- I think the key message to get across is that the only approach that isn't full of endless weird inconsistencies and complications is what everyone's already been doing for years. I can't see there being any effective argument against that.
- Really got to keep on top of my meds, brain zaps and tearfulness again. The process for obtaining regular medication is so shit, it's hard to keep up with
- And inefficiency of said process means that despite leaving work 30 mins early the queue at the pharmacy was moving so slowly I wasn't going to get to the front in time. And so I've got another fucking two days of this before I can try again
- Found a few while tidying the kitchen thank fuck
- I struggle with the reporting on ChatGPT in education because it often confirms society’s negative bias against young people—oh no, this generation is unsaveable!—when it’s possible to just educate people to be less credulous about it. which is why I wrote this: so teachers could print and assign it

- Eww, icky
- Reform voters think you're a Chairman Mao and Tony Blair combo (derogatory). The left of the party is voting Green, independent, SNP, even Lib Dem. I know your only job was to crush the left and CONGRATS, Keir, you did it, baby! You, Morgan, Tony, Peter, your palz in print media ruddy did it!

- Same basic argument is getting pro-Palestine visa holders booted out of the US
- Only three weeks until I can't afford to buy a Nintendo Switch 2.

View full threadAnd I earn about £5k more now than then
- Still, immigrants are going to have to wait 10 years rather than 5 before being eligible for citizenship so I'm happy
- Seemed to have plenty of disposable income when the original Switch was about. Not tonnes but I could do things like pick up the Animal Crossing Switch more or less on a whim by just having a bit of a lean month or two.
- New Oasthouse end of next month! #oasthouse
- Things I would like: a plate of fried eggs; a month off work to gradually tidy the house. Neither is achievable at this moment.
- The train's full of moths
- I think I'm going to regret the pub in the morning. I'm still a long way from home.
- I'm in a pub near where professionals work and so there are professionals harshing the vibe
- Were there two other workshifts on Star Trek but the shows just focussed on one of them?
- This is solid gold observational.

- Drink one and toss the empty can in their direction to clean up
- I really, strongly, support this. It really is true that they need to hear more from us. We need to be RELENTLESS
- I was very surprised by the response from my Labour MP, was actually very supportive. A couple of points to take minor issue with but I'd expected the full party line

- They'll almost certainly be around 350-410nm if this is useful information. That green is quite a major Stoke's shift off that

- Poirots BigGarlickyCorpse does a good job with the page 1 summaries on the threads but I daresay some less well verified stuff creeps in here and there
- Can't really articulate why but I find Starmer saying, "if you can work, you should work" revolting.
- Just to revisit this point, I basically can't work. By pure luck I'm in a job I can cope with but I'd never be able to do almost every other job.

- these do seem like quaint, old-fashioned concepts now
- I've had fish and chips in the pub. Might have to be the last of the month, need to economise a bit

- One of those people who just say things that must be true because look how many people on twitter agree! On a lighter note, my 10yo daughter has started reading the Phoebe books and I've not had her sat there laughing so much at a book before :)

- Yeah, that's not the vindication he hopes it is
- Oh no, I can't do Wednesdays! The refurbed Newport Market is a good spot for you all to find something to eat afterwards though
- Supposed to have had thundery showers to water my garden today but no, I've got to do it as apparently all the world can be arsed to do is sunlight and humidity
- Oh, sounds like the US has got its very own version of our Cass Review for the tame press to coo over

- Literally looks like something from some medieval painting of hell
- I suppose in many ways the question of whether one considers oneself "neurotypical" is the same as whether one considers oneself "middle class," i.e., which is to say a lot more people would put themselves in the category than necessarily would be there from definitions and statistics alone.
- People voluntarily adopting a label they might strenuously resist if it was forced upon them

- Yeah, anything introduced via the skin is venom
- Well, not anything but y'know what I mean
- Starmer's immigration thing has the bright idea of extra tax on income from international students because the only thing that is barely propping up universities must be stopped
- Anyone's guess how the company name is said too
- Everybody on linkedin seems to love AI
- What does the 'a' in 'Cup a Soup' stand for?
