Scaffolding all around it, marked as permanently closed on google maps & seems to have been wrapped up according to companies house. I can't find any relevant planning permissions (at least not since 2013) & haven't seen any local news stories about why it closed. Any insights?

Truth or Dare 2017 Dir Nick Simon - Teens go to a house where a game of TorD went wrong and they play TorD and it goes wrong. Notable for Heather Langenkamp cameo, Harvey Guillén pre-What We Do in the Shadows and not much else inc. acting.
Truth or Dare 2018 Dir. Jeff Wadlow. Teens go to spooky church and get tricked into playing supernatural version of TorD. Things go wrong. (I watched this a couple of years ago and have exactly zero memory of anything in it, so it probably wasn't any good).
I've done light and lazy googling and can't find any obvious connection between the two movies, but it seems de

!When the rest of the zoom call pop up in the woods they repeat the line that Jeffrey is running late; for the whole of the rest of the movie I expected him to appear as a jump scare, or a joke, or to find the body. Yet he didn't?!<
IDK just seems weird to have that set up with no payoff? Or am I missing something?
No link yet as it's just happened; fire brigade on scene. Either dipshit fireworks people or even more dipshit deliberate arson.
Hot ash blowing into my garden from some distance away - absolutely terrifying.
This is a straightforward "what would you do in this circumstance" question.
I live in a cluster of cul-de-sac streets off a large main road. I know about 10 of the ~40 households in my cul-de-sacs, and no one on the main road. On the main road there is one house that is “the house” – it’s old, it’s set right back from the street and is obscured by high hedges and an overgrown garden.
I have no idea who lives there. Neighbours suggest it is a single older man, but no one I know has met or even seen them.
In the decade I’ve lived here the house regularly had (different) cars in the car park; the garden was vaguely cared for, at least to keep the drive clear, the bins were always put out o
The branch is shut (though the shop is open). Asking at another local PO the story was they were raided for money laundering, stories of black bin bags of cash being stored. I can't find any news stories or confirmation of this so wondered if anyone else had seen/heard anything definite.
I'm kinda bummed about it as it was a convenient location for me and despite being absolute chaos of parcels I never had a single problem sending or picking stuff up there, and there was never a queue!
On top of the tramway and HS2 disruptions, now there is a proposal to renovate Moor St station and expand the rail line leading to Bordesley.
The current proposals include demolition of several buildings and the eviction (permanent or temporary, unclear in many cases) of businesses within and alongside the railway arches, including compulsory purchase orders (where money will ofc go to landlords, not the small businesses made homeless).
This includes demolishing the Warehouse building (which houses Voce books, Sprocket Cycles, BrumRadio, etc) and destroying the Digbeth Community Gardens. I can't find a full list of affected businesses, but have seen it include OPM, Kilder, Midland Press,

I'm feeling a little lost in terms of gameplay at the moment; I've done the usual stuff, got a worm, got an ubergoat, built and unlocked everything that I think exists, managed my Noman tattoo this year.
I'm half heartedly working up to a worm saddle, and I am finding the new uni content fun for a bit, but I'd like a bigger goal.
If you're super end game, what are you working towards? Are there some fun lesser known vanity goals? I don't seem to spend that much time in zenith etc so anything substantial up there may be a new thing for me.
