I dislike bio’s, really. I’m a late 40 year old female with a 24-year-old daughter. We have two dogs, two cats, one guinea pig. I was Arletta on Twitter. Went to Mastodon, but I don’t remember what name it was. I left though.

We have created a device that shall be integral to your life, to the point where it will be hard to function in society without one; we would prefer these devices to break annually and for you to purchase a new one at full price. If you don't, that's called hoarding. They're a thousand dollars each.

Again, I’m innocent, but I happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

It’s not just robbery. I’d assume things like immigrants who are wrongly deported, family court, pretty much everything. Nobody can make them turn around and go “no, think again”

Less about no jury trials, so much as the no right to appeal.

Supposing, for the sake of argument, I’m accused of stealing an e-bike. It’s robbery so I get the government going “Yeah she did it. Proof”. Judge goes “3 years in prison”. I’ve no right to appeal that, to argue my trial wasn’t fair.

Objectively they did make it so that she burned her bridges and couldn’t come back from it all.

Plus side, I did enjoy them starting The Good Fight with Diane firmless and broke.

Last season and a half probably (The Good Wife). They could’ve made it way more interesting just by letting Alicia be States Attorney.

The last season was pretty much her chain bonking Jason, who she didn’t end up with anyway, with some court cases thrown in. It was weird.

Nope. It’s just someone from the US delegation and the Russia delegation coming and restating again what it will take to stop them (temporarily) bombing Ukraine.

Until the next time. Both the stating and the bombing.

Definitely one of those “It could NOT happen to a nicer person” moments.

Haven’t willingly watched a BBC program for years. Won’t read their news. Even when I read it, I take it with way more buckets of salts than most other places.

Also, not a Reform voter. Their leader is racist and it’s largely people who should never be allowed to hold public office.

Tim Davie misled audience about the BBC’s supposed leftwing agenda | Good Law Project Speaking at a book festival, the former director general suggested the BBC newsroom was full of BLM T-shirts and Kamala mugs. But that’s fake news.

The main reason, only reason, I am looking forward to the budget is so I stop seeing pieces about what people think may be in the budget.

I’m also aware that they have to scare folk into it, but have some sensitivity about it for goodness sakes.

Has happened before. My daughter was pre diabetic, few years ago. They also told her if she didn’t work on it she’d drop dead of a heart attack. When we complained they denied they’d said it.

I’m less than impressed with mine right now. I have high cholesterol (working on it, no worries) and got a phone call from a nurse to tell me what I already knew. It’s that she made it sound like I was going to die there and then that was my issue with them.

Mostly I don’t have any complaints.

🇺🇦 Zelensky: The crux of the entire diplomatic situation is that it was Russia, and only Russia, that started this war, and it is Russia, and only Russia, that has been refusing to end it throughout the full-scale invasion.

Unfortunately, probably immaturely, Airplane is by far one of my favourite films.

Unrelated to politics however.

It’s worse when they get control of their little limbs and start grabbing hair etc.

My brother had to rescue my (now ex) SiL from their first child’s death grip on her hair several times. Their second child has these things to come.

Ours are either locked behind a RADAR key or none existent, just a wider cubicle in the back of a normal public loo.

You weren’t vandalising it or anything? Just a head shake?

Because that’s plain silly

I’ll keep saying that none of the present lot will be any better. Like the Tories shoved out anyone who wouldn’t worship at the alter of Johnson, Labour kicked out anyone who wouldn’t worship at the alter of the right.

And the trial will probably be a stitch up by gender critical people too.

I’m fully convinced (not evidentially, just convinced) that the hysteria caused by the stupid folk on Newsnight lead to the review with a predetermined outcome and the government paid someone who would say so. Independent, my behind.

I was going to say don’t hold your breath, so….

Anyone who’s gender non conforming. Anyone who has small to no breasts. Anyone who is tall and has a deep voice, which females can be and have. Anyone who is slightly heavy and less female looking. And the list goes on.

It’s going to lead to assaults and fights. Fast.

… the better. Tech employees are GODS. So is the Prime Minister. We must all have guns”

The only one we have is the “Everyone must work until they die” and they’re working on the “Unchristian to feed the poor and hungry” bit.

2 and end.
