Yesterday lunchtime: I’ll just quickly fit those mudguards to my daughter’s bike.

Okay, so it’s Christmas and I’m reflecting on my year in music. I’ve made it my mission to see (and perform) live music this year. It’s been going well. Here’s a thread of just a few of the acts I’ve seen this year… 🧵

1st pane: a blue man who's tied up says "zzzz-w-what where am i?" clearly distressed
2nd pane: the red man also tied up says "you're in the trolley problem!", we can see a trolley, the tracks, a rich man controlling the lever, several ppl tied on up on the tracks, and on the other tracks some bags of money
3rd pane: [blue guy continues speaking] i thought i would be the one operating the lever...
it shows a close up of the rich man, green skin, monocle, top hat with red band and black suit. there are 4 bags o fmoney and he seems very happy to operate the lever
4th pane: the red guy says "no that's someone else"

Worth noting that people such as Dominic Cummings subscribe to the COVID lab-leak conspiracy. It’s been a kind of “acceptable conspiracy”.
