m-rd.bsky.social @m-rd.bsky.social · 05/10/20265 mins of pure nonsense, especially the mention of Aus that quite famously has land acknowledgements & a v contentious referendum about their settler history. Genuinely woeful from a pod I enjoy 010
m-rd.bsky.social @m-rd.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Agreed, although I do really like Dulce Et Decorum Est read by Christopher Eccleston but that might be almost archetypal ohhh look at my lovely voice 020

m-rd.bsky.social @m-rd.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Similarly, I was NOT aware that regular cruise goers refer to it as cruising until my mother’s 67 yr old pal told me with great enthusiasm how much he & the wife loved it. Go cruising a couple of times a year, apparently. 1251

m-rd.bsky.social @m-rd.bsky.social · 25/09/2026As a consultant I “interview” several times a year & have a coffee or a water in all of them. Have found this entire discourse baffling. 2172

m-rd.bsky.social @m-rd.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Basically a weaponisation of social justice terminology to discredit anyone the user perceives to have privilege. I’ve seen it used to describe everyone from Arabs to East Asians & light skinned black people. It’s nearly always bullshit 100

m-rd.bsky.social @m-rd.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Agreed, the original sin of UC was the punitive nature of it after they raided it for cash in the run up to the 2015 GE, iirc 100

m-rd.bsky.social @m-rd.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Based on nothing but vibes, in the UK at least, every fucker wants to be a landlord & investing in the markets is considered akin to gambling.

m-rd.bsky.social @m-rd.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Wasn’t suggesting it was, more that as a proportion of the customer base for taxi firms, those kids are now a much larger share as other users have switched 010
m-rd.bsky.social @m-rd.bsky.social · 08/09/2026In my experience, SEND kids/their councils are now a huge customers & corporates with antiquated systems. My BiL is a brick & mortar cabbie & most his income is from his set job for a high needs little girl. Her parents also pay for extra on Saturday for her physical therapy appointments 130

m-rd.bsky.social @m-rd.bsky.social · 01/09/2026The 14 night maximum in a rolling 90 days is crazy. You basically can’t co-parent unless you add your kid to the lease (which you can’t do anyway!) 0280

m-rd.bsky.social @m-rd.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Certainly one of the worst. Like if you can’t answer the question of how do we make a vampire film with well known hot & talented actor maybe you should seek other employment.
