With a bit of a mind flip…

It really is! The cruelty of the reveal to him is breathtaking. I kept wondering if we’d do the same in the UK, and worrying that now we probably would.

Incredible! Just watched it on your recommendation - thank you!

People keep slagging Glastonbury off, and you said you can’t bring things with you despite it being probably the most lenient festival there is. I saw people last week with literal trollies of cider behind them. You could happily tow in a weeks worth of food if it took your fancy.

7th Glastonbury this year, thanks for asking.

β€œThings”. Ok.

Where’d you get the idea you can’t bring things with you? It’s not true.

The ghilli suits were probably for Snapped Ankles 😊

I knew it was good because I found myself stood up watching it!

I’m late watching this season but I totally agree! It reminds me of Clint Mansell’s Requiem For A Dream soundtrack (in the way it stirs me). I’ve rewatched the final montage 3 times in a row now!

There’s a really good podcast about banksy that covers the Seagull one extensively.

I replaced mine this year with a β€˜new’ 2009 C1 with 22k on the clock for 3k, so this one should last me another couple of decades.

My 1l Seat Arosa lasted 21 years and 210k miles. I actually welled up when she was loaded onto the truck for the last time.

Sports Team, Bristol Rough Trade May 2025. The new album is fantastic! We have accidentally bought far too many copies! Such a lovely bunch of people too. They were lovely to everyone despite a crazy number of gigs in a row.

This is a tricky one - the underlying internet is the same. People have CHOSEN to use that handful of companies. Stuff like websites, Usenet and IRC are still there - the problem is that the handful of companies made stuff that’s easier to use.

It’s fake. Watterson would NEVER do this to his characters. The real final strip of Calvin and Hobbes is beautiful.

It’s Nitti from The Untouchables isn’t it?

Have a browse of the ONS page on death in the UK.
Around 30% of victims and suspects in killings were under the influence of drugs or alcohol. 56% of homicides involved drugs in some way (2024).
As an aside, how many people are going out to buy a new knife for this type of crime?

The statistics show a reduction without implementing this rule. How is that not relevant?

21.05.2025 10:07 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

So if implemented, this rule would inconvenience a huge number of people and save practically none, relatively.
Besides which, the few people wanting a stabby knife would simply go to a DIY shop and buy a Stanley knife or similar.

I really feel like this is a dead cat issue that would make some people’s work harder and will remove useful tools from innocent people.

Non pointy knives have been used alongside pointy ones, sure. Show me a cook that doesn’t have a pointy knife.

According to the ONS, there were 535 homicides in 2024, 41% of which involved knives. A 45% REDUCTION on the previous year.
In comparison, there were over 10000 alcohol related deaths.

How many car deaths?

No it’s not. Preparing fish has been going on since we could chip stone…perhaps address the reasons for the stabbings rather than completely hampering basic tools.

I also use it, but it’s no where near as good as google in its heyday.

I love it - it’s part of The Sprawl Trilogy and shouldn’t be read first. First one is Neuromancer.
Gibson tends to do trilogies that are thematically linked, rather than following individual characters, although some characters re-occur.
He’s one of my favorite authors.
