Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

The winner of ‘we’ll say the word spooky but do f all extra for this’ award goes to this distinctly underwhelming Halloween campaign ad by Tesco

It’s literally just pizza, waffle fries and a dip.

Ooh, it’s really wound me up 😆
An advert that has a regular pepperoni pizza, regular waffle fries and a garlic dip shown with four small autumn leaves and the slogan ‘Helping you make Halloween SPOOKY’. It’s utter rubbish.

Screenshot of a Wikipedia page for James Price. The text says he was an English chemist and alchemist who claimed to be able to turn mercury into silver or gold. One challenge to perform the conversion a second time in front of credible witnesses, he instead killed himself by drinking prussic acid.
