Kind of astonished how well Mew-Genics is doing given that it's spent the last 15 years giving every indication of being vaporware and that at no point during that time did it ever sound like a game that anyone would want to play, but fair play to them
The hottest indie game is about breeding cats with ADHD and dyslexia

It’s been a long road to release for Mewgenics developers Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel.

Not sure if the correct response to this sign is "Well that's told them!" or "That's reassuring and helpful to know", but either way I'm off for a dip, brb

Big respect to @todoist.com - got a receipt for $35 annual sub to their app that I bought in 2022 and then forgot about. Not only could I cancel in one click, but I got a full refund instead of being tied to another 12 months of a service I never use. Finally, an ADHD friendly cancellation policy!

starting to feel like there's a direct relationship between the growing obsession with lifestyle hygeine (no drinking, no caffeine, no sex, obsessive working out and looksmaxxing) and the inability to meaningful moral stands on issues of actual import
Cafes across the U.S. are embracing the low- and no-caffeine lifestyle, with options that are a far cry from dusty tea bags and rewarmed decaf. nyti.ms/3XKlqoj

The PM was speaking to the public in Hertfordshire about the cost of living - he earlier met his cabinet in London and thanked them for backing him.

I have something I call The Harry Redknapp Rule, which goes thus: if someone is caught, by fluke, doing something wildly, intricately illegal - in Redknapp's case, placing dodgy cash in a Monaco bank account in his dog's name - then it is vanishingly unlikely that this is their first such crime.
Do we think that a) Epstein is the only person Mandy was doing favours for? and b) Mandy is the only one doing favours for people?
Do we?

All depends if they win a title, really. If they do, it'll be taken as definitive proof of timeless genius. If they don't, this era will be an easily glossed-over postscript to what's already an extraordinary legacy.
As the Adrian Newey era at Aston Martin begins, will this be the era to define his entire legacy? #F1

Made over £10 through this today which, to be entirely real, is much more money than I ever dreamed of making thru my music
I tend not to talk about it too much on main, but seeing as it's #BandcampFriday it would be remiss not to mention that you can digitally download the full catalogue of my ramshackle indie outfit @jadednoonwives.bsky.social (album + 6 non-album singles) for roughly the price of a decent pint.

Not Slough, Doncaster. Not too southern, not too northern, best transport links in the country, easy for MPs wherever they're based to get to/from constituencies with minimum fuss
How about this - new parliament building and government center in Slough, including Pm residence. Change parliament into a tourist and museum center.
