Peeps.
Let's not get into arguments between people on foot and cycling.
Yes some are nobs, but divide and conquer is exactly what the drivist lot want.

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

Alright, more adultier adults and green-fingered people. North facing garden in a terrace house. Absolute no-no? Even if the property is otherwise ideal?

We are not, & never will be, gardeners. The garden is for the dogs, drying washing, feeding birds & reading in summer.

AI will ruin the NHS. I’ve been trying to get a prescription from the GP since Monday. It’s heart medication for my daughter, nothing major 🙄 A letter was sent from her hospital doctor. I couldn’t just ring the GP. Nope, had to fill out an AI form online, then told by text it could take days… 1/

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later.

yes. Has flaws.

Bit long and the incidental music is invasive beyond the point of clumsy & will make the dialogue very hard to follow without a good home cinema rig, but a good movie.
Can see why Penn is in the Oscar running. Shattering performance.

That wasn't a plot point as such, but the screenplay was somewhat prescient when it was written. Hoo boy!
