@ups.com will never again get my business. They lost a parcel in customs, failed to acknowledge that within 60 day, and will now not allow me to claim for its loss. Their claims team are in a permanent quantum state of both allowing the claim and not allowing it. So sick of chasing this up.
so i'm absolutely, 100% clear: the tories loudly declared anybody in the labour party even mildly critical of the Israeli government as antisemitic, to the point that many politicians were kicked out of the PLP entirely. that's same tories that's now fielding a convicted nazi as a candidate.
it seems like what the European Union wants is for huge companies only to do distance selling, and that small businesses can only sell within their own countries.
this programme is killing me. 10mi long, 15min recovery, THIRTY-SIX MINUTE INTERVALS, what's next, you take me out into the pasture and put me down?

chap on the radio talking about how water usage needs to come down, and how consumers need to do that. no mention whatsoever of the sheer wastry of data centre water usage. with dozens, maybe hundreds, of new data centres planned, we need to stand up and say "hands off our water".

We did write Moira! Another banger co-written by your two fave Argentinians(?, which can be played as a standalone game, or as a supplement to the campaign you're running, using it to resolve conflict. How? Competitively, without dice, GM, nor mercy.
Marx S—@phophos.bsky.social · 3w agonext time Duamn pops up is THE SHORT GAMES DIGEST V7 where he designed and illustrated game Moira alongside @vickaruscica.bsky.social, another beloved member of the Co-Op. this is another eight game digest so you get your bang for your buck here (esp. if you buy the bundle). also handsome tortoise?!
Microsoft is planning to build three massive AI data centres in Leeds. It’ll drain thousands of litres of water from the River Aire and become the city's biggest carbon emitter. We can still stop the council's final sign-off, but we need more voices. Add your name:
