I would go further and say that most of our political class don't see anyone who isn't rich & powerful as human. They see us as cattle to be exploited for their own gain. They seek to divide us so that we fight each other instead of focusing on them

They know exactly what they are doing. They raise interest rates so those with lots of money get lots of interest on their savings and they fund it by increasing the cost of borrowing for everyone else. It's just another mechanism to transfer wealth from the poor to the rich

It's only going to get worse now AI is getting more advanced and none of our politicians have the foresight to deal with it

Labour have caused voters apathy. They ousted the Tories to come in and continue with Tory policies. The younger generations have been offered nothing and will now not bother voting. The older generations who do and will vote have been targeted by right wing media and social media

Yep, and now they will be getting ready to take short positions so they can make more money on the way back down. Rinse and repeat.

Retail traders chase the market. It goes green & they buy. Insiders will be making money both ways they will have bought when it hit the bottom, knowing that Trump was going to pause & will be selling now. Before Trump does something else to tank the market, they will take short positions

I have 2 acoustics, 1 electric and a ukulele. 10 years, and I still haven't learnt to play them

💯 I had to watch my mum die from lung cancer at the start of November. She said she was ready to go months ago but had to endure the suffering because there was no other choice. People should be allowed to die with dignity

Bleurgh

I'm currently playing through the Yakuza series for the first time after playing like a dragon and infinite wealth. It's a brilliant series

I am in awe. It's a ludicrously difficult trophy. I long ago accepted that no matter how much i love the games, i will never beat ffix jump rope and ffx lightning strikes

I just got to the greenhouse, and so far It is everything I was hoping for after book 1. I love the storytelling in these games. My 10 year old is currently playing book 1, and he loves it too

Moss is a beautiful game. I've just started book 2. It's one of the reasons I finally caved and got a meta quest

🤣 I am not

Scrolling through bluesky thinking, isn't it nice to be able to scroll without being bombarded with endless racism and boo.. ffs Fran 🤣

Spill the tea, Jim. Don't leave us hanging
