I know that it's people, but I genuinely can't grasp how people are trying to buy the left thing and thinking it's the right thing.
Seriously, how are they trying to buy the named thing and - in at least needing to take mittens off numbers on GTP alone - buying the thing that isn't called that?

Just twigged after a couple of years why my daughter's dog-nannycams irk me. They look like EVE in fancy dress as Kenny.

These ads have been scraping the barrel for some time, but this one's scraped clean through the bottom, the planet, and the bottom of a second barrel positioned on the antipode.

The latest image thief is now on #13, and is a particularly dim one (although given that the articles are also ripped from mine and shoved through an LLM, copying deliberate errors I've made, maybe not a person).
They're ignoring me completely, so please do recommend a service if you know of one.

I was too nice about Berlin and it didn't want to let me leave. Inbound plane caught a bird at takeoff and had to return. Combined with the cyberattack, we left five hours late (on an 80min flight), so I had to stay overnight in Amsterdam 😤

This was a riot to drive, even if it was virtual and I had to do it in front of a live audience. If any commissioning editors want words, hmu.

No remote applicants? Even if I have extensive experience of driving cars I'm not even in? 😁

Slightly less bad picture, with all nine. Amusingly I would have had a much better view from home, but I wasn't home.
