I try to be tolerant of other people's political views, but I probably will be unfriending anyone who votes Reform.
I'm sorry, but we just won't get on. 🚮

Does anyone else have this thing happen where your phone says it has 4G or 5G signal, but it totally doesn't and nothing connects?
I feel like I'm being lied to. 😬
Those little bars of lies. 📶

Ok, this is such a middle aged thing, but...
My washing machine has a 3:40 cycle, or a 49 minute quick cycle, why doesn't it have something in between? You know, when you're in a moderate rush? Has no one invented a washing machine where you can say "ok, I've got 2 hours, do your thing"?

This was the first test that had many trans people worried the Greens would fold. That they didn't is an excellent sign and a rare show of actual support for trans people from a political party that isn't just empty words.

🚨 NEW | Anti-trans hate group "Green Women's Declaration" have been formally barred from Green Party conference.
The group sought a stall at conference, but their bid was denied by the party. Green leader Zack Polanski recently affirmed the party's support for trans rights.

If "voluntary work" is a precondition to access certain rights as a citizen, then it's not voluntary, it's just unpaid labour.
There's another name for that.

The major political parties, broadcasters, and institutions should all leave X.
It's an extremely dangerous disinformation machine, and staying there only legitimises it and the chaotic agenda of the richest man in the world.

I love how Starmer says the BritCard is going to be free.
If an online service is "free" - you, and your data, are the product.

So as part of my day job I regularly have to check people's right to be in the UK, via a UK passport, or an eVisa/share code.
These are legal requirements.
Anyone saying we need online ID so we can verify who has a right to be in the UK is lying to you. We already do that. They are lying.

As it happens, if you want to see it, it’s on in London currently for a limited period at the Seven Dials Playhouse.
"Jock Night is both a love letter to queer nightlife and a raw, unfiltered snapshot of the people who live within it. Hilarious, horny, and full of heart, this is a night worth having."

Seeing this tomorrow night! It might be a bit like spending Saturday night at work, given the topic, but it sounds like it's a great production and exploration of some important themes. Very much enjoying the "hilarious, horny, and full of heart" review quote! That's just what we like!
