This was another day when I had very little time to myself, although it was merely busy rather than actually unpleasant. Here's a Nissan Figaro in the car park by Sainsbury's. They were pretty popular in the UK for a while and grey-imported in their thousands, but it's quite rare to see one now.

Zack Polanski has won the ballot, with a big majority (over 80%) but a fairly poor turnout (about a third). That would seem to cement the direction of the Greens now as an explicitly radical left-wing party, closer to the Corbyn/Sultana vehicle than anything else. We'll see what happens, but in this part of the world -- where they have an MP in North Herefordshire -- I think they're quite likely to lose a lot of ground. The Greens around here are much more the traditional kind, moderate and localist, who will share the anger about river pollution and might even back water nationalisation on the grounds the current companies have failed. What they won't be receptive to is "Smash the bosses!" class war-style narratives. They'll also be actively put off by too much talking about Palestine -- not because they "love Israel" as the siller social media types have it, but because they believe environmentalism should be the issue for the party, not necessarily wider issues of social justice.

The Lib Dems are surprisingly weak in North Herefordshire -- they lost their deposit at the general election -- which means an obvious alternative home for these voters is less likely than perhaps you'd imagine it to be. Traditionally people in those areas have been moderate, old-fashioned Conservatives -- but that version of the Tories has been more or less destroyed by its own national leadership. Who now is a centrist Green voter who sees climate change as a huge issue but doesn't consider themselves a left-winger to vote for? The answer to that question -- whether they stay in a party that's set to be radical in ways that they really are not, or whether they look elsewhere -- is likely to have quite a bearing on politics in the Marches.

IT'S CHRIIIIIISTMAAAAAS!

Yes, thank you Mr Holder, that's quite enough of that for now. But indeed: there were mince pies on the shelves in Sainsbury's this afternoon. I am really, really not ready for that on 1st September! Fortunately the major Christmas invasion has not yet begun, thanks in part to the growth of Halloween junk over the last decade or so. My photo today has nothing to do with that, except insofar as being a Christian church pretty much requires some kind of link with Christmas! This is All Saints in Wribbenhall. It's actually right in the inner suburban part of eastern Bewdley, even if it doesn't look like it from this angle.

Per the [site community profile] dw_news post regarding the MS/TN blocks, we are doing a small code push shortly in order to get the code live. As per usual, please let us know if you see anything wonky.

There is some code cleanup we've been doing that is going out with this push but I don't think there is any new/reworked functionality, so it should be pretty invisible if all goes well.

Pride Union Flags, Bewdley, 31st August 2025

A nice antidote to the hijacking of my national flag(s) for unsavoury purposes by the hard and far right. This flat above a pub in the middle of Bewdley has decided to make a real show of its flags. Except that these are Pride Union Flags! Considering the particular bigotries of many of the people misusing my actual national flags, this seems like a nice antidote! I don't think the pub itself (the Real Ale Tavern) underneath is involved, but I'm not really sure as it's not a pub I go into. Don't be deceived by the nice sunny weather -- it absolutely hammered down for a while later on!

A reminder to everyone that starting tomorrow, we are being forced to block access to any IP address that geolocates to the state of Mississippi for legal reasons while we and Netchoice continue fighting the law in court. People whose IP addresses geolocate to Mississippi will only be able to access a page that explains the issue and lets them know that we'll be back to offer them service as soon as the legal risk to us is less existential.

The block page will include the apology but I'll repeat it here: we don't do geolocation ourselves, so we're limited to the geolocation ability of our network provider. Our anti-spam geolocation blocks have shown us that their geolocation database has a number of mistakes in it. If one of your friends who doesn't live in Mississippi gets the block message, there is nothing we can do on our end to adjust the block, because we don't control it. The only way to fix a mistaken block is to change your IP address to one that doesn't register as being in Mississippi, either by disconnecting your internet connection and reconnecting it (if you don't have a static IP address) or using a VPN.

In related news, the judge in our challenge to Tennessee's social media age verification, parental consent, and parental surveillance law (which we are also part of the fight against!) ruled last month that we had not met the threshold for a temporary injunction preventing the state from enforcing the law while the court case proceeds.

The Tennesee law is less onerous than the Mississippi law and the fines for violating it are slightly less ruinous (slightly), but it's still a risk to us. While the fight goes on, we've decided to prevent any new account signups from anyone under 18 in Tennessee to protect ourselves against risk. We do not need to block access from the whole state: this only applies to new account creation.

