depdawginim.bsky.social @depdawginim.bsky.social · 24/09/2026For DVDs there’s loads of stuff in charity shops that’s not on streaming (and never will be). For CDs, after 20 years of lossy streaming and mp3s, the difference can be astonishing. 010
depdawginim.bsky.social @depdawginim.bsky.social · 16/09/2026The bbc tried this in the early 2000s but it went a bit sideways (prob due to presence of cameras): www.bbcprisonstudy.orgbbcprisonstudy.orgWelcome to the official site for the BBC Prison Study. Home - The BBC Prison Study 000
depdawginim.bsky.social @depdawginim.bsky.social · 25/08/2026GCSEs and A-levels long ceased be a (nominally) impartial measure of ability, with overall results becoming a KPI that schools have to meet as a matter of survival. Now it’s universities’ turn with this fuckery. 020
depdawginim.bsky.social @depdawginim.bsky.social · 25/08/2026In our city the ‘elite’ research -led university now takes as many undergraduate students as the ex-poly. 000
depdawginim.bsky.social @depdawginim.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Like Glassman is too (self) important to wear id. The civil servants wear ids. He doesn’t like civil servants and he assumes lanyards must be unique to them. 040
depdawginim.bsky.social @depdawginim.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Just a weird own goal phrase by people who are too high-and-mighty to need an id when they go in a staffed building. 150
depdawginim.bsky.social @depdawginim.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Planning permission comments are also a problem. They publish your address (not name) under the comment, which i think discourages pro-comments for all but the most banal applications. 000
depdawginim.bsky.social @depdawginim.bsky.social · 12/08/2026The modern-day SDP is exactly aligned with this, minus the cultural fash stuff. They enter a lot of candidates for GE and get a few hundred votes. 110
depdawginim.bsky.social @depdawginim.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Even using TikTok as evidence is baffling. A few videos of women glowing up their mobility aids is just disabled people doing content, it absolutely doesn’t follow that its evidence of them faking a disability! 000
depdawginim.bsky.social @depdawginim.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Sadly the people this is aimed at will all be like ‘Yeah! I’ve seen that too!’. In the long run i suspect this is the beginning of a campaign to make disabled people provide evidence before using accessible facilities or requests for adjustments. 010
depdawginim.bsky.social @depdawginim.bsky.social · 27/07/2026It’ll be a no-show job, probably funded by some yank weirdos. He’ll just have to answer his emails, and turn up once every year to give the same lecture. Research Fellow! 000
depdawginim.bsky.social @depdawginim.bsky.social · 26/07/2026Did Burnham get planning permission first. 100
depdawginim.bsky.social @depdawginim.bsky.social · 26/07/2026Translation: this is where i park my car. 010
depdawginim.bsky.social @depdawginim.bsky.social · 26/07/2026Its also house prices. The car park is apparently free except between 12-2, so prob adds 5% or so to house values in the vicinity. 100
depdawginim.bsky.social @depdawginim.bsky.social · 23/07/2026Bad luck Tom, obv that guy is gonna wreck everything hood about the Blazers so you’re probably best off out in the long run. Hornets should definitely pick you up now! 000
depdawginim.bsky.social @depdawginim.bsky.social · 19/07/2026I think he's more like the gang bosses son, who at 40 still believes he works in the garbage removal/vending machine business. 021

depdawginim.bsky.social @depdawginim.bsky.social · 19/07/2026I know teachers and tradespeople who have do this sort of thing, and have no other financial option. Also people with high incomes and with disabled kids, but who wouldn’t dream of outsourcing their parenting like this. Each to their own i guess. 000

depdawginim.bsky.social @depdawginim.bsky.social · 30/06/2026Had them in our area for months; they’re fine, noone gives a shit. You’re campaigning for the sake of content creation. 000
depdawginim.bsky.social @depdawginim.bsky.social · 21/06/2026They just opened a Sainsbury’s local near my parents’ estate, alongside a new housing development. First shop to open within two miles of the area, and - needless to say - the local reaction hasn’t been positive! 230
depdawginim.bsky.social @depdawginim.bsky.social · 21/06/2026Accusations of profit-hoarding always seem to cut through on both sides of the political divide.. 110
