I would absolutely destroy on this. But also, Netflix would need like a 24 episode series 🤷

I accidentally attended a subtitled screening of a film last night and honestly loved it! I wish there were more subtitled screenings.

Many BN(O) families in Warrington are worried about sudden rule changes. They’ve contributed so much to our town. My ask in Parliament was simple: keep the pathway stable and honour the commitments already made.

This is one of the most confusing articles I've read. Pizza Hut is to close 68 resturants, with over 1200 employees possibly losing their jobs 😢 But Pizza Hut just bought Pizza Hut, saving 64 restaurants, and saving over 1300 jobs 👏 What did I just read? 🙃

Kinda wild Apple will kick ICEBlock out of the App Store on safety grounds but the Saudi government app that lets men track women (their “property”) and control their travel is fully allowed even after the Human Rights Watch AND members of the Senate begged them to ban it.

My statement on the Manchester Yom Kippur Attacks.

I am sickened by the horrific terrorist attack at Heaton Park Synagogue in Manchester today.

To target people at prayer on Yom Kippur is vile and cowardly. My deepest condolences go to the families of those who have lost loved ones, and my thoughts are with those who are seriously injured.

This has shaken our whole region. I know members of the Heaton Park congregation, and my heart goes out to them and to the wider Jewish community who are living in fear and grief this afternoon.

There is no place for antisemitism. There is no place for terrorist violence. Ever.

I want to thank the police and emergency services for their swift and courageous response.

No one should ever feel unsafe walking into their synagogue, mosque, church, gurdwara, temple, or any other place of worship.

We must all stand together against hate.

Take out the trash day. Put out all your headlines on a Friday so that newspapers only have so much space to write a story and they can't cover all the stories in detail. Seems like that's what Microsoft did today except everything is online and half the articles are written and published by AI 🙃

The treadmill screening of ‘THE LONG WALK’ took place, where every person had to walk on a treadmill faster than 3MPH for the whole movie. If they stopped, they were escorted out of the theater.

It’s wild that the UK has passed a law requiring Reddit and Wikipedia to age verify users. The law was framed as protecting children from online pornography but seems to have greatly expanded its scope as all such laws do.

Do we still need stories about an aspirational immigrant who's so devoted to his adopted country that he regularly puts himself in danger to help even those who fear and distrust him, and who's primary antagonist is an egotistical tech billionaire? Yes, fucking obviously. You numpties.

My Xbox Series X has been making a loud noise for a couple of weeks. I took it apart to clean and it didn't fix it. Ordered a new fan from @ifixit.com and solved the problem. Also, doing this does not void a warranty... Not that my launch day Series X is within warranty 😂