Because we don't do any geolocation on our users and our network provider's geolocation services only apply to blocking access to the site entirely, the way we're implementing this is a new mandatory question on the account creation form asking if you live in Tennessee. If you do, you'll be unable to register an account if you're under 18, not just the under 13 restriction mandated by COPPA. Like the restrictions on the state of Mississippi, we absolutely hate having to do this, we're sorry, and we hope we'll be able to undo it as soon as possible.

Finally, I'd like to thank every one of you who's commented with a message of support for this fight or who's bought paid time to help keep us running. The fact we're entirely user-supported and you all genuinely understand why this fight is so important for everyone is a huge part of why we can continue to do this work. I've also sent a lot of your comments to the lawyers who are fighting the actual battles in court, and they find your wholehearted support just as encouraging and motivating as I do. Thank you all once again for being the best users any social media site could ever hope for. You make me proud and even more determined to yell at state attorneys general on your behalf.

St George's Hall films board, Bewdley, 30th August 2025
211/365: Films at St George's Hall
Click for a larger, sharper image

There's a very mildly interesting article on the BBC News site about the current travails of Costa. The article rather reduces it to "They don't sell matcha" (which is true) but the actual most likely reason isn't because they don't appeal to Gen Z-ers who want trendy drinks. It's mentioned lower down, and is because Costa is stuck in that same middle-of-the-road rut that the likes of WH Smith occupied before its break-up. You can go to a posh indy coffee shop and pay a bit more for special-feeling service. You can go to Greggs and get a no-frills latte for £2. Costa's not terrible, but it's not noticeably better value than anywhere else. I'm not entirely surprised its owners, Coca-Cola no less, are looking to offload the brand. Considering they only bought it in 2019, that suggests things have gone quite badly wrong. Oh, and I don't actually drink matcha, so that aspect isn't something I can comment on anyway!

It rained quite a bit today, so you're getting a boring 365 photo! This is the blackboard that St George's Hall places in the Load Street car park entrance to advertise its weekly film screenings. I'm a little bit surprised to see F1 listed, as St George's Hall doesn't often go in for star-centric blockbusters. I'm not planning to go, though: it has "modern film disease" in that it's 155 minutes long. Even allowing for the Hall not following multiplex practice of showing 753 hours of trailers and adverts first, that's still a bit lengthy for my liking. I'll probably watch it eventually, but once it's available on some home service I can get. I'm willing to wait for that.

Chapter Meadows, Worcester, 29th August 2025
210/365: Chapter Meadows, Worcester
Click for a larger, sharper image

In Worcester yet again today, this time for a medical appointment. Not one I particularly want to go into details about here, but it wasn't anything catastrophic. Since it didn't take all that long, I also had time for some walking. I walked up to Diglis Bridge and back, which took just under an hour. The weather was sometimes sunny, but there was also a constant threat of rain. I had an umbrella but didn't quite need it, as no more than a few drops actually fell. The photo shows the Chapter Meadows nature reserve, looking back towards the city -- you can see Worcester Cathedral tower at centre right. And yes, the clouds really were as dramatic as they look; that's not post-processing artistic licence! Amazing the heavy rain missed me, really.

It rained quite a bit today, albeit off and on. As such, I didn't go out apart from things I needed to do. During a quick supermarket run (nearly literally!) I walked home past this plaque. In all truth I only very vaguely remember Fritz, who used to wander around Bewdley as though he owned the lot. I mean, maybe that's just being a cat, but he was still known by all and sundry. As you can see from the dates, he had a reasonably good innings -- but it was sad that he died just three days before his fifteenth birthday. This plaque is set into a small bed of gravel at the very top of Load Street, outside an estate agent.

Arthur Dent had it right. There's unimportant shopping, there's ordinary shopping -- and then there's tea shopping! I happened to be in Stourbridge today, so I popped into the Tesco Extra there. It's not massive by Extra standards (the one in West Bromwich is noticeably larger) but it's big enough. I actually have no idea how this compares to tea sections in other countries' supermarkets, but it's a good-but-not-amazing variety for here. Roughly the nearest three sections are "black tea" (though we rarely use that term in everyday life; it's just tea) and the other two are green, flavoured, herbal, etc.

