Okay so this is true *but* not in the way most people think. Antibiotic overuse is not “I had five ear infections in a year so I took antibiotics five times this year”
It’s
“Farmers feeding antibiotics to chicken to make them fatter and more profitable” and “labs dumping chemicals into the river”

Although in fun news from science, in some ways antibiotics kinda are causing worsening disease as our overuse deepens resistance. There are people in hospitals right now dying of bugs which would have been treatable 20 years ago. Though something tells me this is not the point being made here

We're back with a one off poll ahead of Resident Evil's 30th anniversary next month.
Rank as many mainline (see image for what counts) Resident Evil games as you wish. If you strongly dislike a game, it is better not to rank it at all.
If you need help ranking, see follow-up tweet

Watching Death of Stalin again and "Quorate? The room is only 75 percent conscious" is one of my favourite lines from anything

Referring to C2DE as a single social group has been a disaster for British political discourse
Getting increasingly irritated by people describing Reform as appealing to "working class voters" when every bit of polling suggests that's conflating low income and working class and what's actually happening is that pensioners are voting for them.

Tbf, Ed's got a lot on his plate being the new PM of Japan
I think this is right. Ed Davey is doing a marvellous job if you define his job as “win and hold as many seats as possible for the Lib Dems” and rather worse if you define it as “be the leading elected representative of Britain’s committed liberals”.

This has come up a bit, but regional identity is a bit of a different question (which we'll hope to address somewhen). Here, I wanted to solely explore the North vs South binary, plus the areas that explicitly reject it (which I had expected to be more present in Westcountry).

It's weird to poll this and not distinguish between a Midlands identity and an East Anglian identity
While some subscribe to the idea that the North begins at the Severn-Wash line, 78% of West Midlanders and 69% of East Midlanders consider themselves to be neither part of the North or South of England

Broadly agree, but those Green numbers are also... quite something for Labour
Only furthers my belief that losing Gor & Den would be terminal for the party in (specifically metro) England in the way Caerphilly seems to have been in Wales

ngl, this is quite cool, but bemused that none of the usage examples given are, y'know, people with one hand
Playing Switch 2 games with just one hand is possible thanks to Japanese peripheral maker
Gametech wants you to be able to keep one hand free for doing other things while you play.

I am learning that at least two mutuals do not associate me with swearing and I am, frankly, fucking bewildered
As someone who swears like a sailor and is generally quite vulgar, I have a weirdly intense dislike of people sticking their middle fingers up at a camera

Whilst I don’t think they’re smart enough to intentionally be doing this, does feel like Restore Britain are going to play a role in sanewashing Reform
Restore Britain challenge is a racist objection to Reform as woke, civic & too accepting of ethnic minorities with rightwing politics
