Choplogik we write “Millenials Are Killing The [X] Industry” because when you write “Unsustainable Profit-Driven Systems Are Crumbling Around A Wage-Suppressed Global Populace Serving Roughly 2000 Aging Billionaires” people get too depressed to click through & watch our hair cream ads

@tiny_teapot I also just did season 1 in a night :) I’m almost happier about that right now, because there’s nothing worse than a brilliant series that carries on too long and ends on an overextended sour note.

@mjrobbins @paul_clarke That was my first thought, but it’s been a bloody long time since I lived anywhere near That London.

@anildash I find Instagram far better for my mental health. But I suppose with both of them it’s entirely down to who you follow.

Binging Fleabag season one. Last time I played catch-up like this it was Breaking Bad, so I should probably be glad it’s a British-length series…

@libby_ayres @danbarker That’s been replaced by IKEA on a quiet afternoon now. The dreams are cheaper because you have to put them together yourself.

@danbarker Yes; these very socks. I liked the loud colours. Also a rather more subdued bathrobe. Both online, though. I used to go in person more, when the surrounding ships had more to offer, too, but Broadmead in Bristol is now a wretched hive of scum and villainy. pic.twitter.com/Fz6T7Nqxyf

daniel_barker I think it’s important to remember that most of the time a woodpecker’s tongue is wrapped round its skull, waiting. pic.twitter.com/FSln4lvAhu

@palimpsest22 @chris71williams @IanMartin Ah; I’d been assuming Super Gran. I mean, that amazing reveal where it turned out she’d been Scunner Campbell all along…

@Bristolvor 59%, or, as it sometimes means, “There’s actually rather more time than you’re expecting until the next progress bar, which I have not yet mentioned, appears.”

TheMushyPea In other news - my two year old son has lost this pinky-peach bunny on a @FirstBSA in Bristol this morning (X1 around 10 from Hotwells). If you find it our number is stitched in his tail, and we can collect. He misses it already!

MustardSally1 I waved to a man because I thought he waved at me.
Apparently he waved to an other woman. So to get out of the awkward situation I kept my hand up and a taxi pulled over and drove me to the airport. I am now in Poland starting a new life.

@danhancox @MikeSegalov That’s so good it should be a Half Man Half Biscuit lyric.

And lo! Here I am reading a page of a book that I know nobody else has laid eyes on since it was printed, in 1920. Secondhand book shopping is cool. 5/5 pic.twitter.com/WlzZKvecrU

My late grandad Len’s silver Coronation letter-opener seems the most appropriate tool. 4/5 pic.twitter.com/z4WC0yhsgL

From the contents page, the poem Astrophel most piqued my interest. Turning to it, though, what do I find? Yup. I guess it interested me more than the original owner, or anyone since. 3/5 pic.twitter.com/iivt1s4uNn

It’s a random volume of poetry by Algernon Swinburne. I knew his name from doing crosswords, and that he was associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, who I’ve been curious about since reading one of @Peculiar’s Bryant and May novels. 2/5 pic.twitter.com/ClAdGNN7c7

I recently went to @Bookbarn_BBI for a browse. Okay, obviously, one does not simply *browse* in a bookshop. I picked this book up on a whim, for £1. The edges are like that because books were sometimes sold with un-cut pages, and the reader would cut them open themselves. 1/5 pic.twitter.com/UKNvTkYrGY

@simongerman600 Also, if you did it, you’d have to get a 3D scan of your head first and do a proper projection, right?

@UrsulaWJ I’ve been staring vacantly at the internet, but apart from that, we appear to be twins today.

@delseccoj @hemeon Yup. Was reminded of that yesterday and remembered wistfully how I used to see a medium URL and be happy that the reading experience would be pleasant.
