I think it's pretty important to understand that algorithmically-run platforms have long understood anger and argument drives much more engagement than just showing you stuff you like, and if you find yourself being made to despair at what a platform shows you, that is the system working as intended

Trip coming up, based nr Whitby & edge of North York Moors NP - tell me your fav prehistoric /historic sites round there to visit!
Someone should let CBP know a big chunk of the world's airspace is currently closed and 'irregular' routes may well be the only way to get home.
That's so interesting, thank you! I didn't think they drank tea in the Indian/Chinese sense, but fascinating that herbal teas are a possibility.
"How do I always manage to sound like a tool?" You are so close to figuring it out! So close!!
61 years ago today, a group of 600 peaceful protestors began a 54-mile march from Selma to the steps of the Alabama state capitol in Montgomeryβ in response to the police murder of 26-year-old Army veteran Jimmie Lee Jackson during an attempted march in Marion, AL two weeks prior.

Have said this before in other forms, but will reiterate it here: if you're doing long-form writing of any sort, reading the words aloud into a microphone is a completely unparalleled cheat code. It's free, easy, and so effective it feels like it shouldn't be allowed. I do it in a few stages...
My photo shows a museum display with colourful Minoan pottery cups arranged on three clear shelves, one above the other. These cups, known as Kamares Ware, are from Phaistos, Crete. They were made in palace workshops, c. 1800-1700 BC. The cups range in shape and size from conic and cylindrical cups (top and middle shelves) to hemispherical and carinated shaped cups (bottom shelf). They are decorated with multi-coloured geometric motifs; with spirals and swirls painted in red and white pigment on black.
Sipping my coffee βοΈ and thinking about these marvellous Minoan cups!

The biggest risk to women continues to be the men they live with, work with and know. We continue not to believe that.
Being a local councillor's hard, if you do a remotely decent job. And I think you're right, they thought it would be all giving orders and weren't remotely prepared for the reality.
Exactly as you'd expect, not supporting the people who need it most. I really think control of councils will be bad for them, because they're finding out it's so much less simple than they thought and can't deliver what they promised.
Looking at Reform's performance when it does have control of a council makes me think voters who've experienced that won't be keen to give them more power.
Drills? Phwoar.
Ended up making a card in PowerPoint (I KNOW), because I just couldn't bear "Hope You Have A Lovely Birthday, Lots Of Love". A person has their limits.
Wait - the corner of Olympic and Cloverfield, Santa Monica? Ladies and Gentlemen, that is almost exactly the location where the old Buffy offices stood. I believe we may owe thanks for this one to the Hellmouth.
Trying to send my cousin an online birthday card and the website just...can't do normal, sentence case text.
Your options are shouting in all-caps, all lower case, or Every Word Capitalised Like The 18th Century. Thank you, but no.
