Sorry. Stiles and I occasionally forget our manners on other people's threads 🫣😳

Agree. I feel we almost got there before certain people got involved with certain social media platforms, and any attempt at accountability just stagnated. And then there was that election...

Is it too late, do you think, to regulate it somehow?

I'm here for all the cars and dogs - and bumblebees and bugs, bats etc.

And how's that going?

I keep thinking more and more these days, even as social media has brought me great benefits- we'd be better off without the Internet as it is. I never thought I'd feel that way.

For some reason, your post is making think of Lucky Charms cereal, BrendaR

That is outrageous*! I've been overtaken (on the proper side at least) on our road whilst doing the speed limit. So many people should just lose their licenses. Full stop.

*Also I had to stop and think about that for a minute.

Maderbräustraße in Munich, the epicentre of the 1844 riots. A black-and-white photograph of an empty city street with church towers in the background. The photograph was taken about 3 decades later, but the Maderbräu building still existed then. It is visible in the left foreground.

For four days in in May of 1844, protesters controlled Munich and the army refused to fight them. We do not talk enough about these things. Also, a #Dampfnudeln recipe from the #19thcentury.

No-one says ‘Fast food isn’t going away, so let’s work out how to incorporate it into your diet’, yet we are often treated to the same non sequitur when it comes to AI

Someone I've been friends with since my mid 20s and I recently spent a Friday evening messaging oven cleaning tips to each other. So much for late 90s Edinburgh Subway, CC Blooms, and Finnegans Wake...

Off topic, I love it when my work trips to London mean I have time to wander around the Barbican, so thank you for sharing the photo!

I despise Teams as an educational 'tool' with a towering passion of abhorrence.
