@marc_robledo Hey, where can I grab this and is there a release date if not yet? Thanks ♥️

You're much more likely to become destitute or a displaced refugee than you are a millionaire, so stop dreaming about your personal gain and start acting in the interests of a fair and equal society, devoid of kings and tyrants.

@CadburyUK Absolutely a con, tried over MANY years and never any free, but oh no... You can totally buy one....

@VOXImobile any chance there could be a permanently dismiss option for the pop-up box upon logging in at all? I don't need to see it EVERY time. Thanks 😃

@RetroGamer_Mag Ridge Racer 4; the storytelling made it something more than JUST a racing game and added an unusual layer to a racing game I've not really experience elsewhere.

Royal Mail has been told that it could save £650m by only delivering things 3 days a week.

Did you know that the taxpayer could save £4,000m a year if Royal Mail had never been privatised, or if it was renationalised, and deliver 5 days a week.

I'd go with that.

At least they’re honest.

Day 3. Left only a shadow at Harrow Court. Chatham to Bluewater to Bexleyheath to Lewisham to Penge (South London). 5 buses, 3 Wetherspoons, 1 huge Mall, several new recruits, blue skies ….& lots of litter.🥲#beautifybritain #1pieceofrubbish #pickitup #everyday #redruth #London

Happy 35th Birthday to the original Nintendo Game Boy (DMG). The way developers took advantage of this low spec, low power device is still amazing to me all these years later.

Rishi Sunak today announced plans to review the fit note system for people who aren’t well enough to work, with a focus on mental health.

His speech continues a trend in recent rhetoric that is stigmatising, harmful, and inaccurate.

@stuartthomas @RailDeliveryGrp @LNER Trains are simply unaffordable; National Express is regularly a fraction of the cost of a single rail ticket, let alone a return. I prefer train but the costs don't add up compared!

Bought a lottery ticket and got excited about the possibility of being able to buy a house. Something my grandparents' generation were able to do just by working.

I find Outlook's spam detection to be poor at best, so much legitimate mail marked as spam and spam delivered straight to my inbox. 🙄

[Chris Frantz @frantzfries]

email deliverability is so hard to get right that Microsoft just filtered their own welcome email in Outlook into "Junk" on a brand new account 🤦‍♂️

[Firefox @firefox]

You said it, not us 👀

Because retro games don’t have dozens of micro transactions or DLC where I have to shop at Fred Meyer or eat at ihop.

A Railcard for everyone? 🤔

So where's the one for people travelling alone in their 30s & 40s?

I mocked my mate for not getting with the times. He still uses his MP3 player from 15 years ago instead of Spotify. He uses DVDs instead of Netflix. But I've realised he's right. It's the only way of being able to fully own media now, since streaming removes content forever now.
