People often tell me i'm the most Sceptical person they've ever met, but I find that hard to believe.

No effing way. They made the orange buffoon Time Magazine person of the year and not the bloody legend that is Gisele Pelicot!?!

Yeah, I'm entirely baffled by this.
Did they do anything about catching the mugger?
Doesn't sound like it. However, they do pursue the victim of the mugging, having found one of the items wasn't stolen after all, because that's in everyone's best interests, right?!

I'm not saying I'm old, but this month one of my uni housemates got a hip replacement and another friend was made a bishop...

No real idea what's the point of skirkle.me... But making pretty circles and posting them here distracts me from wanting to bang my head against the wall due to work issues! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Good to know the local wildlife are plotting to kill us...

Clearly causing a burst pipe in the ceiling (they stripped the insulation) 2 years ago didn't send enough of a message!

Buffer also posts on LinkedIn for free, whereas you need a premium Metricool for that. ๐Ÿ˜‰

I use buffer for my work stuff - you can only have 3 social media accounts for free and frustratingly Bluesky doesn't like video only still images, but it works.

Metricool better for everything else though.

Ok, your task next time you come in and here's there (moving would be too conspicuous now... Unless you're heading out for lunch... ๐Ÿค”) is to pick a spot where you can see his screens and whether he's just watching cat videos! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Arrgh!

OK Bluesky, one complaint. The deleting of half-written posts as I edit a photo to share is driving me nuts!

I return to this app and it refreshes and is gone!

Please! A temporary draft system or something!?

Aha, the Bluesky algorithm is working! For me, at any rate.

While I had completely forgotten who I used to follow on Shitterโ„ข, familiar faces are turning up in my ๐Ÿฆ‹ feed anyway! Bonus! ๐Ÿ‘
