribution before being sent on for reuse in the UK and overseas.

    JogOn works with companies, charities and organisations that can make use of second-hand shoes, with 90% of donated shoes suitable for redistribution.

    Any running shoes that are not suitable for re-use are disposed of by the JogOn team via a waste-to-energy plant where electricity is generated from incinerating waste.

  • Thousands sign petition to protect London cafes from chain takeover

    Jump

  • These existing independent, and often family run, cafes are not expensive third wave coffee shops, if anything they are comparable to a greasy spoon. I was at Parliament Hill Cafe the other day, and from memory a flat white was around £3.80. Compare that to Daisy Green, which charges £4.30 for a flat white.

  • Music Assistant 2.7 - Taking over the airwaves

    Jump

  • That is correct, it aggregates different providers, and also provides integrations with speakers. In my case, I use Music Assistant to listen to my Navidrome music collection over my home speakers that use Chromecast.

  • Nigel Farage targeting six London council wins for Reform in elections

    Jump

  • This article is a call to action for the left to form a broad coalition to stop Reform getting elected:

    He said: “Labour are going to find their vote horrendously split with the Greens and Corbyn and the Gaza independents. All these different people. There is a chance that Labour vote really gets hit.”

  • Nigel Farage targeting six London council wins for Reform in elections

    Jump

  • We can't just simply ignore Farage and Reform, and hope they'll go away.

  • Say YES to a traffic-free Oxford Street, but demand decent cycleways in the West End

    Jump

  • According to TFL:

    Currently, between 7 am and 7 pm on Monday to Saturday, Oxford Street is only permitted for buses, taxis, and cyclists. Private cars are banned during these hours, and restrictions also apply to turning from Orchard Street into Oxford Street, with the exception of these permitted vehicles.

  • Are you referring to genre tags? If so, they're adding that feature in version 2.8.

    There is also a Don't Stop The Music feature, however that relies on functionality from the underlying provider.

    The Don't Stop The Music (DSTM) option can be enabled if a provider is available which supports dynamic tracks (i.e. Apple, Deezer, Spotify, Subsonic, Tidal and YTM). When DSTM is on, radio mode will be automatically enabled when the last track of the queue is reached and if any dynamic tracks can be resolved from one of the providers. The added tracks will be based on the played items in the queue.

  • Famous south London food hall set for demolition to stay open until end of next year

    Jump

  • It's being demolished after the council decided to turn the site into flats.

    Mercato Metropolitano has confirmed that its Elephant & Castle site will stay open until the end of 2026 after plans to bulldoze it to make way for almost 900 flats were approved earlier this year.

    Southwark councillors approved the Borough Triangle development, which will see 892 homes built in tower blocks up to 44 storeys high, during a planning meeting in March.
