Was I supposed to be able to buy a main conference ticket just now?

This, and also the thought that somebody might look at an email I've put time and effort into putting together and thought "Oh, I can't be bothered reading that I'll get AI to summarise it" 🤮

A bland, concrete, five-storey post-war building, with seven groups of four windows each on each of the upper floors, retail space on the ground floor. The top storey is outlined in red.

I can guarantee you are NOT ready for what is going on behind this bland façade in Schöneberg, Berlin, but take a look anyway. The enormous top-floor apartment is on sale for 2.3 million yo-yos, and it is described by the realtor as a "one-off". Uh-huh.

Apparently my credit score has gone down because I switched energy provider - which is saving me money. Their recommendation to improve it? Get a credit card. Yeah thanks.

A Google search for "what is the time in hong kong" which includes a People also ask section with queries like "Is hong kong 12 hours ahead" (which it isn't for me).

Even simple searches on Google are polluted with rubbish pretend content/features these days. Why on earth would I care about these similar searches.

"Too busy for lunch" but plenty of time to post 6 times a day to LinkedIn about how hard they work.

Going well so far.

Gregggg's only TV work now is going to be on GBeebies complaining about "woke" and if that dries up, whatever dumb conspiracy is doing the rounds.

Seems sensible to me; aside from SEO problems I've seen several cases of people using them to hold personal details/commercial information they don't realise is publicly accessible.

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up.

If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds

It really is like early Twitter here, although I preferred the fail whale.
