Pubs, more than anything, are a social hub. As someone that doesn't drink my experience tells me that some pubs are great at accommodating those that don't drink, others not so much. People will go where they feel welcome, which is affordable and convenient and that might not be a pub.

I notice the potential for harm is a big factor for girls not going out drinking, unsurprisingly. So really this just shows pubs,etc, opening longer won't really achieve much.

Interesting that he points out how reported figures for what they got paid are wrong, but doesn't say what he got paid. If you're going to take a bag of cash from a regime at least be honest about it.

Don't really see how this benefits pubs,etc, if people aren't going to them because they can't afford to then it doesn't matter whether the pub shuts at midnight or 3 in the morning.

In the Mouth of Madness really is up there with John Carpenter's best films. Manages to be both a meta commentary on horror, especially H.P Lovecraft and Stephen King, but also a very good eldritch horror film. Sam Neil in arguably his best role. Everything just works brilliantly.

Reminds me of this classic story of the couple that had a garden ornament that was actually a live shell from a Royal Navy gunship. www.bbc.com/news/uk-wale...

Milford Haven: Garden ornament turns out to be live bomb

Sian and Jeffrey Edwards had always assumed the 64lb naval shell in their garden was a "dummy".

Horrific reporting from the AP on the Myanmar families watching their kids starve to death from Trump and Musk’s aid cuts apnews.com/article/myan...

Starving children screaming for food as US aid cuts unleash devastation and death across Myanmar

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has repeatedly said “no one has died" because of his government’s decision to gut its foreign aid program.

When I moved into the apartment I used to live in I basically had no friends in the area and no social life. The place had a private FB group for residents. I made a post to see if anyone was interested in board games. Over 2 years later we still meet up pretty much every week.

Has anything great happened in your life because of social media?

One of my friends always gets cranky if I post anything political in the group chat because they "don't do politics". Our different backgrounds and lived experience have never been more obvious and it makes me laugh.

I wondered why I didn't recognise half of these and then realised it's because they haven't been released where I am. Waiting for a film to get a general release like.......

Graffiti in town. No idea who the artist is but I think it's excellent.

Clearly it's the hot ticket in town. Well done.

Not exactly surprising to see the media machine whirring into action because there's someone suggesting the radical idea of making things less shit for people.

I picked up Hades after a friend recommended it. The presentation, art design and voice acting is top notch stuff. I can see why the game created such a buzz.

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

One of the more incredible stories out of LA this year has been how a taco review blog became the best on-the-ground coverage of ICE raids in the city.

They do a dispatch every day, follow-up on the kidnapped people (which almost no media outlet has done), and fact-check government claims.

@lataco.bsky.social first began as a blog documenting local Mexican cuisine. Now, it’s an essential reporting powerhouse to the city as Trump’s mass deportation plot unfolds.

Loving how the guy posted an apology jpeg then followed it up with that 'we won. Fuck you losers' post. That's some real personal growth there.

Just watched Let The Right One In for the first time. I don't think I've seen a film as profoundly powerful in its subtlety. An extraordinary story of friendship, found family and love.

In town there's this area that frequently gets redone by graffiti artists. The whole thing is vibrant and chaotic and I love it. I take photo's when I'm headed that way.

I know I've seen this but I can't even remember what it is. I love the harmonica interpreter.

This is just blatant angry racist in the pub talk. The fact it's just business as usual for Honest Bob Jenrick indicates just how subteranean the standards are now.

That's actually amazing. Not for him obviously.
