From the trailer it looks like a ripoff of Coppola's version

I've had a change of heart on this. I was in favour of a ban. But without putting other measures in place it would just isolate kids. Let them find their tribe. But we must do more to remove dangerous content and make social media safer.

I really hope there's a hell.

I try very hard not to use the word Orwellian too much but it’s the best adjective for the mauling of language at the start of this BBC News report. β€œβ€¦ an anti-hate demonstration that turned violent”. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Green Party say 'Hannah Spencer won't be silenced' after Manchester violence Hannah Spencer, Gorton and Denton's newly-elected MP, was ushered into a police car amid the unfolding chaos

The reason the middle-class media has not reported Hannah Spencer being attacked by right-wing transphobes is that it needs to preserve the nice, coffeee-round-the-kitchen-table, middle-class view of transphobia, not the thuggish fascist reality.

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

I saw you post about the fire and went onto the Guardian and had to scroll down too far for such big news.

I really dislike first person. It's often stopped me reading a book.

Nope. Never heard that once in my entire life. You folks believe a lot of weird nonsense about the UK.

Oh look one reply is doing the tiresome British smiles gag. Look up the world rankings on dental health.

A weaker one it seems. A few Ukrainian grenade drones could take these things out.

The Netflix alien #WarMachine is very vulnerable to Earth weapons. Two line of sight weapons and weak mortars. Top heavy high profile - unstable and always spotted first. Scans its environment slower than my robot vacuum. Several unarmoured points. A constant light show.

Oh I hope it happens soon. And on TV. Live on TV.

I could have sworn we could zoom into images on #BlueSky on #Android. Or am I misremembering?

When they were making Netflix's War Machine it sounds like they had a rummage in Spielberg's War of the Worlds parts bin.

My daughter is home from uni for the weekend. She still calls her younger brother "Little Man" despite him being 17 and about six inches taller than her.

Monarch's second episode of the new series was a whole lot of nothing. That's a shame after the positive start last week.

I have been tackling a few lingering jobs today. Fixing the lawnmower. Emptying and sorting cable hell cupboard in lounge. I really need to fix the bowing Billy bookcases in the lounge too, but the thought of emptying them first puts me off. Maybe another day.

If an streaming platform doesn't ban AI music then I want an option to completely hide it.

I would welcome the inclusion Tree Pollen season in the app and website. Currently we're told "it's not currently pollen season" which is news to us suffering through the tree pollen. Other pollen warning sites thankfully do include this.