Merchants fish and chips, 26th August 2025
207/365: Fish and chips
Click for a larger, sharper image

I was delighted to be able to have fish and chips from the excellent Merchants Fish Bar in Bewdley today. The weather was better yesterday, but queueing up on a hot, sunny Bank Holiday Monday would be more an exercise in masochism than anything else. Happily they had a deal on "haddock meals" today, ie haddock, chips and one extra. As you can see, I had mushy peas, which I adore. Oh, and salt and vinegar, but that goes without saying. There were plenty more chips under the fish, so it was a good portion. If you're not familiar with mushy peas, they probably don't look that appetising in the photo -- but they taste a lot better, or at least I think so! The fish was as tasty as ever, the chips were very nice, and all round I think £9 for this was pretty decent given what hot meals usually cost these days. I drank shandy with it, which went down very nicely.

I'll start with the tl;dr summary to make sure everyone sees it and then explain further: As of September 1, we will temporarily be forced to block access to Dreamwidth from all IP addresses that geolocate to Mississippi for legal reasons. This block will need to continue until we either win the legal case entirely, or the district court issues another injunction preventing Mississippi from enforcing their social media age verification and parental consent law against us.

Mississippi residents, we are so, so sorry. We really don't want to do this, but the legal fight we and Netchoice have been fighting for you had a temporary setback last week. We genuinely and honestly believe that we're going to win it in the end, but the Fifth Circuit appellate court said that the district judge was wrong to issue the preliminary injunction back in June that would have maintained the status quo and prevented the state from enforcing the law requiring any social media website (which is very broadly defined, and which we definitely qualify as) to deanonymize and age-verify all users and obtain parental permission from the parent of anyone under 18 who wants to open an account.

Netchoice took that appellate ruling up to the Supreme Court, who declined to overrule the Fifth Circuit with no explanation -- except for Justice Kavanaugh agreeing that we are likely to win the fight in the end, but saying that it's no big deal to let the state enforce the law in the meantime.

Needless to say, it's a big deal to let the state enforce the law in the meantime. The Mississippi law is a breathtaking state overreach: it forces us to verify the identity and age of every person who accesses Dreamwidth from the state of Mississippi and determine who's under the age of 18 by collecting identity documents, to save that highly personal and sensitive information, and then to obtain a permission slip from those users' parents to allow them to finish creating an account. It also forces us to change our moderation policies and stop anyone under 18 from accessing a wide variety of legal and beneficial speech because the state of Mississippi doesn't like it -- which, given the way Dreamwidth works, would mean blocking people from talking about those things at all. (And if you think you know exactly what kind of content the state of Mississippi doesn't like, you're absolutely right.)

Needless to say, we don't want to do that, either. Even if we wanted to, though, we can't: the resources it would take for us to build the systems that would let us do it are well beyond our capacity. You can read the sworn declaration I provided to the court for some examples of how unworkable these requirements are in practice. (That isn't even everything! The lawyers gave me a page limit!)

Unfortunately, the penalties for failing to comply with the Mississippi law are incredibly steep: fines of $10,000 per user from Mississippi who we don't have identity documents verifying age for, per incident -- which means every time someone from Mississippi loaded Dreamwidth, we'd potentially owe Mississippi $10,000. Even a single $10,000 fine would be rough for us, but the per-user, per-incident nature of the actual fine structure is an existential threat. And because we're part of the organization suing Mississippi over it, and were explicitly named in the now-overturned preliminary injunction, we think the risk of the state deciding to engage in retaliatory prosecution while the full legal challenge continues to work its way through the courts is a lot higher than we're comfortable with. Mississippi has been itching to issue those fines for a while, and while normally we wouldn't worry much because we're a small and obscure site, the fact that we've been yelling at them in court about the law being unconstitutional means the chance of them lumping us in with the big social media giants and trying to fine us is just too high for us to want to risk it. (The excellent lawyers we've been working with are Netchoice's lawyers, not ours!)

All of this means we've made the extremely painful decision that our only possible option for the time being is to block Mississippi IP addresses from accessing Dreamwidth, until we win the case. (And I repeat: I am absolutely incredibly confident we'll win the case. And apparently Justice Kavanaugh agrees!) I repeat: I am so, so sorry. This is the last thing we wanted to do, and I've been fighting my ass off for the last three years to prevent it. But, as everyone who follows the legal system knows, the Fifth Circuit is gonna do what it's gonna do, whether or not what they want to do has any relationship to the actual law.

