Landlord put my rent up, council puts council tax up, "Regulated" Utilities drop prices in May then hike them higher every year, food prices keep going up. Rail fares. I can't afford to go anywhere or do anything. This isn't "catching me out". It's crushing the life out of me.
Nothing but low-hanging fruit until the budget, folks.
At which point Healy will announce massive departmental cuts to Health and Transport (on top of the ones agreed with Reeves), in order to send a multi-billion bung to American arms companies in tribute to their Mad King.
Forgetting to unsubscribe is an annoyance.
Extortionate Water, Energy Bills, Council Tax & Leasehold "Service Charges" are what's Breaking people's backs, but you won't deal with *ANY* of that, because you are No different from the last guy.. Or the last guy.. OR the last guy...
I’ve had the odd issue with a subscription service tbf, but nothing anywhere as annoying as my water provider putting up my bill up 25% or receiving ludicrous service charges on our leasehold property that you can’t do anything about
Andy, let me put it this way:
A £5 recurring subscription that's difficult to get out of is annoying.
Nearly 50% of my income going on rent alone is existential.
Channel 4 has a new program called "The Great ADHD Myth?"
Here's a few facts about ADHD, it is the single most expensive illness, costing the UK £17bn a year.
Yet the NHS spends only £180m a year on medication and only treats 1 in 10 people who could benefit.
Despite the fact treatment reduces costs by up to a third.
It is ignoring ADHD which is the problem, and which Channel 4 are now guilty of aiding in.
London is in the worst drought on record. Reservoirs are at 74%. Hosepipes are banned.
The government just approved a data centre that’ll burn 5.2 megawatts to speed up bank trades.
Tower Hamlets said no. Whitehall overruled them anyway. Andy Burnham chose servers over homes
These four men have the ability to end all the suffering that exists in our world, yet they have dedicated their lives to prolonging that suffering for their own greed and profit.
On this day in 2006, we released the Here It Goes Again music video. This video cost less than $5,000 and was shot in 17 very sweaty takes, but it took us to the Grammys, the VMAs, and to the email inboxes of millions of people (you couldn’t share videos to social media back then).
20 years later, we actually now can share this to social media. Enjoy!
Growth slows. Prices stay high. War expands. Climate disasters multiply. Yet somehow the billionaires remain comfortable & the working class receives another lecture about sacrifice.
Funny how austerity never reaches the penthouse.
Why is the burden always on the working class?
Every person with ADHD dream career is being a highly paid consultant who swoops in, solves a complex crisis with a chaotic stroke of genius, and then immediately exits before having to fill out the timesheets.
The single worst thing Marvel has made. An absolute creative trainwreck that stupidly killed off two beloved characters, wasted multiple great actors, contradicted the character arc of War Machine, and had one of the lamest finales of all time.
The complete lack of social and spatial awareness is exhausting. People blocking aisles. Stopping in doorways. Walking four abreast. Leaving shopping carts in the middle of the aisle. Standing in front of exits. Wake tf up. There are other people trying to exist around you.
What’s going on with Nathaniel Clyne?
No announcement from the club he’s leaving, not used in pre season so we expect he’d be leaving but absolutely nothing from the club from a player who has served us so well coming from our academy is shocking, club should do better

Wes Streeting doing the Media Rounds all weekend & not a SINGLE Question about the 100s of 1000s in "Donations" from Private Healthcare & Weapons Manufacturers he's received.

I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.
