When it comes to covid, who do you trust? A pharmaceutical company that has been fined over $2 billion dollars for health care fraud?

Nothing really special about appreciating how good David Byrne is but I have this song on a loop these days. Staggeringly good. That it was made 30 years into his career...https://t.co/S8ypGmzq7t

@boscoloi @paulsampson0x The gangs all here!

@raggedlines Tell that to Diana Ross

@raggedlines @JRD0000 @OdohertyI64991 I wasn’t offended. Just triggered

[EAPsteve @EAPstephen]

@JRD0000 @raggedlines @OdohertyI64991 Lads - there is no need for this kind of exchange on twitter. Lets keep it low brow please

@AlexEpstein Very true. All those things build the relationship and their trust in you. It's why they seek you out when they're upset - there may be many caring adults in their life but they'll look for you because of all those hours you spent in the trenches when they were babogs.

"sleep training" a newborn means letting a defenseless baby scream for its mother in the dark until it's either exhausted or has given up on life.

the attachment literature is clear that before 6 months, a baby crying with nobody coming learns exactly one thing, that calling for help doesn't work
and you even have parents bragging about how they tortured their kid into an 8h sleep

you need to attend to every need of your child. they don't have a prefrontal cortex able to understand what's happening. if you love them and care for them, they'll barely cry, and when they do there's a clear reason you can address right away

@GuruAnaerobic Surprisingly common. These lads were knocking around outside my kids school last year

King Charles III delivers his King's speech about "cost of living challenges" while sitting on a golden throne, wearing a crown covered in huge jewels.

@raggedlines He's a master of deeply clever silliness

@raggedlines But also the rise of corporatisation. To an extent, in the past music and art existed in and of itself and business leeched off it to make money. Now music and art are created from a business imperative pretty much solely

[EAPsteve @EAPstephen]

@raggedlines in the way that the 90s created a sort of reimagining of the 60s, the 00s began with what seemed to be a reimagining of that late 70s proto punk, specifically thinking of the Strokes. But it didn’t really crystallise into anything. I think 911 and subsequent war broke something.

@raggedlines Three years!

@rickygervais Probably bores a lot of the right people too

You used to have your bet ideas in the shower, now you have a waterproof speaker. You used to get lost in thought waiting for the train, now you have a phone to fill the gap. You used to daydream on long flights, now there's a screen in your hand and on the seat in front of you. You used to think on your morning commute, now you have a podcast playing before you leave the house.
We used to stare in to the sky or into a fire and let our minds drift, now we have TVs and phone to replace that. We filled every silence and lost all of our peace, creativity and ideas that lived within that silence.

@GuruAnaerobic This analysis of a do-gooder proved all too accurate from 2020 to 2022

@carlquintanilla @PaulSimonMusic Amazing that even his awkwardness is musical when Parky refers to him as the dominant member of the partnership

[EAPsteve @EAPstephen]

@raggedlines @DeathlyAcorn Like imagine going to the zoo for some face painting, and they don't do a tiger! No wonder she looks annoyed
