The paradox of being old: you can’t hear what anyone is saying anymore yet the audio at the cinema is painfully loud.

The pettiness of councils knows no limit.

I understand why people don’t let their kids roam about unsupervised all day any more, but I don’t get why it’s gone to the other extreme. Worst of all other parents seem to be deeply suspicious of you if you are keen for your child to spend time with theirs. It’s infuriating.

Phones and social media etc rightly come in for a lot of criticism, but over structured free time is a really under appreciated problem. It is really damaging to children’s creative and social development. It’s infuriating because it affects all children whether you want to be part of it or not.

Great post by @richardjameschess.bsky.social highlighting some of the real problems with how we are raising our children. We’ve struggled to get our daughter the social life she needs because her peers have little time left over after their crammed schedule.

Pushy Parents and Third Spaces

There have been a couple of articles in the Guardian over the past few days touching on the subject of young people’s lives outside school.

I would think that no explanation would be needed!

Very sorry to hear that 😞

Its job creation you see. More NHS staff to deal with with liver sclerosis, more police to deal with drunken brawls…

“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”

“Because that’s what they are”

I agree with Jenrick, white people are not very good at integrating.

I thought it was pretty shady requiring users to agree not to sue them for any reason after the Hans settlement. I mean if you don't want to go get sued, how about not doing anything dodgy?

Ohhh, won't somebody please think of the children’s poverty levels and employment prospects?

At a time when new cyberattacks debilitate British businesses seemingly daily, the UK government is demanding that security is made worse for UK users.

Shame there aren’t as many developers with a grudge that want to crack Adobe and Kindle.

I'm glad Keir Starmer is finally stepping up the fight against Nigel Farage, and I hope this will mark the end of his government parroting Farage and copying his divisive politics.

I was going to vote Labour to keep Reform out, but that seems rather a pointless idea now…
