This is like an actual request for help, how do I be less tired

Finn @finnob.bsky.social · 20h
I am so tired, like the maximum number of tired is how I feel right now, no one knows how brave I am by not sleeping at my desk

Look I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or not but I finally got some cough medicine and I haven’t coughed once since I took it. Gross but effective apparently

Idk but there’s a certain dark irony in how since I’ve booked my flu vaccine, I’ve been to ill to function and spent almost all of my week lying down

Well, I for one am an economist who supports rent controls! Here’s why 🧵: Markets only work well if: -buyers & sellers have roughly equal power -producers respond to price signals & expand supply in response to scarcity -buyers can walk away if prices get too high

Redefine defence spending! Economic equality, international aid, combating fake news are all national defence.

Scrapping the triple lock is such bad politics because it’ll disproportionately affect poor pensioners and push them to reform, unless you amend it so that poor pensioners don’t lose out in which case you’ve got the negative headlines but without any cost savings

I don’t think the man who thought the simpsons rake meme was a threat of violence is temperamentally capable of being NI secretary, I hope I’m wrong

Just to fully underline how spiteful this shit is for those unaware: On the left is the route the Orange Order have been ordered to take for the past 3 decades without trouble. On the right is the route that has brought hundreds of cops to Drumcree. The only motivation is sectarian antagonism.

If I joined a peaceful protest the government didn’t approve of, I’d be a terrorist and lose my citizenship because I’m technically eligible (through a long and convoluted process) for citizenship of a place I’ve never been

It’ll also increase demand for petrol/diesel, driving up prices when there’s already a global shortage. £5b could (roughly, back of an envelope) reduce passenger rail fares by about 40%

Gays are allergic to overhead lighting because you'll walk into their house and they'll have all the lights turned off, blinds shut, only a single lit candle in the room and they'll say "omg I'm sorry it's so bright in here"
