The eternally talented Mr @mortenmorland bringing memories of the equally talented Lynne Truss (author of Eats, Shoots & Leaves). I wonder how much Sir Kier is literally telling us here ….

TL;DR: If we claim to focus on rehabilitation over punishment, we need real support for prisoners—job coaching, skills training, housing help—before release. Our current approach isn’t working for anyone, & we need a proper budget to fix it, alongside restoring winter fuel pymnt.
Replying to @Channel4News
This is a desperately sad state of affairs. If we’re claiming to be more lenient with sentences because we focus on rehabilitation over punishment, then real work should be happening inside prisons. We should be lining up interviews, offering job coaching, and providing skills training. Prisoners should have support in finding accommodation, like bedsits or hostels, before they’re released. Right now, ‘rehabilitation’ feels more like a rinse and repeat cycle, costing billions and clogging up the justice system. As a country, we need to make a choice. Either we commit to genuine rehabilitation, helping people reintegrate and grow, or we enforce sentences so harsh that they deter crime altogether. The half-baked approach we have now isn’t working—for prisoners, for victims, or for taxpayers. Let’s set aside a decent budget to fix this. And while we’re at it, we should also restore the pensioners’ winter fuel allowance for 36 months and work towards a fair, means-tested solution. We need to get this right—for everyone.

Amjad @amasad forgot to mention they reached AGI with @Replit agents now making 3d models out in the real world. Maybe this local minimum is not quite the local minima, if you will. 🌌

This bloke is unbearable. If he isn’t moaning about one thing, it’s another. Also FYI, pasteurisation is basically just a cheat code for the industry to not bother about looking after their livestock. B/C why bother, right? If at the end it’s pasteurised (etc) u can sell 💩 for💸
Raw milk is disgusting. We live in a first world civilized society and people are actively choosing to consume milk riddled with E. coli and listeria. Pasteurization is not some evil sorcery. It just kills the dangerous bacteria you morons.

I’ve said it once and many times. Whatever your job is, whether you agree with that person or their job or not, you should never go to work and face or fear violence. Thoughts are with this presenter and her crew. nitter.gq/skynews/status/1820529…

The people in this video are unhinged and a danger to society. Anyone who attacks sworn law enforcement in this manner should be sectioned / committed immediately and indefinitely. The threat they pose to the public is immeasurable. 📩 Email your MP: members.parliament.uk/FindYo…

Our baby son took his first steps today ❤️ (My Mum’s response was ‘did you film him’ which I think is how a grandparent says Well Done when they didn’t witness the milestone 😂)

M-F my 1yo is WFH. Saturdays he’s in the office, our local pool. His whole vibe on a Sat is “I’ve got stuff to do mate so can we get a move on” 😅 Sundays are great, we’re all off 🫶 . #ThoseWhoCanShouldHaveKids

Is it just me or does the 1st of the month being on a Friday make you have the same feelings as drinking too many coffees in the morning 🫠

First time I’ve seen a post from Imri, so thanks 𝕏 algo! They highlight a hugely important part of working for a salary. 👉 It’s one of the most liberating things a person can do. 💯 Make sure outside of that 9-5 you build your life. Be that friends and family or a side hustle or ‘you time’. 🚯 Don’t trash on the thing that keeps your bills paid, see it as your vehicle to a better life.
Your 9-5 is a gift. It makes you immortal. You are: • Not financially dependent on your projects • Not going to kill your projects by running out of cash You can: • Fail • Iterate • Learn A 9-5 is a great means. It's just not an end. Make the most out of it.

Look @kelsey_laymon I’ll go right ahead and create a Safe Space for you to share your Spotify Wrapped by using my 4 Apple Music wrapped screenshots. 👇 1. Find anyone with a more random ‘eclectic’ top 5 artists. 2. See how my kids playlist has 3X the next closest playlist and how I’ve done less than 10 hrs fitness this entire yr. 3. Top albums were our attempts of finding music to help put Lucas to sleep. 24k Magic has over 500 plays… & we only started trying Bruno in September. I don’t know what that says about us as parents. 4. I realised my algorithm had been stolen by family life so we now just say ‘play music’ at a speaker and know full well it will be what the kid wants. 👉 Bonus: I just Doxxed myself as an Apple Music subscriber. This will take time to heal. N.B. kids TV is a great artist and everyone should listen. That’s just facts.
can we normalize not posting our spotify wrapped, im too embarrassed
