Has anyone here tried to upload a video to #youtube only to have it stop because "the process was abandoned"? I am a podcaster but have been solely on audio platforms thus far. Hoping to get some advice... #podcast #posting odcaster #podcastingproblems #podcasterproblems #youtubeproblems

One of my favourite shows is Slow Horses on @appletv with Gary Oldman. Something about watching him eat Chinese food is disgustingly fun! Yesterday though I noticed that they had parked in a disabled spot and that is NOT COOL! MI-5 get your act together! #Ableism
