Giveaway!

I’m giving one lucky person the chance to pick one shelf of books from our Bertvent bookcase.

Follow and repost by midday on Saturday 27th and I’ll pick someone at random! Which shelf will you choose?

The comments on this are all about how sweet it is and I feel insane. Using AI to make fake memories of your grandma with dementia and telling her they happened and then filming her reaction

Really like Plur1bus but that felt like a filler.

🧵 Is it a super flu year? Who knows, but I think the current reporting is stupid.

A pissed off thread using data.

Firstly - here are today's headlines and some from the last 3 years... spot the difference. 1/10

I recall some younger folks at work saying they didn't watch films made before 2000 and getting annoyed.

But I would argue similar to somebody hating on all modern films. Some brilliant films are still getting made.
I just saw another "Why Modern Movies Look Bad" video, full of clips from Jurassic World and the MCU. Maybe people could try watching good films?

Always think these sorts of stats are a little misleading. Much more likely to rest Salah for easier fixtures in past seasons.

Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.

Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph

Because this does NOT add up!

No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

Fun non-spoilery Pluribus detail - this is actually the mayor of Albuquerque

I may be reading it incorrectly but #Plur1bus seems like a big middle finger to AI to me. Maybe that's why I'm enjoying it!

I'm quite enjoying Welcome To Derry but it does feel like they're just trying to jump on the Stranger Things train.

Just wilful performative cruelty that is entirely out of step with the majority of British people.

How many Labour MPs got into politics in order to vote for stealing jewellery off of people seeking refuge from war and persecution?

It blows my mind that there are real people who see a post like this and actually believe the whole “Christmas is being cancelled by Muslims” BS 🙄

Let’s have a quick look at what’s happening to Sheffield so you can put your Express reading uncle’s mind at ease!😆
