This particular example seems to have been given as a gift to this particular doctor though? I can't find any kind of chicanery in his procurement of it. It's cool it has gone back though where it can be probably more appreciated by people who have more ties to the culture it came from.

Noam isn't a great example of anything anymore especially since his ties to Epstein came to light. That quote could apply to himself.

This would go for nearly any medical intervention then. The amount of times patients have gone away and did their own thing with opioids, chemotherapy, cardiac medications...had one patient who sprayed GTN on their chest. It isn't a reason not to help those people, it means you help them more.

They keep calling him a 'legal advisor' I can think of many other words for him but if he is where you get your legal advice from and that's what anyone is listening to, god help us all.

Yep it's pretty insane that membership in any of the main unionist parties goes hand in hand with being an order member, no issues at all there. It's infuriating how it is being treated like it means nothing to let them parade when really we should be working towards reducing its relevance in NI.

There is so little recognition that the Orange Order's entire one existence is as a sectarian organisation. As has been put time and time again, who would tolerate any organisation like that marching anywhere? It's explicit in their history and conduct.

I understand what your saying, but the Orange Order are fundamentally an anti-Catholic organisation, created to promote Protestant ascendancy. Should a white nationalist organisation be permitted whether by courts or not to parade through a black neighbourhood?

would they have had to be finished by 9.30 anyway? If they tried later on today would that have been against what was allowed.

Yep I can remember having to go to the record store to buy tickets, also sometimes if the venue is open during the day you can go buy then as well.

Last week, the Barbakan owner plead poverty to Andy Burnham and all the hospitality places in Chorlton and Manchester backed her up. It turns out her Dad is extracting millions in retirement. There is no poverty, just bad financial planning. www.reddit.com/r/manchester...

I understand that but I think I'm more concerned by the lack of comment from the government on all of it. They were more vocal about PA in the lead up to their proscription. I kinda feel the likes of Danny Tommy etc are being fairly explicit in their aims and intentions.
120
Joe Ward @riverseo.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
I don't agree that PA met anywhere near the need for proscription and at least in my view these FR Groups have been far more organised than PA and a bigger threat to the peace and little in comparison to PA, seems to be being talked about by the govt in regards them.

Joe Ward @riverseo.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
Choosing which actions are worthy of proscription would come down to a political belief though and what elements of the law you then choose to apply compared to some groups we are now dealing with. Long way of saying I don't think the law has ever been politically neutral.

Joe Ward @riverseo.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
Could you not argue that the proscription of PA has already put the law to a certain world view and a very online one at that? I at least remember the government commenting on PA actions before doing something. That would seem a political choice and application of the law.

I fully understand why people like them and I don't have kids myself but I do also see them maybe create anxiety in the parents (I've not had an update yet is everything ok) Maybe once a kid is 16 there needs to be a discussion about turning off location sharing and the like as a right of passage.

This starts very early now though. My brother gets daily updates about my niece in nursery. People are monitoring how their teens are spending their allowance through banking apps. It's probably harder to give up that level of monitoring than it's ever been, though necessary to give up.

I'm thinking it's probably trying to get a plan in place ahead of any Reform government.

I think maybe back in the day the different consoles capabilities affected the choices you made in how the game looked. N64 could do some things the PS1 couldn't and vice versa. That was probably true up until PS3 days. Now all consoles are PCs they aren't that different tech wise.

Joe Ward @riverseo.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
So you naturally only look at the games you are more certain to like- so every year is a good year generally

Joe Ward @riverseo.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
Could it be you could feasibly watch 100 movies in a year but you can only maybe complete a smaller number of games. You are more careful of the games you select to play because of bigger upfront investment and you take less chances on stuff you may not like.

I feel like this applies to physical health questionnaires. I feel like there is a difference when the questionnaire is completed by the patient themselves versus me administering it and emphasising the time frame more.

Yeah it doesn't make a lot of sense. Plus they only design them specifically in best form to run....can it run and do a jump at the end or go make a sandwich that would be more impressive.

I've always assumed that the show must time the questions to make sure the mix between long and short ones is fair across all the contestants. She got a decent number wrong for her specialist subject. You need to be hitting at least 10 or more in it (not that I would do better!)

All relative? I think similar with tennis watching a slam, oh this person ranked 140th in the world is terrible but then you remember there are only 139 players better than this person in the whole world but they get seen as a nobody!

Dunluce Castle! Not too far from the Causeway. Shame you just missed the Fleadh in Belfast but always next year. St Georges Market in Belfast is also pretty good. The John Hewitt or Duke of York for a drink.

I felt like it was deeply confused about what it wanted to be and the resolution felt a bit tacked on and a bit out of nowhere. There were fun moments though and their school in the past segments was my school so that was fun to see.

Benito's in Chorlton is actually a good use of a bar/food/cafe combo with social activities on the go in the evening.

Joe Ward @riverseo.bsky.social · 16/08/2026
Agree I think it's important to have a kinda low expectations place where you might get to know a few people from turning up regularly. Not many cafes are like the one in Friends, they are often just get your food and drink then leave. Even ones which allow people to work have limits in place.

I suppose discoverability becomes worse. How would an AI recommend a less well known piece of art over something from someone more established? (Though this is a perennial problem!) There is less chance of random discovery? No getting a link to a new site and seeing something new you might like
