Just like to add that Twitter is ACTVELY stopping me posting this EXACT same post!

It literally posts, then doesn't appear even on my own page, I get a "Oops you've already said that post" warning.

I take out the Palestine fund link and it works!!! They don't want me posting about Palestine! 🤬🤬🤬

As if today wasn’t annoying enough I’ve now got an un-ID’d earworm of a house track (90s?) that starts with about 5 seconds of the American national anthem. #Help

Eric Clapton is like Clifford the Big Red Dog dropped a log after being constipated for a week. Just an enormous piece of shit.

𝕭𝖑𝖆𝖈𝖐𝖔𝖚𝖙 𝕻𝖗𝖎𝖓𝖈𝖊𝖘𝖘𝖊𝖘 @doomdisco.bsky.social · Sep 12

Eric Clapton is such a cartoonishly huge piece of shit

“He said, ‘Yeah, what are you gonna do about it? You’re a girl. You don’t have the money to fight this.’” Rita Coolidge says Eric Clapton owes her a writing credit for one of the most celebrated songs...

The Grammy-winning singer helped pen the piano coda that closes "Layla," but was never credited despite her pleas to the guitarist

Happy #909day to those who celebrate. Here's the mad psych-rock / techno thing I made with three 909s and three 303s.

The check mark

More in the ALT

Muted hazy pink and mauve background with thin white lines and a splatter of bright yellow. A black check mark sits center with a white stripe overlay off center. The white text reads “seven: the check mark”

One of the earliest usages of a check mark as an indication of completion is on ancient Babylonian tablets "where small indentations were sometimes made with a stylus, usually placed at the left of a worker's name, presumably to indicate whether the listed ration has been issued.

The check mark is a predominant affirmative symbol of convenience in the English-speaking world because of its instant and simple composition. In other language communities, there may be different conventions.

It is common in Swedish and Norwegian schools for a ✓ to indicate that an answer is incorrect, while "R", from the Swedish rätt or Norwegian riktig, i.e., "correct", is used to indicate that an answer is correct.

In Japan, the O mark is used instead of the check mark, and the X or ✓ mark are commonly used for wrong.

In the Netherlands (and former Dutch colonies) the flourish of approval (or krul) is used for approving a section or sum.

In German-speaking countries, ✓ is used for “correct” or “done”, but not usually for ticking boxes, which are crossed instead. The opposite of ✓ is ƒ (short for falsch “wrong”).

Just for a second, take a step back, and remember that these are the actions of a 56 year old man towards a 17 year old girl.

He and Brooks met at a Battle of Ideas conference on 19 October when the scriptwriter “approached her with his phone, recording her and calling her a groomer, and asking how many she had groomed”, the prosecution said.

Brooks subsequently called out to Linehan outside the venue and asked him why he had called her a “domestic terrorist”.

Julia Faure Walker, for the prosecution, said: “At this point Mr Linehan could’ve explained why he had called her a domestic terrorist, if indeed he had an explanation, or even ignored her … rather he responded in a way which is indicative of his extreme personal animosity towards her.

“He said ‘go away groomer’, ‘go away you disgusting incel’. He called her a ‘sissy porn-watching scumbag’… He deliberately whacked the phone out of Ms Brooks’s hand.”
