You can see my old house from up there! But why would you visit Tromsø in the summer? There's barely any skiing and no northern lights at all.

e: I do recommend a late night trip to Sommarøy if you have time, though. It's cool to sit on the edge of the island and see the sun fail to set over the ocean. And you can climb nearby Ørnfløya beforehand, which has great views and often you can see the sea eagles.

This is astoundingly stupid even by current Labour standards - what’s the point of a Labour government that doesn’t even support a labour strike that is supported by the majority of the public?

I think there are a lot of people who are defined by who they will performatively not vote for.

When the thread was discussing the Tolkien quote about not being too quick to wish death on somebody, I was trying to think of a counterexample and this is it. Before moving to the UK I had never seen a carpeted bathroom and I still cannot conceive why any sane person would want one.

An actual good and fascinating story from the Guardian about the personal fallout there's been from the crypto crash:

So many amateurs who saw Bitcoin spiraling ever higher and genuinely believed that this was their one chance to gain financial security, it's really sad.

Just over a week ago, I noticed a promotional email from my cannabis clinic, and at the end it mentioned a competition where they were asking patients to upload videos of their experiences with the clinic to help break the stigma of cannabis use. My public vaping stunts, including the recently adopted open vaping in the pub beer garden, have been all about breaking the stigma, so it seemed right up my alley. I quickly pieced together a rambling video and managed to submit it before the deadline. It didn't really fit the competition brief, but brushed upon it.

The result? I won the loving competition, and at around midday today, I'm going to be the proud receiver of a £400 Volcano Medic 2:

He probably could have converted a decent chunk of it, depending on taxes etc! From the article, he'd become so immersed in the collective crypto delusion of Youtube videos, subreddits and Discord channels that he truly believed that prices could only ever keep spiraling upwards and there was no need to cash out. Poor bastard gave his interview from a residential therapy centre, where he was trying to recover from the crushing depression caused by seeing all of his dreams crumble to dust.

There is one house on this street not council and it’s next to mine, and her mother in law is an obnoxious loud cow who has the capacity to play peek-a-boo at extreme volumes for hours and hours at a baby who lost interest 30 seconds in. We’ve all heard my neighbour ask her to keep it down to “what they going to do report me to the council I’ll report them cackle cackle screech peek-a-boo YAAAAAY who’s a good girl”

She’s sunbathing right now and I hope she gets drenched

Wasn't there a BBC series based on a book about a woman reincarnating during the Blitz or something, I remember seeing the ads?

"Gary later becomes trapped in the past when the portal closes after he saves Clement Attlee from an assassination attempt by poisoning. He later deduces that it was his destiny to travel back in time with the purpose of saving Attlee's life and the portal closed because he had fulfilled this purpose."

I wonder where they're gonna get all these 'agency workers' from.

Anyone with the training and skills would already be doing the job.
Foreign workers are difficult to hire even if you want to and it's politically inconvenient to start poaching professionals from abroad unless they're planning to use Ukrainians.

Jeremy has been using his extensive crowdfunded legal fund to basically threaten legal action against any prominent figure who calls him antisemitic. In fact, you notice that most blue ticks generally go quite far to avoid saying that, when they’re not having a full public breakdown on Twitter anyway. A month or two ago Victoria Coren made a joke on R4 that was along the lines of “Jeremy Corbyn *bleep to imply censorship* Jews,” the point of which was obviously to express the frustration of the media classes being unable to publicly state the fact that they all know is definitely, 100% true but is annoyingly illegal to say just because there happens to be absolutely zero evidence supporting it.
