Ofcom is now consulting on cutting letter deliveries from 6 to 3 days a week.
When will they admit privatisation has failed?

I'm once again considering leaving music streaming and retuning to a physical and digital collection only. I dusted off my old iPod this year and I love using it again. it feels as if there is no model of ethical streaming and I think I'm done.

⏰ There are JUST 7 days left to stop Ofwat hiking YOUR bills to protect England’s privatised water firms.
They’ve already extracted £92 BILLION.
Bills could rise by up to 80% — you shouldn’t pay AGAIN to bail them out.
Sign the petition to stop the hikes... 👇 weownit.org.uk/act-now/stop...

Is there a cataloging website/app like Discogs but for books? Not Goodreads, that's for books read but for books owned in a way that notes their value too. I have a low-level constant fear my studio will burn down and I will lose my books and forget which ones I had (insurance proof too I guess)
