@Thewearyadvent1 Allo Allo is also a heavy hitter.

Was driving into work this morning and was thinking theirs have been some great British comedies over the years, here is 4 that came to mind straight away, not an easy choice, what would be your favourite?

@Shrink_at_Large Yes indeed, but they clearly can't be arsed. I went to my local supermarket yesterday and yet another change making it harder to interact with a human to buy food. Stressful, but nobody gives a hoot.

If the government really want to make people's mental health better, they could start by making things less shit.

@rpgcyrusrite @KevinLamb74 These changes aren't woke. At worst, a dumbing down of art, in line with the style of computer games like BG3. The smile on Karlach suits her character and her non evil nature, contrasted against her infernal Tiefling appearance.

@KevinLamb74 They keep doing this. It's what happens when you put the Wrong people in charge. They would have done much better to re-release items instead of mucking them up with woke garbage.

The Forgotten Realms, then and now. What a downgrade. #FantasyArt

@rpgcyrusrite @deanhsjones @KevinLamb74 Yeh, the classic style has changed and I preferred that, but the new stuff isn't exactly SnarfQuest. 😅😉

@deanhsjones @KevinLamb74 Compare to Larry Elmore, Clyde Caldwell and other greats.

@KevinLamb74 The artwork on the right isn't as great, but the characters at the bottom are heavy hitters. Karlach, Minsc and Jarlaxle. What's not to like, apart from the art style?

@momo_obrien Ouch. Sounds like you've got a nasty situation going on. Take care, and I hope things get resolved.

@Shrink_at_Large Yes, the email response from my MP clearly indicates she knows people are concerned about fluctuating conditions. She mentions it several times, but she is not linking this to Severe Conditions Criteria.

Labour woman: condescendingly trying to reassure about fluctuating conditions. Says WCA allows for fluctuating conditions. But its not about WCA - its about Severe Conditions Criteria. #TakingThePIP

@Thewearyadvent1 An underrated movie. Even by me. I'll have to rewatch.

In my top 3 films, is it in yours?

@cherthedev Sparkly. ✨

I won an award at school and now my name is on the wall with 149 alumni.

@CllrDanHamilton Oh my gosh, poor kid. That's 72lbs, plus the rider, piling into him. Awful. Yeh, sadly the correct design for these is barely ever implemented, due to space, so the UK ones are inherently unsafe.

These bus stops have long struck me as fundamentally unsafe.

@cherthedev This gave me an intrusive thought about setting up a 28K US Robotics modem as an alarm clock, because that noise was also intense.

the sound this thing made still haunts me

@Shrink_at_Large Both dogs and people seem to bark a lot less when they've been on a nice long walk.

Silly psy cartoon for the weekend!

@jayzheather7 @Shrink_at_Large Love blueberries. 💙

@GrumpyHatchling @Shrink_at_Large Blueberries are great for hot weather

I’m waiting for my shopping with an ice cream and cold drink ready in case the delivery person wants it. Partly because it’s so hot in London, partly because it feels good to be kind. We need to see kindness as central to our civic life, politicians. It’s all so very cruel.

@Shrink_at_Large You're right of course. Whenever someone comes out with that sort of comment due to their perceived superior wisdom, I often think of this Bird and Fortune skit on the Subprime crisis. youtu.be/mzJmTCYmo9g

It’s bizarre being trolled as “fiscally ignorant” for defending anxiety and depression as reasons for disability benefits. If you think abandoning people saves money, you don’t understand economics. The indirect costs are far higher—and there’s data you probably haven’t read.

@Shrink_at_Large Maybe Kemi should ring the EASS and they'll talk her through the meaning of disability in 15 minutes. It's not difficult to understand.

Kemi Badenoch says the term disabled is “at risk of losing all meaning.” No, Kemi. It’s you and your colleagues who are dragging disability back to a 19th-century idea that only the most visibly broken bodies count. That’s the real regression.

@FlapOffYouBeak @theindigosystem @Shrink_at_Large My dad had to go through PIP as well. At that point he could barely walk. I still remember him saying to me on the phone "I feel so guilty". PIP needed a big overhaul, but they've done nothing to improve it. Just cost cutting. Pathetic.

@GrumpyHatchling @theindigosystem @Shrink_at_Large I plunged into depression Anna’s needed time off work after my last review in 2016. I was awarded more. But accessing support shouldn’t make us worse!

Filling in an LCWRA request with someone. Second line: “Please answer honestly. We’ll need to check what you tell us.” You’re sick, but assumed dishonest by default. This is the cruelty built into the welfare system. #BinUCBill

@FlapOffYouBeak @theindigosystem @Shrink_at_Large Yes, I agree. Rather strangely, my ESA assessment with a mental health professional actually felt validating, but the attempts of the PIP assessors felt deliberately abusive. Filling everything in ahead of time, so depressing.

@Shrink_at_Large Well said and thank you for saying it. 😊👍

Sorry, but I just want to take a second to register something about how much we, as disabled activists, have achieved against all odds. Every tweet, every email, every banner, every MP meeting has made a horrendous bill that bit less horrendous, and that’s hugely significant

@theindigosystem @Shrink_at_Large I spent 3 months writing up 11 pages on all the things I can't do. It was soul destroying. I'm not safe in a work environment either. Physical and mental risk to myself and it's very distressing for others to witness my meltdowns. Disabled by society and environment mostly.

@GrumpyHatchling @Shrink_at_Large I refuse. I tell them how my conditions affect me daily and what I can’t do and that I’m not suitable for a work environment for the safety of others and myself. I can do some things sure, but they are not employable skills.
