I’d like to know more about this “modern slavery system”.

Is it like the historic one, but now secured using blockchain?

[Rishi Sunak @RishiSunak]

If you come to the UK illegally:

➡️ You can’t claim asylum

➡️ You can’t benefit from our modern slavery protections

➡️ You can’t make spurious human rights claims

➡️ You can’t stay

Dear wheelchair users: in public wheelchair accessible toilets the loo roll dispenser always seems to be impossibly far from the loo. Am I missing something?

@OvercastFM Feature request: at top of a playlist show the total play time - would let me know easily if I’ve lined up enough listening for a long drive.

@shadowcat_mdk Me too. After doing a test run of Scopoderm before a sailing trip I commented to someone that one side effect for me was that the inner voice stopped and that was a relief. They looked at me like I was mad.

@shadowcat_mst I use the little paper folder they write the room number on and put the cards in. Fold it over and stick it in the slot. Makes it seem a little less wasteful.

@mockduck Gory in places, but “15 000 Miles in a Ketch” is one book I often find myself thinking about. No guarantee you’ll like it but it is certainly a window into a very different world.

@pdcawley Lines of comment is a much better metric!

But mostly abroad, preferably on holiday.

[Rishi Sunak @RishiSunak]

2/ Although he has decided not to run for PM again, I truly hope he continues to contribute to public life at home and abroad.

Big numbers are almost incomprehensible on their own. Visualising them helps: https://t.co/u4QdF5Sz9G

@Psythor Basically a holiday then. A change is as good as a break.

Three years between haul outs is too long.

@mockduck I'll let an AI tell me driving directions from A to B. But to let one choose what I'm watching next, or having for dinner - not a chance.

@mockduck And drawing comics, which requires ability in so many areas (artwork, writing, culture, humour) is going to be a tough one to crack!