depdawginim.bsky.social @depdawginim.bsky.social · 21/06/2026I always go on that cost of living/median wage comparison site when we go away to Southern Europe, and it’s usually similar prices for about half-2/3rds the wages. 010
depdawginim.bsky.social @depdawginim.bsky.social · 21/06/2026There is a passage in Dr Zhivago where even by 1919, the Bolsheviks were still convinced that all the starvation was because of ‘hoarding’ by class enemies. It seems to me rooted in a crude form of mercantalist thinking, rather than anti-semitism. 020
depdawginim.bsky.social @depdawginim.bsky.social · 04/06/2026Yeah the 2000s South Yorkshire Police force were just way too woke, lol. 010
depdawginim.bsky.social @depdawginim.bsky.social · 03/06/2026I’ve been hearing the ‘police are woke now’ argument in my family for at least 2 years now. It is no longer a niche view. 020
depdawginim.bsky.social @depdawginim.bsky.social · 29/05/2026Before LLMs i would have said most coding is easyish / time-consuming. Having said that i’ve known lots of tech-literate people who are totally scoobied by it. 010
depdawginim.bsky.social @depdawginim.bsky.social · 23/05/2026Doncaster also has a reform-led council 😂 010
depdawginim.bsky.social @depdawginim.bsky.social · 21/05/2026Ganash sounds like one of these weird centrists who think that Labour’s path to salvation is either doing more austerity policies, or maybe nothing of any substance at all. 010
depdawginim.bsky.social @depdawginim.bsky.social · 21/05/2026Pauly Ormerod dumping his dogs playing snooker picture at the Tate, and expecting a free luncheon voucher for his troubles. 080
depdawginim.bsky.social @depdawginim.bsky.social · 19/05/20261986: its a massive corruption scandal cos the flats were never built. 2026: look they built a load of flats, it’s corruption! 000
depdawginim.bsky.social @depdawginim.bsky.social · 19/05/2026Nowadays you can make big claims about al this normal run of the mill stuff being corruption, ‘a scam’, etc, and people just lap it up. 000
depdawginim.bsky.social @depdawginim.bsky.social · 17/05/2026Its an interesting economic model where you respond to falling custom by doubling and tripling your prices, as has happened in central Sheffield. The underground one on Arundel Gate has gone through 3 owners since Covid, and now stinks of piss. 000
depdawginim.bsky.social @depdawginim.bsky.social · 10/05/2026Solar in the uk seems much better suited to household generation, whereas thats pretty useless for apartment-dwelling Spaniards. My own plan is to get about 25 panels up soon-ish and fill the house with infrared heaters. 000
depdawginim.bsky.social @depdawginim.bsky.social · 09/05/2026The venial sin of Thatcherism was politicising our (inevitable) deindustrialisation. The mortal sin was massive centralisation and over-regulation of people We Don’t Trust. Now people rely on national govt to fix everything everywhere - the politics of 70s third-worldists. 020
depdawginim.bsky.social @depdawginim.bsky.social · 09/05/2026Theres huge currency in UK politics for govts (prospective or incumbent) to make a show of discipling local govts. So you end up with Pickles stopping councils producing monthly newsletters, or trying to stop councils creating cycle/bus lanes (when the money came from central govt in first place!). 010
depdawginim.bsky.social @depdawginim.bsky.social · 09/05/2026If you look up your local Reform hopeful on Facebook without logging in, and then scroll down to the ‘recommended content’, you’ll get a good approximation of what these people are seeing each day. Then of course there’s their Whatsapp… 020
depdawginim.bsky.social @depdawginim.bsky.social · 09/05/2026Oh sure, hence the abiding love for cash payments. A few will form LLCs though for the legal protections, and will have to pay a little corporation tax. 010
depdawginim.bsky.social @depdawginim.bsky.social · 09/05/2026My own unscientific and unoriginal hunch is that the ‘traditional’ white working class they covet now mostly work in small trades operations and SMEs, where the political atmosphere and voting incentives are very different. 130
depdawginim.bsky.social @depdawginim.bsky.social · 04/05/2026This will make the next family Sunday dinner a bit awkward. 0150
depdawginim.bsky.social @depdawginim.bsky.social · 03/05/2026On the plus side, if we all get our holidays cancelled this year then thats a shit ton of money to put into getting solar panels (of course many will put it towards a new fancy petrol car instead). 020
