If I tell a driver to stop accelerating so fast, I am not telling them to stop the car
And if I tell someone I want to abolish the triple lock increases on state pension, I am not telling them I want to stop the state pension
I don't know how to keep explaining this to people
The story goes like this:
@chesscom convinced @MagnusCarlsen that they could prove Hans Niemann’s over-the-board cheating. On that belief, they acquired Magnus’ company and made him a brand ambassador. Magnus, the world champion, was stuck when no solid evidence emerged. Eventually, he had to settle in U.S. court, while @HansMokeNiemann proved himself innocent. Many top GMs stated that there were no “superhuman” moves by Hans Niemann in the Sinquefield Cup. Now, Magnus is moving forward with @TakeTakeTakeApp and @lichess , but ultimately, Chesscom used him.

@CliveWismayer@ananyamiglani@chesscom@MagnusCarlsen Watch the documentary…
I don’t know you but (other than hearing Magnus discuss the settlement) I can imagine you getting the urge to go to NY to play chess in the street.
@ananyamiglani@chesscom@MagnusCarlsen I don’t believe he settled. Niemann’s hopeless, badly-pleaded case was thrown out. No evidence was required. That’s my recollection.
Things should be out of reach for people on benefits.
Not being able to afford things you want is the incentive to work, work harder, find better jobs or retrain.
This could prove a very expensive error by GB News. Drake is famously litigious, accusing him of "rapping about raping women" is quite a false claim to make on air.
Remember when the sunshine brought fun & happiness.
It now brings wanna be "Gansta" stabbathons.

This was painted by the late Harold Riley in 1968, we have had a few people in the gallery recon it’s Bob Marley, what do you think?

@skumWgmi Gen X here. Told someone thirty years younger than me at work that his (leased) car was nicer than any I had ever had, and his rental accommodation was better than any I ever had.
But I’m an arse for owning property that I saved and worked hard for.

Boomers are the first generation to enter adulthood richer than their parents and leave their children poorer than themselves.
In human history that has never happened before.
They didn't build the American Dream.
They borrowed against it.
Gen Z is paying the mortgage.
@skumWgmi I’m a boomer and don’t see it that way.
I paid my child’s college tuition though I never went.
She makes more money than me and I’m proud not angry.
So what is wrong with you.
Kanye West has been banned from entering the UK to play Wireless Festival, as it would have been terrible to have a prominent public figure going round Finsbury Park condoning antisemitism
There was a time when figuring out the purpose behind US wars was an interesting challenge. Maybe there was a gas field somewhere or a pipeline project, or it was the military industrial thing.
This one seems to be just plain dumb. No plan, no upside, 🇮🇱’s bitch. WTF is going on?
Genuine question for anyone over 50…
If your house dropped 20% in value, your state pension was means-tested, the triple lock was scrapped, and your private pension pot didn’t keep pace with inflation, what’s your plan?
Because at least two of those things are coming. Probably three. And nobody is talking about it.
@AndyMpolitics@NotFarLeftAtAll I don’t gamble but I would make an exception and stake good money this driver goes at 40 in 30 zones.
Read the Highway Code.
@PhilGriff586@iAmJoshHunt Trouble is… what do you do.
The philosophy is one thing if an elderly person ‘loses their marbles’ or their physical health.
There may be no choice🤷♂️
My 88yr old dad says “No way!”
If he won’t let me give up my job too care for him what’s the choice?
A lot of people are banking on inheriting their parents’ house as their retirement plan. But their parents are going to need that house to fund their own care. Social care costs can run £50-100k a year. A five year stay in a care home can wipe out the entire value of a property. The wealth transfer that an entire generation is counting on may never arrive
