@juskewitch I think you might be about to get a lot of replies about Russian Doll.
@ahnlak I’m told that the proper modern ones are much better, but I know nothing about which technology to look for.

ememess I’m charmed by the SF frisson of this, but there might be some unemployed humans who’d like the job, so they could feed their families.

@robmanuel This is exacerbated by the fact we basically used to drink in different pubs and ignore each other, but Twitter is one giant pub with no bouncers and an amoral landlord.
robmanuel The internet and social media has connected me up with like-minded people and essentially my tribe is “people who think they’re a bit funny”.
Was thinking about that, and how effective it is, and realising it’s done exactly the same for “people who quite like Nazis.”

@Bristolvor The number 8? Well, don’t be too hard on them. I waited for one of those once and it took so long to arrive that my debit card had expired and none of my fivers were still legal tender when I got on the bus.
@Bristolvor To be fair, this is Bristol. The bus arriving at all *is* something of a surprise.
