Bit woke isn’t it, we never had my Grandad cleaned. He did smell a bit towards the end though.

Interesting article regarding vaccine misinformation and the fall in uptake. https://www-bbc-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1jgrlxx37do.amp?amp_js_v=0.1&amp_gsa=1#webview=1&cap=swipe

Absolutely depressing reading. Great writer and poet and I was a big fan of Amanda Palmer too, not seen anything from her but she will hopefully be vocal when the time is right.

Makes you think though

Had snow for over a week now.

Yeah, but prove it though

We should dedicate a particular day where all posts have to be in the form of Haiku, then maybe sonnets or the like on another day.

Is this real? I’m not on Twitter and I’m aware of lots of misinformation and AI generated nonsense people keep repeating (mostly my boomer neighbours).

I had my reply to a racist post removed with the same warning. I don’t mind as the post I replied to was also removed.

Margins I know but it’s better than the Manilow stuff

Not sure this link will work, it was sent to me and I’m a dunce with social media. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DB8tGycRgy3/?igsh=ajUzYmpucXNlaTUx

They’re probably on this forum

One man’s pleasure is another man’s pain as the saying goes. It would be near to the least appealing thing for me. No problem with others enjoying themselves, I love diversity. Not for me though.

Cracking four albums there 👍

Not sure how influencers can be dealt with when the results of their misinformation are so widespread. Everything from climate change to health issues seem to be fair game and normalised by social media. https://amp-theguardian-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/amp.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/dec/30/tiktok-online-influencers-medical-misinformation?amp_js_v=0.1&amp_gsa=1#webview=1&cap=swipe

Wouldn’t be so bad if they gave us some info on this Soros involvement in government(s). You know, something we could fact check ourselves using reputable sources. I’ve read that he was a Nazi back in the day (fact checked and debunked), owns Antifa and Black Lives Matter (fact checked and debunked) funded the “not my president” protests against Trumps 2016 election win (fact checked and debunked) to name a few. Most of these conspiracy theories have come from the likes of Steve Bannon and his followers, normally without any proof whatsoever. My fear for 2025 is that this is going to get worse.

No different to the Armco (?) currently used for decapitating bikers limbs then.

Not read yet, just received for Christmas. Got four other books on the go atm but will fit this in somewhere eventually.

This sort of conjecture/conspiracy is exactly the reason that I don’t use social media.

She’s done a few decent covers and her band are pretty good but this is the standout one from her, excellent version.

Christmas fascists. I’ll eat what I want when I want*. 😡 * Don’t tell my wife 😬

Bought this on preorder and listen to it most days
