@HugoCGuerra @Langley333 That’s been for a while, honestly they 100% want people to pay for new ones

@Langley333 I finally discovered why they are doing this! The new kindle devices have Ads in them, which you have to pay more to not have ads. I’m assuming they couldn’t put ads on the old ones

A Kindle is probably one of the most low-tech devices ever made, so why is @AmazonUK discontinuing support for Kindle 1st and 2nd Generation? Why are they forcing new stuff without reason? A KINDLE IS A TEXT DEVICE! There is no need for updates. Text is text! #amazon #kindle

@SMccoull @amazon They’ve added ads on Goodreads suddenly too. As if Amazon don’t have enough money

@amazon nice one you greedy sods. I think I'll be going back to actual books then, bought from an actual bookshop instead of Amazon, rather than waste money on a new Kindle I don't need because my current one works fine! Well it works until Amazon breaks it! #amazongreed #greed

@CapitalOfficial who knew Will Manning was such a Bieber fan

@spotistats mine isn’t working today, it’s not showing most of my stats. For example, I’ve listened to this album loads but all the songs on it show 0 listens yet I can see on the album it says 1692 mins

@saffronandsky @Redheadeddead @NeleHelena Plus I might not use it for months then suddenly in crisis out of desperation I know I have something there. It’s not a fix but sometimes a net of things to try can feel reassuring

@saffronandsky @Redheadeddead @NeleHelena I add and change things in mine for novelty reasons, but I also use it as a prompt. Like I have singles of some things - like oh I have a nail polish in here, let me go find a colour I feel like. Oh there’s fluffy socks, let me find something cozy I’m in the mood for.

I hate that basic mental health advice is always made for the physically abled. "Go for a walk. See a friend. Learn a new skill." Yeah I'm too sick to do these things. That's why I'm restless and looking for advice in the first place. Also... 1/3

@Mark__Lawrence I thought your library trilogy was beautiful but DAMN 😍

I'm so lucky to have Tom Roberts doing the covers for this trilogy!

@PaulJohnson65 @Michael_S_Green I used to eat them in the 90s!

@Michael_S_Green Weren’t they more of a 70s thing? I collected wrappers which were then sent off to purchase a Jungle Game board game. The counters were porcelain Wade Whimsies animals.

Who else remembers these from the 1980s? I can remember getting one every Friday as a treat on my way home from school.

@JennyAThatcher Me neither!

Am I the only person in the UK that has never watched one single episode of the Traitors?

Finished making this bluebrixx gingerbread house today!

@BladeoftheS Agree, they should only be taken by those meeting the criteria. However they are incredible drugs that are often demonized.

@BladeoftheS And bone demineralisation, again, nothing to do with the drug. Any large weight loss especially if lost quickly can cause this. They are incredible drugs in managing obesity, and all drugs have risks. Many oral contraceptives have a risk of blood clot and stroke.

Ozempic and all the other GLP-1 receptor agonists have been shown to cause muscles loss, bone demineralisation and even liver shrinkage. They are far from risk free.

@d5_rss @DrNeenaJha @fillthewhole Again, similar to why they’re worn to prevent disease transmission. The droplets from coughs and sneezes contain and transmit the illness. Likewise, in surgery, masks protect the body from germs.

@foxinthemist @DrNeenaJha @fillthewhole The mask is worn to prevent body fluid contamination nothing to do with a virus. Talk about being utterly clueless

GP clinic full of patients with flu symptoms & not one wore a mask If you’re seeing your GP & are coughing, sneezing etc… please wear a mask We have vulnerable patients in our waiting rooms & as HCP we’re also trying to protect ourselves from the ++volume of flu pts we see 🙏

@d5_rss @DrNeenaJha @fillthewhole So if you have surgery one day, remember to advise your surgeons not to wear a mask when operating on you as they don’t offer you any protection should they cough on your open body

@DrNeenaJha @fillthewhole Why they don't offer any protection against a virus

@GreatStoriesPod November story? 👀

@bruxical @Shrink_at_Large Labour are at this stage hand in hand with reform.

@Shrink_at_Large This constant knocking of Labour is almost guaranteeing a Reform government.

Lucy Powell voted in favor of the Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment Bill at its Second Reading in July. She supported the Labour government's position despite unanimous condemnation from disabled people and the DDPOs that represent us. She voted for our poverty.

Don’t say he doesn’t spoil us 🤩
