David Lammy and JD Vance bonded over β€˜dysfunctional’ childhoods – and a Diet Coke The UK foreign secretary opens up about his friendship with the VP, that β€˜island of strangers’ speech, and his guilt over Zelenskyy’s Oval Office encounter

We need to learn to internalise - I find this difficult and I guess others do too - that there is no sense in which this is actually a Labour Government. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I've had a few serious bouts of sciatica and the real help for me was amitriptyline, helped with sleep too. Doctors were also v sympathetic with opiates

I should add a 'my bad' here. it puts sound through the telly via scart but doesn't have a soundchip on it. that would be seperate.

This is interesting to so few people out might as well have been a group chat but: zx chroma 81, it gives the humble zx81 colour graphics, sound, a cartridge port, serial port, scart connector, extra ram and loads more.

your first sentence; I feel every word. even the simple fact that I no longer believe in god doesn't stop me being a catholic.

Who here likes video games? Have you played Hades?

Do you know who else played Hades?

Jesus.

On Holy Saturday, Jesus briefly visited the underworld, before his resurrection on the Sunday.

So, he not only "played" Hades but "completed it, mate" in one day!

GG!

(Good God!)

I'm a middle aged man and can get my head round the fact that no one under 35 even knows a time when gigs were promoted without Zucks blessing and must be a hard thing to navigate.
But there's no ethical, artistic or social justification for using their products. Sorry.

I read the book 'careless people' this week. The thing that stuck with me from reading it is the revelation that if a teenage girl posts then deletes a selfie the algorithm knows they are in a vulnerable mental state so then immediately serves them an ad for diet or beauty products.

(with different wording in ceremony). there's other reasons someone might need a GRC but for most people it's irrelevant.

it's bad. but this law only specifically applies to scenarios in the equality act - which is far narrower than this is being presented as. GRC for most people is not needed - the most common reason for needing it is marriage. (without one, a hetero wedding would be a gay marriage with different)

Vets say they are under pressure to bring in more money per pet Some tell the BBC they are encouraged to compete over the number of procedures they carry out on pets.

my local vet has transformed from a lovely small place that obviously gave a shit into one of those horrible medivet nonce places, this is no surprise

I've almost read it and so far it's not as explosive as the marketing suggested (and it pulls punches. so when she's criticised for rolling her eyes at a board meeting cos a board member in 2016 suggested FB partner with AfD/FN in ger/fra, that person is not named despite Peter Theil being there)

The best way to spend any Sunday afternoon is dealing with the aftermath of accidentally letting a "free" version of Ableton update itself.
