Everything costs more and half of it is worse than it used to be.
Chocolate bars are smaller and taste different. Clothes go thin after five washes. Crisp packets are mostly air. Meat comes with water pumped into it and the label calls it a marinade.
The price went up and the thing itself quietly went down at the same time, and nobody announced either.
What if a woman had a home birth and never signed up for a birth certificate? And just homeschooled them, and they lived off the land, quietly got married, lived on their family’s property and died peacefully?
What then?

163 CHILDREN RESCUED. SIX DAYS OF SILENCE.
Not even 30 damn seconds from major news media.
But a lake gets its name changed? BREAKING NEWS.
Don’t preach to me about “saving the children” when 163 rescued kids aren’t even worth 30 seconds of your airtime.
Your silence says everything.
So the people accusing Kathy Hochul of pandering for wearing a headscarf at a Muslim religious setting out of respect - had absolutely no problem with Trump wearing a yarmulke at a Jewish religious setting out of respect.
@elonmusk@GadSaad Islam is the fastest‑growing major religion globally 💜
Higher fertility rates
Younger age structure
More people converting to Islam than leaving it, unlike Christianity, Hinduism, or Buddhism
@GeraldineElore@EndWokeness I remembered when Biden used this hadith by the Prophet of Islam to connect with Muslim American voters: “Whoever among you sees a wrong, let him change it with his hand; if he cannot, then with his tongue; and if he cannot, then with his heart and that is the weakest of faith.”
I’m probably being daft, but why are we still sacrificing young men and women as trained killers for king and country, what about better political systems that avoid war in the first place!
What about civilian shelters integrated into city planning, modern bunkers & distributed power grids, drone swarms for defence rather than offence & disposable robots, food independence systems, water purification and storage.
Gen X is sitting this one out.
A Union Jack and a St George’s flag don’t belong to this youth mob.
If you assess the situation by looking at this and only seeing that they’re home grown white boys, rather than ill‑behaved, misguided youths, then there’s nothing more to be said.
The UK state pension is £241.30 per week after 35 years of National Insurance contributions.
The guaranteed minimum income for someone who has paid nothing, niete, zilch into the system is £238.00 per week.
So a lifetime of hard work paying tax and national insurance is officially valued at £3.30 a week.

@LBC Imo, our attention should shift toward managing future water resources and the dangers of advanced media manipulation, including deepfakes and voice cloning.
@LBC Tech billionaires got what they wanted, this technology is here to stay. Some people will use it responsibly, others will exploit it, and some like POTUS will get hooked on it!
Sure, there’s some crime at the Notting Hill Carnival, as there would be at any massive event in a major capital city, but there are also moments like this.
Check this out for community policing—this is the multicultural Britain I love.
Why am I paying taxes on my paycheck… then sales tax just to spend that money… then income tax on money that’s already been taxed… then property tax on land I bought with taxed money after paying sales tax on it… then vehicle tax just to drive to work… gas tax to fill the tank… energy tax to keep the lights on… death tax when I die… and God help me if I try to save any cash, because they’ll just inflate that away too.
