Here's an idea for an App, Ice Cream Van Tracker. Alerts you when an Ice Cream Van is close by and gives you the GPS location so you know exactly where it is.

It is crazy/scary that one mistake at one private company can shut down and plunge the entire world's infrastructure - travel, health to name a few - into chaos.
CrowdStrike is actively working with customers impacted by a defect found in a single content update for Windows hosts. Mac and Linux hosts are not impacted. This is not a security incident or cyberattack. The issue has been identified, isolated and a fix has been deployed. We refer customers to the support portal for the latest updates and will continue to provide complete and continuous updates on our website. We further recommend organizations ensure they’re communicating with CrowdStrike representatives through official channels. Our team is fully mobilized to ensure the security and stability of CrowdStrike customers.

What actually happened is the Israeli army set a dog on a Palestinian man with Down’s Syndrome, which savaged him. They then left him to die of his injuries, and his decomposed body was later discovered by his relatives. This headline is a disgusting travesty.

This caption should've been 'You Khan't see me"
A surreal 24 hours. So grateful for the Ambani family for their unmatched warmth and hospitality. An experience filled with so many unforgettable moments which allowed me to connect with countless new friends, including meeting @iamsrk and being able to tell him personally the positive effect he has had on my life.

Sit back down Suella !! And rein in the indignation Rishi!! And accept the role you’ve both played in the toxic culture that’s now biting you. If you spend years dog whistling , ratcheting up divisive rhetoric , stereotyping and demonising communities and failing to act on racism within our own ranks don’t be surprised if you get called a “f’ing Paki” by those you enabled , empowered and emboldened. Let this be a lesson - culture wars may get you headlines but they damage us as a nation.
Suella Braverman says today that the prime minister’s attacks on racist views expressed by Reform candidates has less force because the party he leads - and she aspires to lead - kept Frank Hester’s millions. Quite extraordinary attack on the eve of polling day, in the Telegraph. She says “whatever the ‘smartest men in the room’ may privately think, the public are not in fact mugs”. Read attached

Funny reading all these Tories vexing about Starmer trying to protect some time to spend with his kids. Bro, you're party's leaders worked 24/7 around the clock to...just be terrible terrible prime ministers. Laughable.
This is a ridiculous, and dangerous, thing for an aspiring Prime Minister to believe. We're involved in multiple armed conflicts. The threat level from terrorism is Substantial. We face regular cyber attacks. Our adversaries do not clock off at 6pm. The PM is always on duty.

I've been called a P*** so many times, both in person and on here. Every single South Asian has been called it regularly. Feels quite empowering to watch the PM own it and call it out in that way. There will be many people up and down the country that will mean a lot to.

Why on earth is an image of Muslims hiking, being used as the headline image for a story about noise, littering, and urinating in people's gardens in Llanberis? This is irresponsible and misleading. #Islamophobia @cfmmuk – at Coventry, England

Caring isn’t just my family's story, it is the story of millions, caring for each other, dealing with tough times, and keeping going with love. Sharing our story hasn't been easy, but it's important. It's time to bring carers' experiences into the light.

Yeah day by day it's becoming increasingly difficult to vote for this party now. This, the Dianne Abbot saga, the selection of Luke Akehurst. Such a bizarre series of decisions in the past 24 hrs. If only there was a credible alternative.
The deselection of @faizashaheen is unacceptable. To use her tweets accounting personal experiences of Islamophobia as evidence for deselection is utterly outrageous. Telling a Muslim woman she is not allowed to talk about her own experiences of racism is clear Islamophobia.

Plotting to suspend a democratically selected Muslim candidate for liking a tweet acknowledging the existence of an Israel lobby, while imposing the director of “We Believe in Israel” as a candidate elsewhere. All in a days work. Labour aren’t being subtle!
Congratulations to @lukeakehurst, Labour's candidate for North Durham!
