In the newish Aeon mall in Long An. A beautiful English accent announces that “we have raining outside so please be careful.” The first well-spoken English I’ve heard in days.

Watching the Tragedy of Macbeth from 2022. Starring … err … Denzel Washington. No uproar. No Elon Musk charges of ahistoricism? Did I miss them?

Panic stations. Been knocked back travel insurance because of pre existing conditions. These haven’t been an issue the previous 2 times. Any advice?

lol. I asked to speak to someone with an Australian accent because I suspected the person interviewing misheard an answer. Indeed he did. I don’t actually have a brain tumour.

All I am asking for is that the social team for The Football Club I Support to post what it does there, on here. I don't see that as a big ask but, seemingly, it is an ask too far. Why would you not speak to people on the platforms they prefer? I shouldn't have to be there, when here exists.

Andy Burnham looks like he might cancel the NHS England contract with Palantir, they also have one worth 2.5x as much with the MoD. RT if you want them both out of the UK.

Indeed you picked it

@iansyson.bsky.social Just saw last night's result. Normally I couldn't give two figs about English football, but I have a dream: your lot get promoted and next season beat Bonesaw United in the last game of the season to deny them a spot in the Champions' League.
