@Jtaylor0_3 I can't help but feel Vader's presence makes sense here, though. Considering there are three force users and the Inquisitors are obviously not capable enough to stop them, Vader is the logical next step.

Despite all the problems of US legal immigration, the green card process isn't too expensive and you get many rights. By comparison, the UK is sadly putting up barriers even on things like spousal immigration, which makes it hard to think about ever living there with my wife.

"It is essential that the privilege of living in this country forever is earned and not automatic." Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood outlines new immigration reforms, including expanding the qualifying period and meeting certain conditions to qualify. trib.al/D3GGSxT

When I started living in the US I was taught very quickly that 20% is the expected minimum. This is far below that. Many US restaurants unfortunately underpay their staff and so these servers rely on tips to survive. It is not good, but it is what the system is right now.
Mr PitBull Stories@MrPitbull07

We went to a dinner as a group and had a $500 bill. We tipped $40. We were happy we can be able to give our server something, but her reaction was the opposite. She told us she assumed we're going to give her at least $120. When we asked for the manager, she said she was just joking, but she wasn't smiling at all. Idk, but is $40 tip enough for $500 bill? I just feel like expecting $120 is not realistic. ~Lea Robertson

Reshuffles in government are inevitable, sometimes things don't work out, personal scandals happen etc but I strongly dislike how often minsters are reshuffled. You can't expect coherent government policy when ministerial positions are reshuffled every year like a house of cards.

@JoeOTooIe Yeah, I'd probably agree that I think the benefits outweigh the risks for mail-ins because at least you can vote in private in your home unlike online voting where there is no security at all.

@JoeOTooIe Generally, yes, but there are still risks. Used to know a councillor who'd steal his 50+ tenants' postal ballots and post them all for themselves. That does not happen often, I admit, but it's always made me uncomfortable about anything not in person.

Banning dating apps is not the solution. As I know, the majority of my friendship group and I would not be in the relationships we are in without them. Although dating apps are not perfect, they've allowed lots of people to connect who otherwise wouldn't, which is a huge benefit
Aaron Bastani@AaronBastani

BAN THEM. Dating apps are making heterosexual men and women dislike, and sometimes even hate, one another. They encourage the worst possible behaviour towards other people and degrade…everyone. youtu.be/pWjkyJiSYY0?si…

@EllStats I don't think this is true. According to Tony Gilory, neither he nor Diego Luna wanted to do 5+ years of Star Wars so they cut Andor from 5 seasons to only 2 intentionally. deadline.com/2022/08/andor-…

Disney ran an experiment to see what would happen if exceptional writers and directors were given full control over a Star Wars show. It was wildly successful and everybody loved it, so naturally they cancelled it (Season 2 is the last season) x.com/starwars/statu…

It was great to attend the first All Party Parliamentary Group for Students in my role as Community and Wellbeing Officer to discuss how we can improve housing for students. It was also good to meet so many amazing students and student officers ⬇️
NUS UK@nusuk

Yesterday, we hosted the first APPG for Students of the new government, and our members made it one to remember! We had 10 MPs and a Lord come to hear over 50 of our members talk about student housing and what politicians need to do to improve it for students.

As part of my role as Community and Wellbeing Officer at Leicester Students' Union, it was great to meet @ShockatAdam MP in Parliament to discuss the importance of abolishing guarantors in the upcoming renters' rights bill via amendment, all of which he received positively ☀️