We don't collect geolocation information ourselves, and we have no idea which of our users are residents of Mississippi. (We also don't want to know that, unless you choose to tell us.) Because of that, and because access to highly accurate geolocation databases is extremely expensive, our only option is to use our network provider's geolocation-based blocking to prevent connections from IP addresses they identify as being from Mississippi from even reaching Dreamwidth in the first place. I have no idea how accurate their geolocation is, and it's possible that some people not in Mississippi might also be affected by this block. (The inaccuracy of geolocation is only, like, the 27th most important reason on the list of "why this law is practically impossible for any site to comply with, much less a tiny site like us".)

If your IP address is identified as coming from Mississippi, beginning on September 1, you'll see a shorter, simpler version of this message and be unable to proceed to the site itself. If you would otherwise be affected, but you have a VPN or proxy service that masks your IP address and changes where your connection appears to come from, you won't get the block message, and you can keep using Dreamwidth the way you usually would.

On a completely unrelated note while I have you all here, have I mentioned lately that I really like ProtonVPN's service, privacy practices, and pricing? They also have a free tier available that, although limited to one device, has no ads or data caps and doesn't log your activity, unlike most of the free VPN services out there. VPNs are an excellent privacy and security tool that every user of the internet should be familiar with! We aren't affiliated with Proton and we don't get any kickbacks if you sign up with them, but I'm a satisfied customer and I wanted to take this chance to let you know that.

Again, we're so incredibly sorry to have to make this announcement, and I personally promise you that I will continue to fight this law, and all of the others like it that various states are passing, with every inch of the New Jersey-bred stubborn fightiness you've come to know and love over the last 16 years. The instant we think it's less legally risky for us to allow connections from Mississippi IP addresses, we'll undo the block and let you know.

Summer's final fling?

Against all rules of British weather, August Bank Holiday Monday was both very warm (29 °C) and decently sunny. Nice mackerel skies in the morning, too. I decided to avoid the crush in the town centre and instead this morning I went for a walk in the Wyre Forest. It was very pleasant, and once away from the small car park (which was nearly full) there were only a handful of people about. Today's photo gives a good idea of what this part of the forest looks like. Later, I walked up to the local farm shop to have an ice cream. Greed got the better of me and I had a double scoop cone: one was cherry, the other was clotted cream fudge. A slightly weird combination, but a very welcome one on a hot day!

...or, indeed, social media here, is the level of opposition to Benjamin Netanyahu's government within Israel itself. It's one reason (of many) why the tedious likes of Zarah Sultana and the equally tedious people who insist on saying "Zionist entity" because they can't bear to use the word "Israel" are so little worth listening to. I'm a very long way from being deeply knowledgeable on Israeli civil society, but for example we've seen:

Enormous protests across the country earlier this month, with hundreds of thousands of people on the streets -- in a country with a population of ten million. These aren't just the "progressive fringe" on the left that Netanyahu would like them to be seen as.

More large protests planned to call for a hostage deal, not the "total victory at any cost" that the Israeli government seems to be pushing.

A majority of Israelis telling pollsters that Netanyahu is handling the war badly and a much bigger majority in favour of a deal to end the war in Gaza.

A British yeshiva student remanded in custody after sending a letter to the former Israeli Chief Rabbi requesting religious permission to kill the Attorney-General over the issue of the conscription of ultra-Orthodox Jews, itself a major political crisis.

Said Attorney-General, Gali Baharav-Miara, sacked by the Israeli government, with the country's highest court then imposing an injunction and the case to come to a full hearing next week.

Net emigration of Jews from Israel, something that has only happened before in economic crises. While reasons are contested, one theory is that liberal, secular, internationalist Israelis dislike what they see as a drift to the religious and far right (see the current Israeli Cabinet...) and no longer feel at home. Given many of these are young people with strong tech skills and fluent English, there's an obvious concern for Israel's defence industry, and thence national security itself.

This isn't to say that Jewish Israelis are in fact much more liberal on things like Palestinian rights than we thought they were. On the whole, they're still strongly of the opinion that the IDF is making substantial efforts to avoid civilian casualties, and not especially troubled by reports of famine and hardship coming out of Gaza.

But the thing we're barely getting at all in the headlines -- I had to go looking for the above links -- is that Netanyahu is absolutely not bestriding Israeli public opinion like a colossus. A lot of Israelis think he's prolonging the war to keep himself out of jail for corruption, not for actual military reasons.

