You have to be crazy or completely corrupt to look at the UK with its billionaires who don't pay any taxes and its ripoff Energy Companies, polluting scumbag Water Companies and come to the conclusion that Disabled People and immigrants are the problem.

Twitter Classic:

Fun Fact: The first time "Big Chungus" was ever mentioned was in 1998's METAL GEAR SOLID, between Solid Snake and Liquid Snake:

This is the only MGS shitpost I've ever seen that's on a similar tier.

I've always known samurai swords to be associated with criminality and knife crime. That might be more of a Glasgow thing because of the historic knife crime.

What i would give for a big print of this or the MGS1 concept art

I'm positive there's an old racing game where they stuck a speedometer on top of an fps counter because removing the counter would break the game.

Big Shell was the real Tanker Chapter all along

it's all love, if we don't take the time to build community and understand each other we are not gonna make it

I've really enjoyed the discussion, I think there's still a lot of latent anxiety from how adversarial and toxic Twitter was, but this has been pure wholesome 😭😭

Absolutely no need to apologise mate, ya made sense! Yeah I agree, I would never call a person weird, that's so dehumanising and is a common negative descriptor. But I would still call a SITUATION weird or crazy.

#socialworkers, what is a book or resource that you swear by? What small pieces of information or quotes have a big impact on your practice?

Looking to learn how social workers around the world are practising and what I can steal for myself

I agree with the principle, but this line of argument can get really weaponised by bad faith actors creating a false panic about how we police language.

I think we should try to adapt our language but there shouldn't be a big line of purity for common phrases that don't have a charged history

Only time I've ever appreciated this joke

Ive started ignoring traditional mealtime conventions.

Chicken and rice soup for breakfast? Fuck yeah. Protein, carbs, warm, liquid, transportable. You can batch cook soup easily, or buy ready made microwavable ones. Forgot to make it? You can buy it EVERYWHERE

I regularly share with others about how I appreciate them, or specific ways of working i admire.

We have such a self deprecating culture in the UK and it takes a concentrated effort to build on peoples strengths

Yeah, in my reports I use advised and stated, occasionally a shared or disclosed to keep it fresh

Severance is the best example of Eldritch Horror on screen. I can't articulate why, but its like concentrated uncanny valley

we had a great 8 years of it being acceptable to be publicly queer but the right tapped into their hysteria and are trying to push us back decades. this is why the left warned of relying on rainbow capitalism because their support was about profit above all else. the solution is for us to not hide

A Mole Infiltrated the Highest Ranks of American Militias. This Is What He Found. Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends....

Absolutely phenomenal article.

Autistic Review of Lake Como.

Lovely place, lots of random loud banging for no reason.

Public transport and restaurant booking times are not adhered to.

Carter has passed. An accomplished man. A brilliant legacy. Although for many of us he died years ago when he refused to condemn, gamer gate

Two screenshots from a Mashable article entitled "The 21 best TV episodes of 2024, and where to stream them" with Game Changer's 'Beat the Buzzer' being number 18.

simply buzzing from this ✨

Yeah i don't think they were being 100% honest with me. I was interested in the makeup of the volunteer force not reflecting diverse communities. Still something I'll explore in the future!

I made a FOI Request to Children's Hearing Scotland about diversity data in relation to Children's Panel volunteers. Apparently they 'don't collect it' 🙃

I've pulled together more data than ever before on the state of additional support needs in schools, liberated it from government and SQA spreadsheets, and presented it in ways that, I hope, make it accessible for everyone.

I'd be keen to know what life at home looks like for excluded kids who don't fit one of the ASN sub-categories.

Going to bring this to our next team meeting in work. Really valuable way of sharing this information. These trends can definitely be felt in front line social work practice

Luigi Mangione’s manifesto does something truly groundbreaking in the genre: it is edited for brevity
