So, my home town is having a meltdown on social media because a 50 year old brick and concrete bus shelter is being taken down to make way for a modern replacement.
Facebook posts commenced. Several a day on the Community pages.
An online petition was started.
And now... This.

Death of Diana is the first flashbulb memory, but the Troubles were sort of ambient. I find these fascinating.

When this whole "debate" started, it was framed in terms of whether London could do without service workers, not whether service workers had built their entire lives in London.
This house tax pretending is making me more insane than usual because as a renter I’ve had to move every 1-3 years just as standard because rents always rise. And no one cares. House owners get a tiny fraction of that precarity and suddenly it’s the worst thing that’s ever happened

my take on Food Discourse is that it's always ridiculous but it's also nice to be fighting about dumb internet shit again instead of dealing with Oppressive Despair all the time so please keep posting your bad takes

Can we agree that the billionaire who coordinated a network of the most powerful and connected individuals on the planet, all built on a foundation of endemic child abuse, is the problematic "elite"? Or is it still your minimum-wage barista because they have pronouns?
