If you’re fed up with constant problems and shitty service from legacy banks like Nationwide, Lloyds, Halifax, TSB, Barclays, and HSBC why not try a modern bank like @monzo.com? Their business accounts are awesome too. 👉 join.monzo.com/c/qyr4j2b

St Peter: Yeah, wow. So, um it says here you did exercise in the wrong way so because of that you have to spend eternity in hell. Pretty fair when you think about it really - I mean, that lady did warn you that one time.

"We're eating more cheese cubes - and loving it!" Have you read George Saunders's essay "The Braindead Megaphone"? Published in 2007, this part of it eerily predicts the direction America has taken since ~2014

I was very keen to switch away from Spotify to Apple Music, but my god it's a buggy pile of shyte. Even 3 months free + 6 months for £2.99 isn't worth it.

In all my time in the NHS and last few years in senior management, I have not encountered any time spent on imported US culture war issues. Thousands of NHS policies and documents refer to women and women’s health. This is just an attempt to convince Sun readers the NHS is failing due to “woke”

Worker ant. Sculpted, printed, cast, cleaned, assembled, patinated, polished…and she’s done. 14 separate bronze pieces, 7 nuts and bolts, 2 rare-earth magnets, zero visible fasteners. The animal itself.
