For anyone wondering why a slim majority of us decided for Brexit. We need Full Fact. And they need the budget of a small country. Because engagement driven. Social media is so good at its job, and informing you truthfully is not part of it.

Happy to have the biggest and most amount of trees in our small garden. We get wildlife we should never expect in a developed suburb: woodpeckers, badgers, foxes, hedgehogs, bluejays, so many finches and tits, once even a grouse that looked very, very lost. No, MIL, we don't need to trim them.

We get this at work. People using copilot to transcribe a meeting and NEVER checking its accuracy. How could you? You aren't presented with the transcript to edit until after. So meeting minutes, which are meant to settle arguments now hallucinate fictional characters in attendance.

Just saw that the state pension age could hit 80, and as scary as it might be to work until then, having seen my retired neighbours loose their damned minds watching tv or mowing grass that doesn't grow if they don't look for work (like charity or family) I'm glad I'm not retiring for a while!

Yet again, I scream into the void, 'Why can't my 6yo boy have normal school friends!?' No exaggeration to say 9/14 boys in his class show a myriad of neuro and social development issues. Those 5 'normal' kids get to be used as lessons that other parents have failed to teach. Heartbreaking.

De-Aging is not just a garish new CGI fad from an industry that has long run out ideas. It's another way for the old to pull up another ladder for the young. Had they de-aged Brando, would De Niro get his break into mainstream movies like Godfather pt 2, to later de-age himself in The Irishman?

Ah, another terrible book cover for a classic horror. This doesn't show on screen, but this looked like grungy neon orange spray paint stencil work. You know, the aesthetic most commonly associated with Shirley Jackson. IIRC, the back cover was a quote of the VERY FIRST sentence. Lazy and crap.
