@higgyboson @RoyalMail the only mail i get on time now is special delivery. everything else is now 10 to 14 days on average.

@strawebi I thought that was the mice

did you know bunnies are actually part of an underground network of highly intelligent animal life form? I think they retain all knowledge of the universe or something like that🐰

@politicshome @LibDems £22.90 per day my train. Approx 30 miles each way.

The government should cut rail and bus fares to protect people from cost-of-living pressures exacerbated by the Iran war, Ed Davey has said The Lib Dem leader also called for a 10p fuel duty cut to protect people more reliant on cars, like those in rural areas Davey continued his attacks on the Tories and Reform over their calls for the UK to join the initial US strikes on Iran, referring to the "Trump, Farage, Badenoch tax" politicshome.com/news/article/r…

@IntCyberDigest You've been trolled GG

To be honest, I don’t believe this is real. The marketplace/threat actor is new and doesn’t have a track record. We asked Lockheed Martin for a comment. Stay tuned.

‼️🇺🇸 Lockheed Martin has allegedly been breached and 375TB of data is being offered for sale on what appears to be a Russian 'Threat Market'. They've priced the highly confidential data at $598 million...

@SandyofCthulhu The best games always include both elements of RNG luck and strategy.

As many of you know, all modern boardgaming is divided into two factions - casual gamers and avid gamers. Avid gamers can't usually enjoy the classic casual games - Monopoly, Scrabble, etc. can be a real drag when you're used to better things. Luckily, casual gamers can enjoy many real games - you just have to pick the right ones. My wife is emphatically casual, for instance but she's happy to play Ticket to Ride or Collosseum. Now the problem arises, for me, within the avid gamers which are ALSO split into two factions - ameritrash and eurogamers. Now, the great stereotype is that ameritrash are huge sprawling totally unbalanced super fun games and eurogames are tightly-balanced, carefully-crafted snoozefests, but of course there is overlap and exceptions. The iconic Ameritrash is Axis & Allies while the poster child for Eurogames is often Settlers of Cataan. Now one stereotype of eurogamers which is spot on is that they hate any random element. When I designed Cthulhu Wars, I had two random elements. First the hidden Elder Signs - when you take one, no one knows its value except you. The other is combat, which is dice-based. IMMEDIATELY after publication I had suggestions from Eurogamers how to "fix" my game. Make all the Elder Signs 2 points. Replace the combat dice with a fixed sequence of results. This was urged upon me innocently, with apparently no idea that I could possibly disagree because how could randomness be good? But I LIKE some randomness in a game. When I'm shaking a fistful of dice, hoping and praying for a decent roll, the thrill of expectation, the joy or tragedy of the result to me all add to the fun. The randomness of the Elder Signs means that you are never really sure if you are ahead - there's danger and risk added to the game. Like you, I hate games that are totally random - but you get enough Elder Signs and combat rolls in Cthulhu Wars that it balances out. And since strategy is even MORE important, everyone who's played it has seen someone with consistently good die rolls lose to someone who outwitted them. Now, I think my way of playing is the best. But if you buy my game, it belongs to you. You can change the rules as you please. Just don't blame me if the results are not all you hoped for. Also please tell the other players you changed the rules. It's only fair.

@UKLabour How about now?

Say no to Tory cuts which will leave disabled people & those too unwell to work £1500 worse off. ↓ #StopESACuts labour.org.uk/esa

@UKLabour But his name begins with Sir

This Labour Government is the most working-class government in the history of the UK.

@_Unknown_D_ the last time it was good was in the 90s

In my entire adult life I dont think I've ever experienced an economic boom in the UK. Graduated a few years after the 2008 financial crisis, and ever since then it's been either economic stagnancy or recession. I would love to see what an optimistic, booming economy looks like.

@OBEhizele I'd believe you more if it had not been going on for 40+ years

I thought it would be helpful to do a proper thread addressing this. The scenes in Clapham aren’t just about crime or policing. They point to something deeper: what I've come to call "urban nihilism". 🧵

@Saskiaaa_____ 26436 people posted the same thing today.

£26436.80 is the new min wage annual salary (40 hrs p/wk). And as the min wage rises, regular salaries don't. So many people will begin to ask themselves 'why am I working this highly stressful job that needed qualifications and a tonne of bullshit paperwork and police checks just to earn 5k more a year than I would stacking shelves at Lidl?'

@0hour1 Usa would be speaking native American if it wasn't for the Americans

Everyone in the UK would be speaking German if not for the United States.

@UKLabour x.com/i/status/20393…

Don't forget what Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch would have done if they were in charge.

@UKLabour How about now?

For people on Universal Credit, £20 a week is the difference between feeding their family or not. Boris Johnson is about to take away this lifeline. We say: cancel the cut.

@osmug60 @iSlimfit Don't be jealous

@iSlimfit A woman in the queue at Tescos yesterday spent £133 on ready meals, booze and various types of chocolate. The only nutritional value was a bag of tangerines. Now she may do additional shops for the good stuff, but looking at her, I doubt it.

British people will spend £4 on a meal deal every single working day, never cook, never calculate the annual total and then wonder why they can’t save. £4 a day is £1,040 a year. Eaten in a park. Under grey skies. In a triangle sandwich. This is not judgement. Just observation.

@iSlimfit @RealVersatile £3.85 isn't £6

@RealVersatile It’s more like 6 quid now

@5DPigeon @Waqas_Inayat1 @iSlimfit @Tesco Tesco are giving away free meal deals if you can outrun the security guard.

@Waqas_Inayat1 @iSlimfit @Tesco 😂 You don't have to pay Tesco is communist and subsidised by taxes so it's staff can pick their nose instead of provide customer service The security guard is there to open the door for you in case you shoplift too much and can't manage.

@DavidMcGregorBN Liar, energy bills went up

From today, Labour has increased the minimum wage to £12.71 an hour, cut energy bills by £117, frozen prescription charges, expanded sick pay and brought in day one rights at work. Not bad for a government that’s supposedly “no different”.

@Ed_Miliband EDF went up today not down. @edfenergy

From today, energy bills will fall by 7% for families across the country. We took the decision in the Budget to ask those with the broadest shoulders to pay their fair share, and today we see the result of that. Vital cost of living support delivered by this government.

Need a honest opinion, What's stopping humans to just live in peace together ?
