One of mine fell out yesterday when I was cycling and I had to rummage around in soggy leaves in the gutter to find it. It was grimy but survived.

What I’m hearing from my EU colleagues and friends is that they simply do not trust their data going to the US anymore and are now using EU alternatives ..also they really don’t like supporting the US political climate.

Maybe it's the use of 'mate', but i kinda felt right away there might be some flags

The Guardian @theguardian.com · 1d

My petty gripe: my coupled friends refuse to set me up with a potential mate. It’s not good enough

We’ve had our fill of the apps, and the people who know us best aren’t pulling their weight. Couples, come on now!

It’s the way to go. People are not worthless because they’re poor and as we saw in lockdown it’s many of the poorer paid jobs that are considered essential. Good luck Seattle!

In the part of NL I’m in there is a real spirit of inclusion. Poorer folk are not ghettoised instead social housing is interspersed with private accommodation and the standard of care from the local government is very high.

“So we’re gonna rename it plyland y’know anyway they gave that Nobel prize to a nobody, everyone’s been on the phone to me saying it shoulda been mine, it’s made out of plywood too Y’know those prizes, so we’re gonna make our own Trump awards, not of that antifa rubbish here”

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."
