How do chuds like this think we managed FIVE SHORT YEARS AGO
Two things to get you through a night in a UK hospital right now: Portable, powerful fan (me and another guy in the ward have the same one, and every single person who had joined has asked where theirs is) Noise cancelling headphones (Wards are for repair, not recovery, and can be noisy places!)
No small business can do this. No small business can afford this. This was no longer a choice, or an option. The latest PPWR is the final nail in the coffin. Here you can see a breakdown of the unreasonable bureaucracy expected of us. We'll miss you, Europe.
Well, this is me moving my work email box, and all its riches within, out of the Google ecosystem, who will be left with 600 incessant subscriptions I signed up for in order to get 10% off a one-time product. Idiots.
Rhodri Marsden@rhodri.biz · yesterdayIf I didn’t know better, I’d say that someone within Google was actively sabotaging the company by enshittifying its services, or in this case deciding to stop offering something I’ve used for years and thus actively making my life more difficult, all for just £14/month

It's not a liberal bubble -- it's just the place where everyone who wasn't morally okay with being at the Nazi club settled.
The Verge@theverge.com · 2d agoBluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."
Marker of love: it’s 2.15am and I’m creating the new lexicon of words we need to use for my #stoma with my brilliant partner, who is seven miles away and should be sleeping, but is 100% beside me in this scary, unknown territory

As a patient in hospital, visitors ignoring the hours and being noisy about it too is the equivalent of putting your towels out to reserve your sunbed on holiday
A brilliant repost to the vile Jeremy Clarkson. Odious twat.
Nettlecake@nettlecake.bsky.social · 2d agoBrilliant letter from Stuart Thompson to Jeremy Clarkson about his comments that benefit claimants should write weekly thank you letters to tax payers detailing how they spend their benefits each week.

Not the post I was expecting to write after Italy! Experiencing acute abdominal pains, we flew back late Friday night, and I came into St. Peter’s hospital. Part of my colon was leaking gas into body, poisoning me at an alarming rate. [1/2]
RFK Jr and wife had a soiree at their Hollywood mansion during COVID and required proof of COVID vaccination with RSVP. Watch what they do, not what they say. –Rachel Maddow

Nigel Farage just took a question from a 'journalist' at his press conference, who turned out to be his former chief adviser Raheem Kassam, who asks him why the media are being so unfair to him
Enigmailed customers: I’m currently in hospital ahead of emergency surgery. Apologies if you have been in touch or are awaiting orders - this was not expected!
This has really pissed me off, if you're in the area and can afford it go and give the cafe owner some money to help fund the kids meals. And if he refuses buy yourself a nice coffee and tip him as much as you can. Fuck Reform taking food from kids in need. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Nobody I know has read ‘Station Eleven’ and on paper, it sounds trite and dismal. It’s an incredible book, and the TV series is superb.
Alasdair Stuart@alasdairstuart.com · 7d agoStarting on Station Eleven having read the book, and this has the teeth Last of Us, for me didn’t. The health workers joking/seriously asking each who they called and one saying ‘I just tweeted ‘bye’,’ is a LOT
I mean, he also kidnapped someone, tying them to a radiator, so a pretty toxic narcissist to begin with, really.
