@RickASamuelson I'm a huge PSB fan, particularly the very early 90's stuff. 🤘
If I had one tinfoil hat theory it's that Tears for Fears visited a mirror universe and stole Depeche Mode's demo of 'Shout'. #cosomusic
@ArcturusSaDiablo 'Viking Bikers from Outer Space'. How has no one done that yet? ®️
@TheBigWu Kind of... but I still get the two guys who played a biker and a Viking mixed up when I see them in things that don't have motorcycles and purple boats with wooden jerseys.
@Kaysymmetry "“Okay, so I’m going to say, ‘Where’s the evidence,’ and then you’re going to present some evidence, and then I’m going to say, ‘Innocent until proven guilty!’ and then you’re going to explain that only applies directly to criminal trials, and then I’m just going to make a violent threat against you.” Spot on! 🎯 💯
First comment I came across on a Metro article the other day started with 'innocent until proven guilty' followed by truly lame reach.
Mornings are my nemesis. I don't even closely resemble a functioning primate before 10am.
I had to drive into work for 7am today, to then walk to an 8am on-site meeting, which meant getting up before 6am.
It's a good job he turned up; he lives to be a complete bastard another day.
... and, yes, it could easily have been a frigging email! 😩

@thedisasterautist The Met are appealing for victims to contact them.
Even with the best investigative journalism, victim accounts, those journalists aren't 'official investigators' in the scope of the law; police need complainants: victims to come to them.
I have known police make arrests when there have been no complainants, but via corroborated witness accounts and our CCTV proved an offence, but I'm reasonably sure collated 3rd party evidence (media) cannot instigate a police response.
@arunshah Better to have no friends at all than bad ones. 👍
@GeorgeG I have AdGuard on my Android phone, use ReVanced to block YouTube ads, and used a patched Instagram app. I won't navigate the Internet without an ad blocker. I'm mostly done with social media sites with algorithms. I don't watch 'normal' telly, I do pay for streaming services but I'm also a firm believer that TV/movie piracy isn't theft; somewhere down the line it'll be shown on a streaming platform or free with annoying ads anyway. If I like it, I'll support it, and I'll buy it.
In his autobiography, Damon Hill described newspapers as 'the confusing froff of life'.
Unless an article shared here or the fedi, my curated feed reader, I no longer visit BBC news, or Guardian, or others. I don't buy or read papers laying around the office.
My mental health is better for it.
It's not a case of 'ignorance is bliss', it's a case of knowing myself, my moral compass; which issues warrant energy and emotional investment, joy and anger, without the other white noise.
