Lawyer here: I add Idiot Tax of £200 on to my fees on matter where someone has made an offer on a house "£123,767" instead of a simple round number. It's not clever, it just marks you out as a twat.
Glad that’s not a thing on eBay! My last second bids always end in the same odd number of pence in an effort to beat other people doing similar.
Anyone else feel like the whole #QAnon / “Deep State” conspiracy thing is actually broadly playing out as theorised? It’s just implicating “the wrong people”, as far as the right is concerned…

Bit disappointed we never found out what happened to Nina. However, that does leave guilt and grief as the explanation and, as the outcome emphasises the depth of those feelings, it becomes more unsettling than some “sinful” motivation. Even with the significant time lapse, it still feels credible, which is some accomplishment.
★★★½ (contains spoilers)
Follows the heroic efforts of the crypto-zoological agency Monarch as its members face off against a battery of god-sized monsters, including the mighty Godzilla, who collides with Mothra, Rodan, and his ultimate nemesis, the three-headed King Ghidorah. When these ancient super-species, thought to be mere myths, rise again, they all vie for supremacy, leaving humanity's very existence hanging in the balance.
When a foster home placed teenage rebel suspects that her father is not dead but kidnapped by UFOs, she takes help from a UFO association to find out the truth. Together, they embark on a risky adventure that takes them far beyond the laws borders and into a world filled with UFO expeditions, conspiracies and inexplicable phenomena.
If this was in 6 parts, it could have been a TV show I watched as a kid and I’d have loved it 😊

Shocker. Women and girls failed again by health services…
Mastodon, in my experience, is unequivocally left-leaning. People that use mastodon (/the Fediverse) want more people to use it, to help free us from centralised tech overlords. But, apparently, there now needs to be some gatekeeping because people are seeing things they don’t like? The irony.
This somehow passed me by… apparently Israel’s own records show that at least two-thirds of them (46,200) were civilians. Absolutely lunacy.
