The loud, wheezy hoot of the pit horn used to signal the end of the shift. Blaring across the town, it blew the changes. We'd all hear it. My father, as his father before him, was a GP in Ashington, a large mining town in Northumberland. Ashington was the hub of a network of subsidiary collieries including Woodhorn (now a museum), Ellington and Lynemouth, which both appropriately featured as film locations for Billy Elliot. Mining was in the local blood. To work 'doon the pit' was a proud profession and a natural family succession. ✍️ Alastair Irvine Article |

Asking for a friend: Would any @fomo or @Polymarket employees please start insulting @beniduboss? Personal preference: FOMO, because the entire cabal of fake 'traders' (who are also the investors) slaughter the average person via inside trades on that platform, and use the so-called ranking "leaderboard" to lure in more victims to the guillotine. And the company literally steals 10% of a trade through bad fill slippage, stealing from its own fucking users on every sandwiched trade. The app is a vibe-coded piece of slop, exactly engineered to lack the most basic trader-friendly features to optimize fleecing traders.
