This seems bad to me (assuming not just random variation or a shit study) Cash bad! Used for illegal activities!

Can you imagine a world without constant discourse from suspect data?

Wots the deal with Indian monetary policy - are they deliberately running high inflation?

A major new report from @centreforcities.bsky.social calls for the Government to take much bolder action on reform to be sure to achieve its goal of 1.5 million new homes this Parliament! (thread)

The suitcase pile, the lack of window, the sharply sloped ceiling with smoke alarm - prisoners would live better than this.

This Claude prompt is working well for me

My bedroom has a lock but only on the outside 😳

New table!

Convinced if you showed this to someone from 2010 they would have a stroke

Dad just described the govt as: “Starmer the farmer harmer and his trotskyites” So it’s all going well.

What’s the household appliance that’s changing fast enough it’s almost worth holding off on the purchase to get a better one in a couple of years?

@andymasley.bsky.social this is the sort of content I’m asking for btw

Let's address the elephant in the room. The actors presently racing towards AGI are all US-based companies. The government being lobbied most actively to race/support racing towards AGI is the USG. China is being used as a justification for rushing forward on the most 1/2

Desperate for my enemies to write such an article about me

Not sure I can live the combi boiler life tbh. Water pressure is diabolical. Bf doing washing up destroys my shower. Etc. But I dunno if the current boiler can run to a tank, or if I need a whole new boiler (or heat pump)
