Just been advised by Anglian Water that the water pressure here will be lower as demand is high and asking that all residents only use water for drinking and washing. Looking forward to seeing how much the execs bonuses are this year.

Well it looks like @vodafonegroup.bsky.social are having a shit time. Outage on Tuesday. Broadband totally unreliable since. No word from the company about why or when they're going to fix it, and can't report it as the online portal is down. Do better. #vodafone #shite #tech

from today's post, on MAGA’s sad but predictable embrace of Dear Leader's concentration camps — please read the whole thing, thanks! link is here: bit.ly/3TTttwV (and as always, there's a longer excerpt in the alt text)
there are no heroes in the Republican Party. none.

you would like to think that after the opening of America’s newest concentration camp, at least one elected Republican would stand up and say ‘what the fuck are we doing here?’

but nope, no sirree, that ain’t what’s happening. Republicans are embracing this abomination, and falling all over each other in a mad dash to see who can crank the cruelty dial so far past eleven that it snaps off in their hands.

here are some word-adjacent noises that seeped out of Dear Leader’s rancid anus-mouth the other day, after a reporter asked him if he planned on franchising his Trumpcentration camps.

“well, I think we’d like to see them in many states, really, many states. this one, I know Ron’s doing a second one, at least a second one, and probably a couple of more. and, you know, at some point, they might morph into a system where you’re going to keep it for a long time.”

oh goody. in a hundred years we’ve gone from ‘a chicken in every pot’ to ‘a concentration camp in every state.’

the Republican Party is way ahead of you, bro. they’re already hard at work bringing the concept of extra-legal confinement to their own jurisdictions.

oh look, our nation’s self-appointed Bathroom Panty Inspector has sniffed out a brand-new opportunity to call attention to herself.

The problem is not that there are too many Americans protesting in the streets. The problem is that there are not enough. Not by a long shot.

So you’re saying we could solve all the financial problems of 379 million of us and impact just 19 households. What an interesting fact. Fun little bit of trivia.

the fact that Earth's outer core is liquid is the reason why our planet has a magnetic field. Earth's core is made of a molten mix of nickel and iron, and the convection in it causes a flow of charge. the result is a geodynamo, generating magnetism that keeps us safe from hazardous cosmic particles

More welfare cuts as MPs get a 2.8% pay rise, no taxation of the rich or large corporations and blatant cronyism, but it's quite alright to shaft the section of the population that are living on, or below, the poverty line. Well done @teamlabouruk.bsky.social for not giving a flying fuck!

Ministerial pensions & expenses are a drain on the treasury. So, if MPs need to take money from the poor, MPs pensions, salaries & expenses should also be cut. Cut by the same percentage for all future, current & former MPs. When MPs cut public spending, their own rewards should be cut in line.

Imagine a business making large profits. Imagine them paying staff minimum wage even though they could pay more. Imagine staff claiming benefits to supplement low wages. Imagine business owners not paying taxes but also demanding benefit cuts. Don't imagine... That is the UK.

If you’re afraid to ask for help or get a little help, let this be your sign. I haven’t needed an antidepressant in 8 years, but I’m restarting them today. Sometimes mental health needs a little extra support to heal during rough times like a bad knee does after too much wear & tear.
