Not sure why some people do engagement bait posts and get 10,000 responses while other people get zero. Something about how transparently it seems contrived to go viral, maybe? It has to seem like you were just *casually* interested in knowing about the first hat people bought or whatever.

Every time I hear a list of symptoms I spot a few more of mine that I hadn’t previously attributed to my MECFS. This time it’s itchy eyes and nerve tingling. 😳 Not sure if it’s that I’m gradually developing more symptoms or down to lack of medical support and having to do this by myself (or both)

Oh, Nick. I guess it’s a blessing that she was found so you can cremate her. Never easy though (I’m welling up here myself). Think of you both - and your other cats, who will feel her loss too x

A disaster for the UK Green Party. Even if you think Israel is engaged in colonial rule, military occupation, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, war on civilians, and genocide on some definitions, it is a terrible idea to formally declare yourself an anti-Zionist party.

1. She's president's human binky & controls his social media 2. Foreign govts use her a conduit for Trump 3. She's lied about much of her background 4. She wouldn't or couldn't get security clearance (see 3) 5. She has an obsession w/ Trump giving their relationship a vaguely inappropriate dynamic

I managed to get 5 hrs of (horrible) sleep - my youngest will be home from school soon though and I should eat something. I guess I’ll be doing as little as possible today.

Well, there can’t be justification for that really, but I don’t know. Definitely seems to have been a targeted attack though

Still haven’t slept but no one was hurt. The couple must have been terrified though - they were trapped in their back garden until the fire brigade managed to get them out. Hope the police get whoever did it

4:04am. Trying to settle myself. Heard 2 loud whomps about 3.15 then saw flames up the street - the house 3 doors up just had their cars petrol bombed. Awful. Thankfully only the cars damaged, no people or their house. It’s such a quiet, out of the way street. Horrible that anyone would do that 😔

“590 out of 10”?? Did they use bad AI to generate this share link lol. I actually got 5 out of 5 detecting fake/real photos, videos and audio 👍🏻 _____ I played Investigations from AP and got 590 out of 10. Can you beat me? Try it here: apnews.com/quiz/inside-...

"Scammed" will be streaming starting 7pm EDT on PBS and YouTube, about 3 hours from now, or you can watch it when your local station airs Frontline tonight. I'm gonna say that yeah, it's probably gonna be important for loads of people.

On BBC recently they added a mini-series “Hey Beautiful: Anatomy of a Romance Scam” which was good - I think it’s on Hulu, it’s an abc News show (unless you are able to watch on iPlayer with a VPN?)

Well if ever there were an example of pointless AI, I just found it. Emailed customer service of a company. Got the standard automated ‘thanks, we’ll be in touch’ email, but then 4 mins later I get *another* email saying ‘a human will be in touch within 3 days… this is AI generated’ Just… why?????

I just got a text that was supposedly from a local Dem candidate asking for volunteers, not $, & it had a “link” to the description of what they need that contained “run.setup.exe” I didn’t even have to open the text to see the string, but I’m an old nerd & wonder how many ppl would miss that.

I know there’s so much competing for your attention, but I’m very proud of Listen with Other and I’d be delighted if you gave it a try. Each series is standalone so you can start anywhere. If you like it, tell your friends. If you don’t, tell your enemies. I’m not fussy.

Good morning. Today, I'm going to give a little push to my second collection of stories, 'Intervals of Darkness', from 2024, partly because I think of it as particularly autumnal. www.amazon.co.uk/Intervals-Da...

The cover of Intervals of Darkness in black and red with an image of a figure being stalked through a dark space by an unseen figure, with a quote from author John Grindrod: "Existing somewhere between Robert Aickman and J.G. Ballard, these blackly funny tales are sure to chill you, no matter how high you turn the central heating."
