@HMRCcustomers Hi there. My mum entered the wrong amounts in her 2023-2024 and due to this received a too high calculation. She is a pensioner and does a short return. I wrote to HMRC with details asking them to rectify it 2 months ago but we haven't received a response. What should she do?

@drgurner @GreeleyWealth @JulesStefanich What in your view could be a typical trigger point? For example a lot of your stuff may function, but you’re tired of it

@HMRCcustomers Hi, my 80 year old Mum needs an SA 900 paper form. HMRC chat says they can't send the form without having her NI number. But why is that needed? Can't you just send the blank form and guidance out to her if I give you the address? I'm not asking for it frivolously! Can you advise

@YiddishBookCtr @chapter0990 Hi there! A fellow Ruth Rubin enthusiast here. Do you know of anyone has done work on overt or ambient ‚yiddishkait‘ in musicals with Jewish composers? Thinking of Yiddish-sounding melodies in eg Mary Poppins (Sherman brothers) Les Mis. (Michel Schönberg).

@gcornish91 @JamesCarlOsorio It’s super important work and well done to him!

[Gemma Ferst @GemmaFerst]

@gcornish91 @JamesCarlOsorio It’s great that he has done this insightful work and all power to him and you; still it rang strangely in my ears with the description of taking a break from doom and gloom. Been a long week.

Hear hear Liz Lumley! The solution's very simple. VCs/investors/institutions, stop talking about funding women. START WRITING CHECKS. #FundFemaleFounders

This is one of Israel's leading playwright Motti Lerner:

"I can't understand our indifference, our complacency. Do I want to be a citizen of a country that kills 11,000 children in my name? To protect me? Have we gone crazy?"

More Israelis should follow his lead and speak up. I suspect there's a large amount of people who are extremely disturbed by what's going on but afraid to speak up for one reason or another.

But I also predict they'll bitterly regret it if they don't, as that will make them silent accomplices of one of the most disgusting massacres in history, perpetrated in their name.

"It has become impossible to distinguish between Israel’s decidedly non-surgical operation against Hamas militants in Gaza and the indiscriminate killing of Palestinian civilians."
