“Advertising doesn’t work on me!” I mutter smugly, before loading up the Apple keynote to see what my next phone will do.

and those that do post don’t really interact with others

I’ve found quite the opposite on Mastodon. I get WAY more interaction on there than I ever did on Twitter.

I do a radio show on Monday nights. Despite having more followers on Twitter I never really managed to attract many listeners. Dropped it for a few years and started up again a few months back, publicising solely through Mastodon. Engagement with it is three or four times what it was before.

It’s essentially a request show, and there have been a couple of weeks where I’ve not had to pick any songs to fill the time, all of it has been filled by listener requests.

That said, that’s only my experience, it may be different for others.

Today I sold my beloved 2008 Mini, partly because, while the engine was still completely sound at 130k miles (barring the turbo that blew up three years ago), the rest of the car was beginning to fall apart. One of the rear light clusters kept shorting, interior panels worked themselves loose, the AC stopped working, the self leveling mechanism in one of the headlights broke. And so on, and so on.

I’m genuinely sad that I had to let it go, but it was on the cusp of being a massive pain in the ass to sort out.

But that engine was still solid.

Yes yes, true, but then they would have less money. They might even have to rescind their membership of the Three Comma Club, and could you have that on your conscience?

Only brown skinned ones whose first language isn’t English.

So no Chuck Tingle books then?

I ditched it entirely the day they admitted that killing third party apps was a feature not a bug.

I used Tweetbot for ten years, so the idea of having to raw dog a fascist’s plaything didn’t appeal to me.

We used to have media studies at school. I know my brother took it, but four years later, when I joined the same school, it wasn’t available to me.

What did media studies actually involve?

Pure deviancy.

I try not to engage with anything this shithead is involved in, but,

Blaming the left for unrest

As in a number of other towns and cities yesterday, the anti-fash here in Southampton MASSIVELY outnumbered the thugs who’d come to protest. The end result was…no unrest, no violence, nothing got smashed up.

‘The Left’ aren’t the ones getting arrested over all this.

I often ponder how differently things might have gone if only that plane was going a shade faster.

Aren’t all Croc wearers?

May St Peter be at the pearly gates, waiting to receive his limp penis.

Yeah, that’s why I’m quite pleased at the city’s showing.

Was quite pleased to see the fash outnumbered at least ten to one in Southampton last night.

We’ve got quite a large Eastern European immigrant population, so it’s nice that the city turned out so well.

Yeah, we Brits are grandfathered in on account of not aggressively invading anyone’s country (on our own) for at least 60 years by now. Possibly.

What about the bloody Beaker folk, eh?

I loved To The Moon, which fits your requirements, I think. The sequels are fine, but the stories are pretty well standalone, so you could play just the first one and leave it at that. And it’s only £1.70.

I finished that last week, and yeah, it’s wonderful.

Additionally, the previous governments made it really hard to apply for benefits, even if you’re entitled.
