Would be nice to have a govt that even just does the bare minimum of saying these people are bad instead of pandering to them

WHY CAN'T SOCIAL MEDIA JUST BE THIS STUFF ALL THE TIME smdp
News from Finland. A 9-year-old lost an especially good stick he’d had since he was 2. He hung up 20 posters. A few days later it was returned. It had been found by a 2-year-old, who wanted to keep it for herself, but her mother made her return it. She got toys, flowers and candy as a reward.

As a British person of a particular age, it’s also reminding me a lot of 90’s television. There’s a bit of Knightmare in there (as well as the board game Atmosfear). The sassiness of the Cryptmaster himself also keeps making me think of Richard O’Brien from The Crystal Maze

Silksong can afford to price itself lower because they know most players will buy it on release, as opposed to other indie game devs who have to price knowing most players will buy it on sale.

A mob of angry drunken men screaming abuse outside an asylum hotel have defended their actions, saying all they want is for women and girls to feel safe walking the streets.
From the new Private Eye, out now.

I’ve never been more embarrassed of to be English
So what should happen now is every single person who tried to intimidate this person should be named publicly online
This is vile. Local guy speaks to Sky News about the impact of asylum seekers protests. Watch what happens and share widely
