Brilliant, now make this for private landlords too......

Social landlords in England now forced to fix emergencies within 24 hours

New legal duties follow case of two-year-old Awaab Ishak, who died after exposure to mould in his own home The first phase of Awaab’s law, which promises to protect tenants from dangerous social housing conditions, comes into force in England on Monday, in memory of a two-year-old boy who died after exposure to mould in his home. The new legal duties compel landlords to fix emergency health and safety hazards within 24 hours of reporting, investigate significant damp and mould within 10 working days of being notified, make properties safe in five working days after inspection and write the findings to tenants within three working days of inspection completing.

As November approaches, never forget that the BBC pinned a poppy on Cookie Monster.

"YPRES MAKE COOKIE MONSTER SAD. NO COOKIES AT SOMME."

A middle-aged white man in a dark suit seated next to Cookie Monster. They are both wearing poppies for remembrance of WWI. I believe that Cookie was a key advisor to Field Marshal Haig.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

Sir, this is a buttie shop. Stop leering at women and then blaming them like you're in the bleeding 1800s.

Dear store owner,

I was horned up on crack-sucking leggings.

Today, my family went on a family trip to Flagstaff. We walked into a quaint sandwich shop, and a young woman approached to take our order.
She was wearing a sports bra and crack-sucking leggings.
It was the kind of outfit our grandmothers would see as lingerie.
Had I not been with my family, I would have said something like, "Ma'am, do you not know how inappropriate your outfit is? Are you not ashamed to be wearing that in public?"
So, when I got home, I wrote the owner.
This won't change until we make it change.
Make sin shameful again. Remember, shame pushes people to see their need for forgiveness—in Christ.

The privately funded ballroom will be approximately 90,000 square feet, much larger than the White House itself.

Ok we're definitely only a few months away from ChatGPT being put on a PIP by some HR department

Marcus Hutchins @malwaretech.com · 1d

The ChatGPT subreddit is absolutely hilarious. LLMs just output statistically likely responses, and a statistically likely response to being asked to do some work is "I'll have that done by...". So apparently in some cases ChatGPT had just been telling users it'll get back to them later.

A persistent insanity in political punditry is the way the left get henpecked to death by the press over the "how" of their policies, whereas the right get to just blurt out a "why" and receive a free pass on the "how" if the "why" seems compelling enough to divorced dads without visitation rights.

The Established Church needs to find a voice on this kind of dehumanising depiction of men, women and children who have come to our country, being spilled all over the place to say the only thing that has human value is a salary above £38k and thst any foreigner who ever earns less must get out
