Working on this because it is arcane, unnecessarily long, and very clearly 100% in favour of giving gen AI whatever it wants for no reason

I am holding A PINT OF BEER next to a pretzel that is three times the size of it. It dangles from a frame that is roughly the size and shape of the thing they dangle the shark from on the wharf in β€˜Jaws’.

Omg. That is a pretzel. A pretzel. The tiny thing I’m holding next to it is a pint.
I know things have gone a bit crazy recently, America, but… God bless you.

A long silver bar with many many feet of beers on top. Or maybe that should be yards.
Apparently there are 130.

All the beers. Literally all of them.

I have been introduced to The Yard House and I am never going to leave this place until I have tried all these beers.

Is 1965's Chimes of Midnight a masterpiece, or just an excented 'look at the silly man'? Find out what Roger and I, with special guest Michael Cule, thought in #RibbonOfMemes ribbonofmemes.org.uk/archive/2… #Podcast #Film #Movies

If only there was a simple way to explain all these facts that didn’t involve greedy vets….πŸ€”
But as prices go up, animal welfare suffers. I think the competion investigation is a Good Thing so long as it leads to cheaper care for clients and better lives for vets. (2/2)

Re: veterinary prices… my two cents. There is a difference between the veterinary industry and the veterinary profession. I will note that vet prices have increased greatly in recent years. Vet salaries, funnily enough, have not. Most vets are owned by large corporate groups now. 1/2

Sometimes I’m pretty sure β€˜sweet easy peelers’ is an ironic title.

My handsome, rugged visage is gazing smoulderingly from a patina of blue and black face paint. My lips are painted thickly and red as a ruby’s red bits.

When my 6 year old daughter said β€˜Daddy I want to practice Halloween!’ and I agreed, I hadn’t really thought through the implications.