The BBC's Jeremy Bowen has one of the few in-depth articles I've seen in the Western media on the divisions within Israel. Definitely worth a read. There's certainly a lot I still don't know.

I'm rather late with my evening post tonight, but here it is at last! A pretty simple scene this time: I'm looking down High Street in Bewdley from near the edge of town towards the town centre. Look in the distance at the end of the street and you should be able to see the tower of St Anne's Church at the top of Load Street. This is actually an older street than it looks. Some of these houses aren't Georgian -- they're older timber-framed buildings, with Georgian brick frontages added when that became fashionable in the 18th century. Having the street almost empty on a sunny Bank Holiday Saturday is almost worth a photo in itself!

It's been far too long since I've had a music video post, so let's fix that right now! Instead of my usual oldies, here's a song that was only released in late 2020. The genre of "Valhalla Calling" is listed on the screen in front of me as "Viking", and I can't really argue with that decision! It's inspired by the game Assassins Creed: Valhalla, which I've never played – so I may be missing the odd reference, but it doesn't seem to harm the song. Miracle of Sound is a band I'm only just discovering, but I'm already pretty sure I'll be listening to quite a bit more of their music, which spans many genres and often takes its inspiration from pop culture just as this song does. If you really like it, you can buy the track in MP3 and lossless formats for $1 on Bandcamp.

On my way into Worcester today, I stopped off briefly in Droitwich as it's Saltfest weekend, celebrating the town's heritage as it was once a key part of the British salt industry. The main festival site by the canal was still being set up, though a few of the craft stalls were already open. This photo is of the construction of a small tented village representing Saltwich, the name used for the town in the era of the Hwicce tribe in Saxon times. It's intended to show the ninth century, near the end of the Mercian Supremacy. Note the tent at the back and the replica period weapons in the foreground. The bearded man in the centre is putting together a wooden bench or small table.

It's certainly the season for people to drive their classic cars! Bewdley gets quite a few of them on a nice day in August, and here's another one. This is a 1953 Jaguar XK120 being driven down Load Street, the town's main shopping street. It was a highly glamorous car in its time: its 120 mph top speed (hence the model name) was a world record for a production car, and the very first production XK120 to reach the US in 1948 was owned by none other than Clark Gable. The first 242 cars were hand-built using aluminium panels, but demand couldn't keep up and so in 1950 the design was switched to mass-produced steel. The XK engine was highly advanced for the 1940s, featuring a double overhead cam at a time when this was largely the domain of racing cars, and it remained in production (with modifications) for 40 years.

Today I was looking through one of those lists of "Things that should be remembered but somehow aren't" (you know the ones) and most of the entries were things I did in fact know about. But one I didn't, indeed had never heard of before today? The Vajont Dam Disaster of 1963, the deadliest rockslide (causing the 250-metre wall of water that overtopped the dam) in European history. Here in Britain we remember the avoidable catastrophe of Aberfan in 1966. That killed 144 people. Vajont killed around two thousand. Yet, according to the piece I mentioned, it's almost never talked about outside Italy. I certainly don't remember ever seeing it discussed.

As with Aberfan, the Vajont disaster didn't have to happen. As with Aberfan, there were official cover-ups -- a newspaper was actually sued for stirring up trouble about the mountain's instability a few years earlier. As with Aberfan, communications were poor -- a couple of villages had evacuation notices but didn't really act on them. As with Aberfan, there had been multiple warning signs such as smaller rockslides earlier. As with Aberfan, in the wake of the disaster politicians scrambled to attribute the megatsunami to natural causes, acts of God... anyone but themselves.

I don't know how much Aberfan is known outside the UK (and Wales in particular) these days, but I'd still have expected to know something about Vajont. After all, I know about the Bologna station bombing -- and Vajont killed more than twenty times as many people as that. It has made me wonder what other large-scale events there are, even just in Europe, that I simply don't know about.

And another train...

In weather terms, a slightly better day than yesterday. Still largely overcast, but the cloud base was a bit higher -- and at least this time the Met Office hadn't insisted all day that it was going to be warm and sunny. I happened to be in the right place at the right time for this photo. It's a path I know well but rarely use, on the eastern edge of Bewdley. The train is a Class 108 DMU, built by British Railways between 1958 and 1961 (I'm not sure of the precise date) and often used by the SVR when, as now, lengthy dry conditions mean that steam operations on the line have to be significantly limited.
