Dead on. My hunch is he’ll turn on Bezos first as a warning to the other, social media owning, oligarchs.

Have two. No. Three. Three’s the limit really. The fourth just feels wrong.

Yeah. You’re probably right. I’ll get my coat.

I have noted a deterioration in fruit/beg quality but thought it might have something to do with worsening climate. But Brexit is probably an underlying cause too. Why not get fucked over twice?

My dog just nominated me for the Nobel Prize for Literature. Kind of him, but no one seems very impressed.

We have a Carnegie library at the end of our street. Wonderful place.

I just think his timing was impeccable.

It’s an abstract at best.

Dogs. Difficult barky bastards. And then they’re amazing.

That or a bacon and egg sandwich — without sauce.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.

I was wrong to agree with Nick all those years ago.

“Remember, kids, we wouldn’t be in this mess if we hadn’t invented the printing press.” JG, all the time.

Incredibly beautiful game. I was more than happy to break from the story and just travel around and think.

He has a handy screwdriver too. One of those electric ones. Good at time and DIY. A bit like Handy Andy.

It seems like it’s generated a very reasoned and compassionate debate too. No shrieking or wild accusations. Passionate, yes, but respectful and thoughtful.

I wish I had an anti-scorpion checklist. Okay. Scorpions aren’t a thing here, but it’s good to be prepared.

Exactly. Also didn’t want to use a platform that actively stoked fascism. Or use a platform that was using Tweets to train X’s AI. Coming here has nothing to do with seeking out an echo chamber.
