So, I didn't like #CometBrowser. It's no more an "AI browser" than Edge, which I already use. I expected more. 🤷♂️
Anyway, I have 3 invites, if anyone wants one.

Less than a week on from the biggest far-right rally in UK history, and the left can't stop being petty long enough to organise.
Pathetic. Absolutely derisable.
Kinda expected this tbh, after they managed to have a row over trans rights with 3 people in the party. 🤦♂️

#GreatYarmouth locals, I'm proud of you. I'm from North Walsham, and often see #Yarmouth as this area's right-wing, black sheep relative. 😬
But this gives me some hope that the far-right's "rise" may not be all that.
Oh, and happy Pride for Saturday.

Yes, OBVIOUSLY, but can you not see that the "Five A Day" rule is simple (and low) for a reason? To encourage people to at least eat SOME fruit and veg?
Can you see how, for someone eating 0 portions, 11 might seem "not worth trying"?
Why are you like this???

Nothing makes you go from thinking "there's a chance I might be autistic" to thinking "yeah, OK, I'm definitely autistic" quite like filling in the Big Forms before your autism assessment.
And realising how fucking plainly, stereotypically autistic your life has been up till this moment. 😬
