I’ve spent the bulk of the past 18 hours reading social media. I feel a little queasy. A bit like a day of eating only pick’n’mix and poo.
@aden_76 Excellent, thanks! I shall en-Tumbl it tomorrow. Enjoy the rest of it!
As is traditional, the pleasure of BBC’s Glastonbury coverage is enlivened by discovering what UI annoyances they’ve introduced this year.
Yeah, these are both good reads… twitter.com/tomskitomski/s…
Two articles are worth reading on why what just happened, happened:
theguardian.com/politics/comme… & perc.org.uk/project_posts/…
@eFrame Thanks, but I’ve ordered my frames elsewhere now!
@GreatDismal There’s a difference between “detained” and “in hiding”.
I’m enjoying Christina and the Queens at Glastonbury bbc.co.uk/events/ewcj5v/… Seem nice, fun. French though, so won’t be allowed for long.
Ohhhh. . . . . . . !!!!!
Folks at Glastonbury look like they’re having a good time though, so that’s lovely to watch. Thanks BBC. While we still have you.
I don’t think I’ve ever found myself wondering if there’s any point to being nice. Doesn’t seem like a route to success and happiness rn.
Still, at least the socialist utopia that all those left Brexiters wanted will be happening any day now hahahahahahaha
@anneshewring You have my sympathies in this difficult time.
Well that's taught us peace loving, country running, money earning, forward looking, liberals a lesson
Morning.

Take back control.
No you take it back.
No you fucking take it.
You touched it last.
Why Brexit is like Linux:
- Requires rebuilding your workflows
- Lots of compatibility issues
- Only more free in theory
- People regret it
@philgyford thank you and have a lovely evening.
Ugh, the new Matthew Barney movie looks fucking terrible.
