Some of you really need to step away from the news and go out and get some fresh air or something. It's not healthy to be constantly immersed in and drowning in horrors. Go and fuss a cat or pet a dog, for the sake of your sanity.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open 'just to do quick research'
![You’ve got super fans pausing and zooming in on individuals frames of your documentary. One allegedly shows one of the Duffers with a ChatGPT tab open on their computer. In your presence, what did they use ChatGPT for?
I mean, are we even sure they had ChatGPT open?
I’m personally not, but the internet seems sure.
Well, there’s a lot of chatter where [social media users] are like, “We don’t really know, but we’re assuming.” But to me it’s like, doesn’t everybody have it open, to just do quick research?
I do.
How can you possibly write a storyline with 19 characters and use ChatGPT, I don’t even understand.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7t2urmt3i33jl6tjgiolio6g/bafkreidw2tmcr2ayq74oqmjm5pn2tdox6hlxnpqevhuqqj6oa7nsslx3oi@jpeg)

UK based analogue 3 or 6sp C-line or better. Medium or (ideally) Short. Not a Tall certainly.
I haven't got a huge amount of cash but will consider anything up to £800.

Meanwhile Cymru has been robbed of billions in Barnett funding by Westminster classifying English projects as “England and Wales”.
And this is why Labour barely scrapes 10% in the polls in a nation which it has dominated - and taken for granted - for a century.
We’ve had enough of this shit.

The folks at More In Common found 2/3 of Brits are WRONG about immigration…
But are we really? Or do we just mean 2 different things when we talk about immigration?

'This year, one of the aims of the conservation charity will be to make people feel more at ease in its grand houses and, where practical, allow them to sit on historic chairs and use libraries and reading rooms rather than simply peer into them.' Excellent initiative.
