Mostly Social

Internet things that need to stop: People on twitter talking to followers like they're from a '70s Beano. Pals, chums, gang etc... fuck off

@TheCinesthetic As someone who does this kind of thing, it always amazes me the people who think this is actually a real billboard out the in the wild & not CGI overlaid on footage of a street. There's a good reason why no-one in the street is looking at the ad - because it's not there for them

Thinking about Netflix’s wild promo for Resident Evil, with a Licker seemingly breaking out into the streets of New York. The video speaks for itself.

All the people paying a fortune for Mother Root, you can get an identical-tasting drink (for about a fifth of the cost) by taking two shots of Belvoir Ginger Cordial and one shot of Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar, and diluting with water

@juanbuis Yes, this one

@mostlysocial there's a pug lamp???

always check IKEA’s kids section that’s where the real design team is cooking case in point: this giraffe lamp

@internetarchiva Ai bullshit

Nissan’s billboard makes it look like trucks are driving straight off the wall into the desert

@OldLondonW14 In all the decades I've lived in the area, I'd never noticed the swan painted on the gable of the pub before (just under the chimney on the King Street side of the building). Only spotted it the other week taking a double decker to Shepherds Bush

A much loved landmark in Hammersmith - 115 years ago.

@jcrfear @OldLondonW14 The now-demolished White City Exhibition Centre: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franco-Br…

@OldLondonW14 What are the buildings to the left of Wood Lane just before the Westway? Look very grand

Before the vast roundabout was built, there was much less of a distinction between Holland Park and Shepherds Bush. You can see all the housing that was demolished to make way for the vast new road system.

@FearedBuck Oh well

Food influencers were hit by a car while reviewing a burger inside a restaurant

@interesting_aIl Trolleys do that in Europe too

@grok Can you link me that interaction? @grok

@mostlysocial While profile visits on X are private, using public interactions as a proxy, the most famous person to engage with your profile is music producer Hudson Mohawke, who replied to you in 2019. He's known for collaborations with Kanye West and Drake.

Hey @grok who is the most famous person to visit my profile? Doesn’t need to be a mutual and don’t tag them. Just say it

@janthonylong @brendonvolpe I've got a copy of the amazing coffeetable 'Absolut Book' I bought in New York in the mid-90s. It collected together all their ads at the time

@brendonvolpe I think a lot of us had those ads pinned up in our rooms. Just like kids today are printing out those banner ads and...oh, nevermind.

How it started / how it's going.

I wonder if @waitrose know that the reason more people don’t scan their MyWaitrose card is because it’s notoriously difficult to get the app’s barcode to scan on the self-service tills (far harder than Tesco, Sainsbury’s etc). 9 times out of 10 I just give up

to deselect everything & instead select the text inside the text box. It wastes so much of my time on a daily basis [2/2]

@AdobeCare Any way in Photoshop of turning off the irritating 'select text within a text box & deselect all other layers' when using the Move tool? I hate trying to shift+select 20-odd layers & then the app decides that because the last layer selected is a text box I want [1/2]

@sapphicspielbrg Don't Dead Open Inside

brb opening a portal

@james_W12 Only ever went in there in there twice. First time a fight had clearly finished seconds earlier (& oddly there were buckets of water & apples everywhere seemingly for apple bobbing). Second time two different random strangers sidled-up to me & asked me to buy them a pint

The W12 pub formerly known as the British Queen and latterly The Pocket Watch is about to reopen as The Hawthorn - great timing. #QPR

@Butters34 @NoContextHumans Yep

@mostlysocial @NoContextHumans Slow down, then.

Why tf do they keep crashing into it 😭
