Human, just about. The only things that keep me sane are: music, motorsport, snow sports, craft beer & cheese. Never been nibbled to death by an okapi. I block stupid people & bigots.

Good series, but a huge red flag is literally every single scam is based around #Meta products, #Facebook and #WhatsApp.

You can't be upset about the proposed UK ID card scheme, and be upset about prisoners being accidentally released.

Pick one and be consistent with your objection. That also applies to idiots in the media, including the #BBC.

Turning into a proper #rant day today today. Bands that think a UK tour is Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, London.

Some of those places are only an hour or so apart.

Lazy fuckers, I'm not driving 300 miles to see them, because they can't be bothered to do a proper tour.

Dear all companies that use click tracking in your emails, you can fuck right off if you think I'm going to disable all my privacy settings, just so you can track engagement.

I'll just find a different company that values my privacy.

Reposting with Alt-text:
The lady at the charity shop today told me that she wishes people would clear out their children's old toys in the lead up to Christmas rather than after because she always sees a number of parents in the days before Christmas looking for toys for their little ones who might be strapped for cash. She said there's very rarely anything in just before, but that they get inundated with toys in the days after. And it really made me think about it in a way I never would have before. If you know your child is going to get lots of presents from father Christmas this year, by clearing out your cupboards a few days early you could make another child's Christmas a lot more special too. Saw this & thought I'd repost

I'm in no doubt of 3 things in #f1

1/ there is racism at play
2/ the #fia learnt nothing at all from #AD21 with #MX25
3/ #FIA are engineering and manipulation the season to run to the end by shielding #verstappen from penalties.
