Like many others I have spread my wings and presence to other social pastures¹, though I keep my Twitter account active just to watch the bridges burn. I've brought popcorn and marshmallows.

¹ @inshadowz is also weaving threads under blue skies. Other social links on my website.

I wanted to run the London Marathon but training takes too long and is too hard as a pudgy 47yo woman, so I got an Uber to the finish line. It's not fair that athletic people get to gatekeep long-distance running. I'm still a Marathon runner!

This is what AI 'writers' sound like

@IterIntellectus If that was what the painter wanted us to see then he would have painted it like that, you witless dimling.

@WhiteHouse Darth Cheeto has revealed himself!

The Force is horribly wrong with this one.

Our little girl Lilo is watching her first Ghibli movie (“The Boy and the Heron”), propped up on my leg for safety. This is from the part when it got *really* weird. “Seriously, Daddy?”

Oh you sweet summer child, just wait until we get to “Howl's Moving Castle” 😉

@DJSnM @HumanProbably2 Premium subscriber to avoid those blasted intro ads, but it'll take more than an in-video ad read to drive me away. Your content is worth it. Keep up the good work.

o7 Fly safe, commander!

@juliet_turner6 @OxfordBiology @NewCollegeOx Congratulations, Dr. Turner! 😊

And oh my, the misogyny in the comments. Some people…🤦‍♂️

@YorkshireTea Oh, I scroll way, WAY out to the right, lots and lots of alphabets out, to find column YT… for Yorkshire Tea, of course!

Do I get a cookie? 😉

Steady buildup of space weather activity through the night, and I'm confident that my Thursday feeds will soon be full of beautiful and spectacular images of auroras. Sadly mine won't be among them; firstly because it's cloudy, second because it's daytime here.

Hi, I'm looking to buy a dumb appliance. Yes, a refrigerator with zero computers in it. Can I pay extra for there not to be an app

[Bjørnar Haveland (he/who?) @inshadowz]

Rather will I read a book that is born through the sweat and toil and torment and love and dreams and intellect and perseverance of a human mind, than one chugged out by a soulless automaton.

As earworms go, this one is far from the worst to wake up to, even if it's just the chorus on repeat. So here's the whole thing (whilst the CD is playing on the HiFi).

“Walkabout”, Nik Kershaw, “The Works” (1989)

@elonmusk Grok proofread this post!

If I tell an American that I'm about to walk out into 29°, he'll caution me to dress up for the cold. Well, we do °C over here. I'll be dressing down as much as is legally advisable.

Those moments when you're standing in line at the supermarket, impatiently waiting to check out your groceries, and then your thoughts drift to people in Gaza getting shot dead by Israelis whilst waiting in line for food.

[Bjørnar Haveland (he/who?) @inshadowz]

@OldSchoolGamerP @kiran_1004 I think you are right.

[Bjørnar Haveland (he/who?) @inshadowz]

@diannahaze Personally I love the fact that three years later you're still with us, because that didn't always seem to be a given 😊 HAPPY BIRTHDAY ❤️🎂

[Bjørnar Haveland (he/who?) @inshadowz]

@Tazerface16 @EricIdle That's the thing with autonomous cars. You never know when one of the wheels will simply get fed up and try to leave.

[Bjørnar Haveland (he/who?) @inshadowz]

Si meg, @vygruppen, når har dere tenkt å utstyre togene deres på Vestfoldbanen med vogner? Passasjerene blir flere og flere, mens vognene blir færre og færre.

I TURNED AN ANTIVAXXER TODAY!

It's such little victories that make my day 😊

*faces group*

“Hi, my name is Bjørnar.”

“Hello Bjørnar!”

“And I also like the Sequels.”

Outside: A screaming mob of furious Star Wars purists, foaming at the mouth, armed with torches and pitchforks, brandishing burning effigies of Mickey Mouse, try to break down the doors.
