It turns out, what3words has serious problems with homophones, plurals, dialects, anyone for whom English isn't their first language, or anyone with a vocab less than 40k words. Indeed, UK rescuers have been warning against it's use for years... www.bbc.co.uk/news/technol...

Rescuers question what3words' use in emergencies

Makerfield is the third constituency to be having a by-election on 18th June. Makerfield was created as constituency in 1983. The biggest part of the new seat came from the former Ince constituency. That said, the town of Ince was only in Makerfield constituency between 1997 and 2010.

Bluesky should not get into this idea that blocking you is a problem. You can be blocked for any reason. You can be blocked because your pfp is annoying. You can be blocked because your vibe sucks. If you take this personally I think that’s also a reason you can be blocked.

We have already moved on from restricting future migration to proposing mass expulsions of people already here, so it seems optimistic to think reducing numbers will improve the standard of our political debate. All that’s likely to happen is the demands of the far right get ever more extreme
