I like how the caption on this photo reads as if he's making a claim that could not be independently verified.

Not a real article sadly, a rehash of one about gaming / esports words. However I appreciate the dedication to get a quality second mentions into the fake news.

when we pointed out to someone that their proposed course was impossible as they'd designed it, bc UKVI wouldn't issue that type of visa, and offered a solution to fix it... we were accused of "being obstructive"

Man on Fire was a DVD that took up 20% of the stockroom in the WHSmith I worked in during high school. No idea why we had so many copies. They didn't sell.

Yes. That's their job. In a facility set up specifically to do this. Pls just explain to me the logistics.

I had a similar issue with the giant French Fancy cake. The icing should have been 1cm thick. It was just endless dry sponge :'(

@iandunt.bsky.social W/O knowing the article itself it's difficult to make a judgement. During local elections there are hundreds of near identical articles that an extract of a spreadsheet w a bit of flourish. Using "AI" to generate a skeleton and then having a journo check is sensible timesaving

the idiocy of stopping Kangaroo has a direct pipeline to Netflix's current awfulness.

a highly underrated type of friend is the one with the forthright courage to order dessert first at a group dinner where the mood around dessert is still uncertain

Today's random #ContentDesign job is to track down any references to "leave to remain" now that the Home Office have (correctly) decided that its a stupid phrase and it should be "permission to stay" instead.

On a related note, is it also finally time to remove "or Tier 4" from the website?
