Introverts aren’t shy, they just have high social standards. They love deep talks that actually mean something, not small talk about the weather. That kind of stuff wears them out fast. They’ll find one or two people who get them, share the parts they usually keep hidden, and that’s all they need

Nothing better than rediscovering forgotten/lost sweets/chocolate (assuming it's still good)! 😁🍫❤️

Or perhaps the *perfect* place to start... 🤔😅

The Daily Telegraph complaining about Brexit border checks 🙄🙃

Left populism without most of Corbyn's extensive baggage, expressed clearly, is clearly going to find a lot of support, not least when he'll also take on Reform on their own ground.

My scepticism of simple answers will remain, but broadly still I think positive.

Former Head of Comms for the IEA, Annabel Denham, says the super rich will leave if we have a wealth tax.

Yes, the very same IEA that brought us Liz Truss’ disastrous mini budget. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Green Party leader Zack Polanski explains that their taxable assets can’t leave. #bbcqt

I blame the fools who added in July & August without correcting the very explicit numbering/naming convention already in place 🤷🏻‍♂️🙄

I'm not an economist but seems worrying that the whole US economy is seven companies in a trenchcoat, passing the same $20 up and down

NVIDIA and OpenAi:

Concerns that their “increasingly complex and interconnected web of business transactions is artificially propping up the trillion-dollar AI boom.“

Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?

I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

I can't unsee it now - it could either be a sticky toffee pudding in a bowl or an ice cube in a glass of coke! 😆

It's like the blue-black/white-gold dress photo all over again...

Morning Womble! I've just started A Song of Legends Lost by @mhayinde.bsky.social!

You know it's going to be epic when it starts with a map and a 4-page Dramatis Personae 🤩❤️

My wee one (9yo) went around *closing* all the curtains yesterday afternoon as he was complaining it was too bright 😅☀️

This is why Starmer's strategy is so baffling. Being pro-Brexit, anti-immigration and generally reactionary is NOT going to win over the Daily Mail or its readers, so why do it? All it's doing is repelling those who DID vote for him... 🤷🏻‍♂️🤔🙄😡

How many do you end up enjoying? I think it would only work for me if I wasn't allergic to DNFing 😅
