Yeah, the only way you are getting a £2m house in a rough area is if you're building some kind of armed compound.

I mean, it absolutely does, but that's probably not relevant to the conversation at hand.

I can't see any benefit to learners of requiring a proprietary app or streaming. This is purely to help publishers at the cost of our convenience, flexibility, data, battery life, and offline (and legacy!) access.

Give me a fucking MP3 you bastards.

Immigration creates jobs, supports public services, & drives growth.

These are economic facts.

How is it that the only days we *dont* have the media banging on about immigration is on the days we’re handed the budget? #r4today

Our conversation about immigration is framed entirely on Nigel Farage’s terms.
Labour has completely capitulated the ground to the far right, the racism & the hate.

We no longer have a conversation AT ALL about how we need immigration & when we cut it, we pay the price. #r4today

What if we slowly train them into liking the most embarrassing songs possible and then reveal the secret?

The cynical play here is to create a huge library of actual music, with a frontend that pretends to be a prompt entry box, and it just finds a song with vaguely similar tags. You use the subscription fees to pay the actual musicians.

Basically a reverse scam.

First off, credit where credit is due. Right at the start of their term in government Labour cancelled both the Rwanda policy and the Bibby Stockholm policy. No-one is denying that. It doesn't balance out what they have done since though I would argue. 5/

Linsey, who was wearing the jumper, has been incredibly kind and supportive, and we’ve been laughing about the incident for the last couple of days.

That's exactly what I'm trying to prevent. We need these things contained, and fast.

It is the best dolphin ever.

Still pestering @darkestkale.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy to help me make the scenario publishable!
