"X" is like that for me these days. I don't know whether it's because anyone i was following has decided to leave or whether the changes in the "For You" vs "Following" tabs have been Musked about with so much that i just don't understand how to use the platform anymore, i can't say. Either way, it no longer takes up any of my time.

This one is purely because of Musk fucking with the algorithm.

X and Facebook are both a fucking disaster now. Its not even random shit in with what you actually want to see. You increasingly can't see the stuff you actually want through the barrage of ads and random people the algorithm decides you want to see.

Seems like no matter how many times you hit 'not interested in this' on something it will just keep coming back again and again.

They have to be losing users.

And it was all back again the very next time I logged onto Facebook.

Before anyone mentions it I'm already using a content filter which supposedly blocks unwanted content.

Dogs in coffee shops. It's as if the "no dogs allowed" thing doesn't apply to places where people are eating.

In Neros in Warwick now. Three dogs.

Agree on the dog shit issue, but Tbf to dog owners, you never see a cat owner picking up its shit! And here in the sticks, horse riders positively chuckle as their steeds shit in the road and trot on!

Had to put some chicken wire across some flower troughs in the front garden to stop a cat using them as a toilet, bloody hate the cats, first they murder birds then they shit in your garden and their poo smells so bad.

Well it's state sponsored, so from that POV and editorially you'd assume that's the way,the direction they wish for the country to go for whatever reason.
You obviously get a lot of it on yt too, ostensively a critique but seemingly cheerleading him?

The BBC leadership are all hard right people installed by Boris and seem to have just switch to Reform from the Tories. Endless breathless pieces about how amazing it is they came third, zero policy scrutiny. And this is R4!

It amazes me how Reform voters think the BBC is left wing, it like ita predecessors has always had disproportionate coverage for the number of MPs it has

Would just be nice if they would actually look at policy like they do with every other party and not just give them a free pass cos Farage makes good telly.

Brexit seemed to scare them into over hyping the far right, that was solidified with Johnson’s changes IMO. Like yeah it’s news Reform are doing well, but that’s not where your job ends. If the Tories are dead, firstly that’s news on its own, most successful political party on the planet in history dead and it’s barely mentioned.

Brexit generally seems to have completely stopped the BBC from serious political reporting and now everything is gossip reporting. I genuinely can’t remember the last time I heard an actual policy discussion on the BBC. Or for that matter anywhere else because if the BBC don’t do it the partisan media certainly doesn’t.

Sorry, can we keep politics OFF this thread? There are plenty of other outlets on here for that, and i don't want to wade through the same set of antagonistic point-scoring as is on the other threads.

Fair. It was more the general decline of R4 that had wound me up but will do.

Slice up a few lemons and put them in the flower bed, cats hate citrus, failing that, assert your dominance and take a shit in the flower bed yourself.

The A5 between Hinckley and Treacletown.
Surely the most fucked up stretch of trunk road in the country.
I can drive sixty miles along it from north Wales direction with nary a hold up, but can guarantee that the last few miles to home just off the A5 will be a stop-start mess (and that's if a lorry hasn't hit the railway bridge - which happens with alarming regularity - in which case, forget it!
