Dunno why you can't read it with your eyeballs tho!
It's not like SR users are the only people using alt text. So IDK why it's visible on images but not videos?

This is an excellent observation. But also I've noticed that a lot of super rich people appear to be dumb as fuck.

Decided to drive through this like an absolute wanker earlier. Oh boy, waaay deeper than I thought. Had to carefully reassess my approach half way through. Made it tho. (That's not my number plate) 😆

No, iPlayer, I do not want to watch The Night Manager. I'm still trying to cleanse my brain of the cringe from series 1 where he walked into a clichéd "rough Irish bar" and immediately managed to gain everyone's respect by being tough and scary to someone. Sweet Jesus I can't get it out of my head.

Very tired. So might have a drink to stay awake. Hashtag science and healthy living. (TBF I've not had a drink for weeks while I've been ill, which suggests that not drinking could be bad for you).

🧵I watched Forbidden Planet last night. Hadn't seen it for decades. A super-intelligent race is destroyed, despite its technological advances, by its own subconscious primitive fears and greed, 'the monster of the ID'. Hashtag AI, etc.
Anyway, couldn't help but notice how the film influenced others.

I've kept "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" pinned above my desk since I first started studying evolutionary biology as an undergraduate. So relatable to get extremely frustrated with your study system.

Despite the internet's best efforts I do not know (or want to know) who the Monaco guy is, or what he's done, and I shall endeavour to preserve my hard earned ignorance. Make tedious twats irrelevant again.
