@LucyGoBag @monzo Never knew what it was about because they couldn’t tell me.

@LucyGoBag @monzo Happened to me. Cards kept arriving for a random woman, kept cutting them up. Was worried someone was doing it maliciously, Monzo said they’d look into it and after about 4 cards they finally stopped.

Hey @monzo interesting situation where someone has registered all their monzo bank statements and cards to our address (they don’t live here). You say we can’t do anything because you can’t discuss it with us. It’s a pickle 🥒

You’d think Book Twitter would be a calming supportive place for such a relaxing enjoyable pastime. What you’ll actually find is people mainly gate-keeping and making it a competition. “I’m better than you because… xyz…”

@pschofie79 To be real reader you need to … read x amount of pages a day, x books a year, only read physical books, only read a certain genre and if you buy your favourite book in a pretty hardback thats just performative. Why has a reading become a competition?

I love how everyone is yelling at each other about how many pages a week a person should be reading without specifying anything about what they’re reading. It’s like having a debate about how many food items a person should eat in a week.

@Alexonoverdrive @pschofie79

THE IDEA that you could assign an arbitrary measurement to such an intangible pursuit. 1 page of something that brings you peace, delight, and inspiration is worth all the pages that do not. This level of optimization is useless. Do these people not understand they're going to die someday?

I wonder if the person who coined the phrase ‘jumping on the bandwagon’ got really annoyed when everyone else started using it.

Same for Outlook

@liaxwinchester Nice Guys

project hail mary i believe is the first ryan gosling movie i've seen... which movie of his should I watch next?

@Timoldland New Radicals - You Get What You Give

What songs can you simply NOT listen to? They instantly make you skip the track or change station? For me there are only two. Celine Dion - My Heart Will Go On Dexy’s Midnight Runners - Come on Eileen The 2nd particularly is so terrible and ingrained into my brain from attending a glut of 80s and 90s family weddings that I simply cannot allow it in my ears.

@fandompulse I think ‘giant insectoid alien coming to eat humans or vaporise us into puffs of ash’ has been done to death and it’s refreshing to have two scientists/engineers from different worlds excited to meet each other.

Project Hail Mary writer Andy Weir believes the secret to his stories resonating is that they are uplifting and positive. "Honestly, I think sci-fi has been taken over by bleak dystopian misery and dark political allegory nowadays. I write stories of hope where human nature is positive and uplifting. At least, that’s what I’m shooting for. And frankly, there just aren’t many authors doing that right now, so I ended up accidentally cornering a market." Do you agree?

Another beautiful morning walk in Salisbury, UK

@comedy9526 That’s funny because that black dog just came out of nowhere and asked me to follow him 🙂

@ceelou__ One on the right needs epic quest music

2 mile walk today and it was glorious

@anon_opin Ryan Gosling, I know that’s you 😂 youtube.com/shorts/ktw0KGi…

We should domesticate Foxes. They'd make great pets, like a cross between a Dog and Cat. Maybe then rich bastards in red jackets would stop killing them.

@RaminNasibov Grave of the Fireflies. If you love or have a dog, The Art of Racing in the Rain

Can someone recommend a movie that will emotionally destroy me?

I hate this attitude more and more at the moment. Wanting something for practically nothing is what is contributing to this throw away society where nothing is valued.

Maybe a year’s worth of the author’s work and time poured into 400 pages, the illustrator, publisher, editor etc. They’re not expensive enough!

@Dorthi226 😂 You could change this to pug owner and labrador owner and it’d be identical

Mum of girls vs Mum of boys

@PaulMarcoe Spontaneous Human Combustion - I was convinced this was a thing, not people just bring careless with cigarettes in old flammable houses.

4 things I think most GenX was afraid of. Acid Rain Quick sand Bermuda Triangle Amnesia What else?
