The most severe category of homelessness (sleeping rough, hostel accom) has surged by 21% in the UK since 2022 - impacting 300,000 families and individuals.
This country is one big disgusting joke. How anyone could feel anything but shame about Britain astonishes me.

The two previous series of Prehistoric Planet were brilliant, and this new one looks absolutely stunning. The effects work is insane, Hiddleston is a very worthy successor to Attenborough, and as a nerd some Cenozoic love is well overdue.

Glad to see other leftists waking up to the fact that Corbyn is useless and easily compromised. Better seven years late than never.
Your Party being effectively usurped by his limited company and his socially conservative mates is disappointing, but not surprising.

Nobody who thinks politics can exist in a neat convenient vacuum is serious about politics.
Fewer still get the scope of why this actually matters either. Eurovision is the biggest live broadcast non-sports event in the world. Israel wants it on their land.

Eurovision has never been about politics, says BBC boss Tim Davie
The director general says the corporation is "aware of the concerns" around Israel's participation.

I honestly don't know how I'd never seen this before. It spoke to me and has stuck with me every moment since. The sort of rare film that a day ago I only knew by name, and now I seriously think it's in consideration for my all time top ten. The cast, the story, the themes... just wow.
A ★★★★★ review of Good Will Hunting (1997)
An immensely intelligent journey of vulnerability "No one could possibly understand the depths of you" How have I missed this? How has it taken nearly thirty years for me to encounter this brilliance?...

I love how in so many European languages the verb is "I made a photo", rather than the idiomatic English verb "I took a photo".
'Made' is such a nicer word in the context, about the creative act rather than the function. This photography and language nerd is all for normalising it 😅😇

You know when you look in the dictionary and a word has numerous definitions provided, that vary ever so slightly based on context?
Could you look up 'awful' and have numerous pictures of British Prime Ministers? Each one just seems to find a new and unique way of being the most 'awful'.

I wondered how a company as big as Google could have such flimsy security measures, but then I remembered I also have Meta refusing to shut down an account impersonating me, redistributing my photos, and using my name bar one omitted letter.

I somehow love film, and also did an English degree, and still hadn't seen this film. Course-corrected, and it was decent, but based on what others had said I guess I was also a bit underwhelmed.
