@bettywoolerton First bit you pass is the bricked up steps down to the old ferry crossing. Anyone know someone very enterprising with a boat? (Seriously, though, I feel for both pedestrians and Wapping Wharf traders. What a pain.)

ememess The basic issue with a Musk takeover is this odd idea of Twitter as “town square”. It’s not. It’s a pub. And in a pub, if you’re an destructive asshole, people get to tell you to fuck off and find another pub. He’s trying to buy the pub so people like him can’t get kicked out.

jelenawoehr You can tell there aren’t enough women fantasy authors because there’s an epic series where the fate of the world turns on getting rid of a ring, but not one where the world will end unless the protagonist can untangle this fucking necklace.

@Dru_Marland @iamtheshunt1 I also remember chocolate cigars wrapped in waxy but allegedly edible brown paper, I think. I remember not liking them much but eating them anyway.

maybeavalon The buses in every provincial British town have a stupid unguessable name for a local day ticket and if you just ask for a return to wherever you’re going the driver looks at you like you’re confessing to murder

@westrowhendo @maybeavalon Or, indeed, any maps on the website, often. Trying to plan a bus journey in Cornwall last night and you’ve just got to *know* that Blankelfurdoom Ploop is between Dobney Crack and Slome. Only an *idiot* would be looking at the timetable in the Yormal Gibber direction.

nailheadparty maybe Netflix is losing money because it was sold to us as a replacement for Blockbuster, but really it’s the equivalent of going to Blockbuster and they don’t actually have any movies to rent, but you can watch the Blockbuster staff acting in a play they’ve written if you like

@Hartley4Hotwell Hi Alex. Are you aware of this new fly-tipping magnet created at the corner of Hotwell Road? Any idea whether the land is council-owned or belongs to the developer who put the fence up? Thanks. pic.twitter.com/h8oo45qGds

Note to self: When packing, bear in mind you’re going to Cornwall, not Timbuktu. And even if you were going to Timbuktu, unsurprisingly, they have clothes shops and chemists in Mali, too.

macOS Big Sur keeps on whining at me to upgrade to Moterey. On a 27” iMac that’s so old it can’t be upgraded to Monterey. At a time when Apple aren’t selling a replacement 27” iMac. Sigh.
