One day I'll get out of the habit of checking dev tools when a website doesn't work. I don't think being able to see the many ways the cross country trains website is broken is helping my irritation levels (which are already pretty high from having to faff with split save to make it affordable) ๐คฌ

Started my gig year with mesmerising experimental folk by Haress in Bishops House. Amazing gig, I'll definitely be going to more Sonido Polifonico shows in future, though I may take their advice to bring a cushion next time.

I think Transactual put it best (in reference to the girl guides) and now Labour too: "There is no problem being solved here, only harm being done." All to appease the right, who hate them anyway - shame on them.

Today the news will be about the government's proposals for juries. Please read this thread so as to be informed about the actual practical problems in the criminal justice system - problems which will not be solved by this misconceived and illiberal tinkering.
