triple lock changes seem pretty good to me, gets rid of the glitches in the policy (the lurches as high inflation followed by earnings growth) without ceding principle that the state pension should get more generous given declining private pensions

Think one thing re: third spaces that a lot of people on here (w/o kids) need to disabuse themselves of is the idea that social media is some kind of online common room for young people. It’s pretty much just one way broadcasting of short-form videos.

third spaces? oh like they have an eerie unsettling atmosphere which makes you want to listen to portishead’s 2008 album

excited that this is the week short form text based social media finally returns to its highest and most essential purpose (everyone doing live commentary of crap reality tv)

Margate looms large in the imagination of the French Riviera’s creative class: an wet seaside town that you can abscond to when things begin to look too sublimely erotic and glamorous. But the actual Margate is complicated—a real place with real problems and deep history.

Google finally updated some of its satellite images of Gaza and my god, it's horrific. The entirety of Rafah has been demolished. The majority of Khan Younis is in ruins. Entire towns completely leveled and erased of the map.

At this point, though, if someone contends they've never even heard of the Qing administrative revolution, it may say more about the person than the bureaucratic reforms. Or, for that matter, what they want to project to the world. It’s pretty difficult to still claim total ignorance on this one.

there’s apparently a submarine currently in the port but i can’t walk down to go see it because i am ill…. not to understate things but this might be the worst day of my life

looking back at the calciopoli punishments for juve as a guide for city feel like the balance was the wrong way round. the retrospective punishments were strong but inter never got to emotionally experience those titles and juve fans just count them as their title wins, illegitimately stolen, anyway

despite a few hits like the scandinoir boom and squid games it’s always interesting to me how unglobalised the tv canon is. would surely be a bit embarrassing for an equivalent films, books or music list to be basically be entirely stuff from us and uk

while flattering it is annoying how obsessed people are with copying me. especially as i organically invented getting a little coffee and a nice baked good on a saturday morning and then playing it by ear and now everywhere is really busy with people too lazy to come up with their own ideas.

Just right-clicked on my dog to view his properties but then I accidentally converted him to a PDF. Now I can't convert him back unless I sign up for a subscription. Does anyone know any free PDF-to-dog converters that aren't full of malware?

my law will make it mandatory for authors with a famous voice to narrate their own audiobooks. is an absolute disgrace that melvyn bragg has been allowed to get away with barely doing any of his. michael palin on the other hand understands what the listener craves.

of course these days we are a bit more enlightened and it’s widely understood that taylor swift is a profoundly embarrassing commercial enterprise aimed at children, so it can be hard to put yourself in the mindset of someone from a distant society with hugely different cultural norms such as 2023
