Ohhh the level of dross on LinkedIn now, particularly since AI took off.
No-one knows how to write normal readable English any more. It’s all hyperbolic nonsense, and that’s even those who haven’t had AI write their prose for them.
If this is your first sentence, nope.

Look what they are doing to all the icons for anyone who is on the *previous*, not multiple releases behind, even just the previous release (18)..

Yodel is a nightmare at the moment.
No idea if this is due to the InPost acquisition shenanigans or what.
Parcel #1 permanently stalled at the delivery depot.
Parcel #2 has languished inside the network for five(!) days.
#1 was refunded, so reordered via another seller who also use Yodel. 😩

People have lost the plot. Up until the Beeching cuts the country was criss crossed with railways and trains that were noisy and belched out smoke!
Ohh the windmills! Ohh the pylons! 😤

Well this is slightly optimistic from EE.
I only went to Dover!
Have to say the NT White Cliffs visitor centre is very nice. Lovely cafe and lots of walking routes.
Great view of the port!

I’m still quite gob smacked by this and no-one has really talked about it (from the NS piece on Starmer).
I’m sorry what?
The article didn’t question it at all.
Why is a British billionaire funding a British Navy warship?
What does he want out of it?
Who agreed this was a proper arrangement?
