Yes, but what this stat doesn't tell you is that this was 23 times on the same bloody car journey.
Olly Murs 'Save Me' is my top Spotify song.

That is not even remotely what a scientist does, Harmon. Not even close. A scientist's job is to *understand* and *illuminate* the world. This is such a perfect example of tech bro disruptor genius cult nonsense.

Okay, I can't let this one go. I live in Ireland, not the UK, but the use of this image by a supposedly socialist party is so stupid and offensive, I'm going to get stuck in.

Let me explain to you why any experienced illustrator/designer could have stopped you making so many miserable mistakes. 1/
A post by Zarah Sultana of 'Your Party', that uses a generated image with the words 'Your Party, County Durham Launch', surrounded by nine simple, flat images of images in silhouette with single colour backgrounds, presumably intended to represent Durham, four of which are a man with a weirdly long pick-axe, one is a building, two are gantries of some kind – for a coal mine? – and one is some kind of floating lamp. I will expand on this in the thread.

I am begging Bluesky to please, please, please hire a comms person. They keep trying to engage people to explain why paraphrasing Johnny Cash is wrongspeak and end up looking more and more ridiculous.

Dudes. You flag Victorian trick films for graphic violence. Just. Stop. It.
