On the other site, an 18-year-old Zohran canvasser described the legendary Wallace Shawn as "the actor who plays Dr. Sturgis on Young Sheldon" which is honestly adorable

Alas, he will, and be described as an academic again.

Is drinking hemlock or an asp to the breast the quickest method of death?

As the shop will confirm, the books are carefully curated

Hi @londonreviewbookshop.co.uk could you share this. A customer of yours has lost their LRB bookshop haul.

If anyone lost a bag of books from LRB Bookshop on the Metropolitan Line between Baker St- Watford, I handed it to a cleaner when the train terminated at Watford tube station. And if you have far more followers than me, please share this status. LRB bookshop is not cheap!

I'm at Watford watching Boro perform poorly. Losing 2-0. Due to our incompetence. Sure, the ref is shite but we made the goals easy for them. Need an early goal just to lift the team and fans.

I'm recalling the 80s moniker of "Randy Andy" and how that is now nauseating

So the $20,000 humanoid robot housekeeper actually just webcams your house to a random person in a call center with an Xbox controller www.wsj.com/tech/persona... @joannastern.bsky.social

I Tried the Robot That’s Coming to Live With You. It’s Still Part Human.

1X’s Neo wants to be your housekeeper. First, it needs to be controlled by a human in your home. Cool with you?

As a Teessider who lives in London, this attitude from some Labour MPs pisses me off. Some still think London streets are paved of gold and poverty doesn't exist.

Karen Buck @queensparkkaren.bsky.social · 5d

Surely the task is to tackle inequality, low productivity and deprivation wherever they occur: north or south? London is a city of extremes: great wealth alongside extreme deprivation (come and visit Church Street for eg) and exceptional challenges. Making London worse off is in no one’s interests.

To put the size of London into even more perspective:

If all the cats in London moved to the countryside and founded a city...

...it would INSTANTLY be the second or third largest in the UK.

(Allowing for general fuzziness on "metropolitan areas")

Darren Maughan @darrenm1973.bsky.social · 6d

Yes, I remember the early-80s on Teesside. Keeping inflation down trump millions unemployed for most of the UK. Obviously, unemployment had to be concentrated and not spread equally, too.
