Once drove an Outspan Orange, but doesn't look good in a hat. Away baby, let's go!

Hey @autocarofficial.bsky.social, your follower numbers won't go up if you don't post anything. Some of us here are trying to give up on Elon's mouthpiece

I've noticed recently the em dash with no spaces either side seems to be becoming common use. Assume it's a Word thing just Like Capital Letters For Every Fucking Word Of A Headline!

I do a change all to space en dash space as it should be

Just had a look at Twitter for the first time in ages. Wow, every 4th post now seems to be an ad for some crap gadget that probably doesn't even exist.

The crazy decisions and constant churn of stewards since his passing, makes you realise how damn good at the job he was.

30 examples of anachronyms - English in Progress Anachronyms are words that are used β€œin an anachronistic way, by referring to something in a way that is appropriate only for a former or later time.” (Source) I chanced upon the term through a Reddit...

I've become slightly obsessed with anachronyms; words that are used in an anachronistic way, by referring to something that was appropriate in a former time.

E.g. to clock in, to film something, to hang up the phone, to dial a number.

I've collected a list.

"Forty-two years ago, for reasons beyond my comprehension, David Lynch plucked me out of obscurity to star in his first and last big budget movie. He clearly saw something in me that even I didn’t recognize. I owe my entire career, and life really, to his vision.
 
What I saw in him was an enigmatic and intuitive man with a creative ocean bursting forth inside of him. He was in touch with something the rest of us wish we could get to.
 
Our friendship blossomed on Blue Velvet and then Twin Peaks and I always found him to be the most authentically alive person I’d ever met.
 
David was in tune with the universe and his own imagination on a level that seemed to be the best version of human. He was not interested in answers because he understood that questions are the drive that make us who we are. They are our breath.
 
While the world has lost a remarkable artist, I’ve lost a dear friend who imagined a future for me and allowed me to travel in worlds I could never have conceived on my own.
 
I can see him now, standing up to greet me in his backyard, with a warm smile and big hug and that Great Plains honk of a voice. We’d talk coffee, the joy of the unexpected, the beauty of the world, and laugh.
 
His love for me and mine for him came out of the cosmic fate of two people who saw the best things about themselves in each other.
 
I will miss him more than the limits of my language can tell and my heart can bear. My world is that much fuller because I knew him and that much emptier now that he’s gone.
 
David, I remain forever changed, and forever your Kale. Thank you for everything."
