If you screenshot an image from Twitter, and that tweet is a political one, and then you post it here and what's more you don't even put alt text on it ...
... then oh boy you have never seen my fingers move so fast to that Block button.

It can be hard to calibrate a new chippy. For future reference: one large chips would have been entirely adequate for 3 people.

Hmm this scheduling is annoying.
An hour of 1999 Top of the Pops at 7pm.
Then two hours of watching men playing with their balls before #TOTP resumes for '86 and '97 at 10pm.
Not sure how much of that I'll be watching but I'll aim to give some of it a go.

I don't recall ever seeing Jolly Ranchers sold in Britain, in fact I only know of their existence from American books & movies.
But it seems that due to them containing certain additives that are legal in the US but not in the UK […]

Beggin' yoo-oo-oo-oo-ou
To put good fuckin' alt text on pics 🎵
I have the name of the American president muted. Muting works on pics as well. I've seen his grinning mug FIVE TIMES in less than half an hour because even when people do alt text they don't type his name.
