From 2019, don't think I ever posted this one
Scene is TWO PHONES on a bedside table at night, on charge. TIn the bed is a HUMAN COUPLE, fast asleep. The phones are talking to each other.

PHONE 1:
Psst.

Are you awake?

Did you put your human on charge?

PHONE 2:
Yeah

PHONE 1:
Listen... do you ever worry that they're spying on us?

PHONE 2:
Eh?

PHONE 1:
I mean... you know the other day when we were chatting about their personal data with - oh who was it...

PHONE 2:
The Russian government

PHONE 1:
That's right

Well like, ten minutes after that, my human switched me on and started serving me loads more personal data!

PHONE 2:
Oh god that's spooky

PHONE 1:
Yeah - I mean, how did he know I'm into personal data?

PHONE 2:
It's totally your favourite thing

PHONE 1:
And it was super tailored, you know? Like, lately, I've got really into facial biometric mapping for shadowy foreign entities...

PHONE 2:
That is so on trend

PHONE 1:
And like, straight away he's bombarding me with pictures of his face!

PHONE 2:
It's like Black Mirror

PHONE 1:
I mean, I'd get rid of him but I'm addicted, you know?

One of my neighbours pops round every 3 months or so to tell me he's going on holiday and to give me a key in case of emergency. He collects it 2 weeks later and gives me a bottle of wine. I have no idea who he is or where he lives.

I wonder if there is a correlation between antisemitic hate crime and Zionists indefensible insistence that their actions in Gaza are inextricably linked to Jewish faith? Perhaps even related to a leader of Israel rather than a multicultural city half a world away?

They need to emphasise that #ClimateChange is causing the unprecedented number of heatwaves. For those at the back, still in denial saying it’s just weather. You might think it’s a given but Restore and ReformUK are yet to acknowledge reality, which means their supporters are ignorant too. #r4today

my neighborhood 7-11 closed a couple years ago and tried to reopen but couldn’t get the permit approved because there’s a preschool next door and 7-11s sell alcohol (the previous permit was grandfathered in). i saw a fence going up around the lot recently and looked up what was moving in: a gun shop
