I know it is a small thing in the scheme of things, but the thing that grates is that this (gestures expansively) demonstrates that every pious word we have read from Americans about their glorious constitution, free and fearless press, separation of powers, free speech, checks and balances has

It is funny that the symbols for our time emerged which we didn't have or need before but now couldn't do without: hot dog guy, the leopards, milkshake duck, Torment Nexus, the political parties one (Wow!, Friendship is Magic, Citizen's Forum)

Sometimes I think we should probably look at our policy of sort of stochastically killing sex criminals as a sentence. But I'm not sure anyone will particularly care enough.

this tipped me off to londoncentric.media and, boy, their stuff is really good even if you don't particularly care for London. Why? Because it's laser-focused on *the money* - who is getting paid and how for various aspects, especially the shady ones, of urban life.

Reading @londoncentric.media and reflecting on how everything wrong with Britain can be seen through Deliveroo:
- much of the economy is fraudulent
- people don’t go outside
- workers are underpaid and insecure
- the immigration system is broken
- society is being eroded by Big Tech

I adore London&fully agree on Dubai, but the author‘s criticism of Paris& Berlin is a joke. French political turmoil is bad is it? Have you watched UK news since 2014? German trains are slow? Thank God for the sound state of UK Infrastructure.
Love you 🇬🇧. But ditch the superiority complex. Please.

I personally don't think parkrun should have taken government funding, I doubt the infrastructure costs that much to run, surely the sponsorship should cover that? And individual parkruns have to pay their one start up costs.

There's only one real solution to social care if you don't want to raise taxes or continue with high levels of immigration, admittedly they had a private members bill for it but if it's not government policy it's not going to cut through.
