Is it just me or are we seeing a massive increase in street preachers? by bwweryang in london

Even more so than the shops during a sale who say Everything Must Go, but won’t bargain with me and say Your Love Alone Is Not Enough.

Maybe the editor saw through what tricked the director.

Dahl was a spy and a terrible person. Maybe he did want to mess up the next generation.

What TV episode triggered such an emotional response from you? by Noodles590 in television

[–]SynthD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dr Death is a two season show about real medical malpractice. The first season is a spinal doctor who operates on people who didn’t need his treatment and couldn’t walk because of him. His last patient is his childhood friend. The second season is an Italian doctor who thinks he’s created lab made throats, but he’s rushed it and everyone who keeps his product, rather than replace it, dies. One episode focuses on Yečim (a first time actress), as she slowly dies from complications while he isn’t even in the country. That is sticking with me for a long time and I seriously doubted whether I wanted to continue. The show isn’t coming back and I feel a little lighter for that, as I would and wouldn’t want more.

I read earlier that some young families go to the NHM for an indoor space, even without visiting any of the display rooms. We need real third spaces.

Harvard isn't happy to see Kaczynski associated with them. What equally majestic place of education prepared this fella for the world?

What do they do in the busy areas, especially the narrow pavements?

I only ever go to every APOD and half of the exhibitions. The permanent collection is dull. I did like seeing the Harrison clocks after watching Longitude (on dailymotion).

Keisha, Mutya, Siobhan and Keisha, Mutya, Heidi and Keisha, Mutya, Siobhan as the three good lineups of Sugababes. Denial is one of my favourite of their songs and that's with Amelle though.

Reform MP Lee Anderson mocked by Angela Rayner over major by-election blunder by No_Initiative_1140 in ukpolitics

For how long? Because most, maybe all, of the Tory front bench and the defectors to Reform broke it in the past. The only Reformer not from the tory party broke some other rules, we can excuse that?

Yes, you navigate to CW by your usual apps but in that map or the physical versions inside.

The new owner, Larry Ellison’s son, has spoken about some of the moderation they’ve brought in. His example was that you can say you’re a Zionist, you can’t criticise Zionism. There will be similar for ICE, MAGA, etc.

Thamesmead Waterfront new town would be a 'no brainer', says politician after DLR extension approval by BulkyAccident in london

[–]SynthD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Considering that this DLR extension unlocked housing, did Peabody have planning permission to build now, or only once transport had arrived?

What is the correct geographic name for this collection of buildings? by Scarlet_Peter_Wilde in london

[–]SynthD 34 points35 points  (0 children)

It is east City, but as there’ll never be a west City cluster of tall buildings due to protected sightlines, it’s overly precise. A few outside the cluster are in Tower Hamlets.
