They’re doing everything in their power to try and distract us from the fact that they’ve run the country into the ground and don’t have the backbone to actually take measures to improve it. They don’t want us to have the means to speak about it either

My 17-year-old daughter:
“I’m confused. We’ve always been taught not to share personal information or anything that identifies us online because it isn’t safe. Now they want us to do exactly that to access social media.”

[Micktheskinz @Mickskinz]

Just had a twenty minute conversation with my 15 year old daughter.
The kids are laughing at this government. They are already planning how to get around it and they will believe me.
But the way they will do it leaves them far more vulnerable than how it is now.
This must be stopped otherwise we will have a generation of dark web users that otherwise would never have considered going on there. Because they are too preoccupied by social fucking media.
Believe me everyone I can guarantee this will backfire catastrophically.
Data breaches will be rife.
People will be stealing your identity and the next thing you will be blacklisted.
It's already happening in other countries.
This is a fucking disaster waiting to happen.

I'm furious about this.

I'm a parent and one of my children who falls in this age category has faced very serious in person bullying at school that extended out into social media. It was all encompassing and seriously harmful.

So I understand the potential for seriously negative impact from social media on young people.

But the single most important thing that got them through it was their friendship online with kids in the US. 1 in particular who became a very close friend who was part of a larger group.

They game together but spend the time chatting and working on plans for the future. It's a true friendship. Talking about business ideas, culture, etc, for hours everyday.

Without that, they would have had absolutely no outlet and been doomed to only exist in a reality in which they have been completely outcast.

As a parent, I monitor social media use using already available tools. I create accounts myself and know who is being interacted with.

I set up curfews for certain apps on all devices but make sure I allow for the positive interactions and friendships to happen.

As some are in the US, that means access at late hours but I'm entirely capable of managing this and I know the trade offs involved and then manage through those as well.

I talk with my children directly about the risks, what to do, what not to do and why.

If the government moves forward with these blanket curfews, that will cut my child off from their best friend for good which will very seriously impact their mental health.

I will absolutely not accept the government harming my child in this manner.

WTH is happening in the UK? @Keir_Starmer your people are getting brutally murdered and you’re literally doing NOTHING.

Last week the UK was 30 degrees.

Roads were melting.

Everyone was sunburnt.

Gingers were catching fire on the street.

This week the country's underwater.

The roads are rivers.

My house is flooding.

And I've just seen Noah float by in his fucking Ark.

There is no way this is the same country.

Sorry, but there's no way you're building a billion mile long ship for sixteen dollars

Yesterday’s refereeing was one of the best I’ve seen in a long time.

For the first 15 minutes, the ref fell for Arsenal’s shenanigans: blowing a foul for every slight fall and every little touch. Then, all of a sudden, he clocked their dirty antics and took complete control of the game.

He stopped buying their silly theatrics: Mosquera time wasting, Havertz falling at every slight touch, Saka wasting time for the corner, Arteta touchline tantrums, Madueke diving. I can go on and on

Arsenal have become so used to getting away with this cunning stuff from Premier League refs that they seemed genuinely shocked when it didn’t work.

I’m glad the referee refused to be intimidated and stood his ground. That’s how you referee a final.

You might con your way to a Premier League title, but you can’t do it in the UCL. Either you play like real men or go home

Heatwaves in this country (UK) are diabolical.

At night you open your window for a little breeze, and you end up with every insect within a 3 mile radius in your bedroom.

You get about 700 gnats doing the bloody conga in your ears, a big hairy chewbacca looking spider in the corner watching you sleep and moths built like bald eagles flying around your lamp.

Keep the window closed, you drown in your own sweat, leave it open and you end up in fucking Jumanji 😒

The fake urgency created in corporate life for absolutely no reason is one of the worst things humans have invented.

I’d feel sorry for West Ham but I had a cream egg bounced off the back of my head there about 4 years ago so fuck them.

Peço desculpas a quem possa ofender com minha opinião, mas extensão de cílios é a coisa mais feia e brega de toda a estética feminina contemporânea. Parece que você sempre tá de ressaca e não tirou a maquiagem pós balada.
