About to drive my teen to the fracture clinic and he has created a play list that includes a computer game song called βGod of Hyper Deathβ.
Look, I know my teenage music annoyed my parents but the crucial difference is that my teenage music was good.
Yes - and his face is literally next to it

This headline is not actually telling the story of the article - which is the writerβs genuine concern at those new stats. But it was a headline that made my heart sink - it feels like any news coverage should be very clearly a condemnation of such backwards thinking

US-specific terms include greenbacks and smackers, while UK slang often uses quiddoshreadies, and wedge. Specific amounts are often referred to as a fiver (Β£5)tenner (Β£10)score (Β£20), or grand ($1,000/Β£1,000).
Hereβs an AI thing. I was just googling βslang for cashβ for the above tweet and the ai google results offered this. How are you for quiddoshreadies?

Her mother (head out of shot) wheels her baby brother along in a pushchair. The baby says "Peter Rabbit may be the 'Hero' of the story, but surely the obedient, widowed Mrs Rabbit is a more effective symbol of the oppression inherent within Mister McGregor's regime" The girls looks furious and snaps "Mum!! He's critiquing my world book day costume from a marxist perspective again!"

A cracking example of Godwinβs Law. I told my teen that I studied for an hour every night after school so it was just possible that he could do so too.
He told me, very seriously: βMum, the NAZIS were possible, it didnβt mean it was a good thing.β
