@KimFord52248887 @MeeshyJay Speaking of mess there was also the nonsense with the dog 💩 graphically displayed for several eps to wind up Adam, which has been forgotten. Just pointless. Corrie seems all about leaving loose ends everywhere in too many storylines.

Is Carl Webster still in Wetherfield or did he go back to Germany? I forget when he last appeared. So many characters now I lose track...#Corrie

It's a strange sort of day here at the tower. We don't know why, it just feels different. So, we're glad we have a familiar poet to read today. A comfort poet, if you will.

Ordering a Pizza for Delivery

1995
– You call
– You order in 2 minutes
– It arrives in 30 minutes

2005
– You go to the website
– You customize it
– It arrives in 45 minutes

2026
– You download the app
– You create an account with email verification
– You add your address with a PIN on the map
– The map can't find your street – You add it manually
– You select a pizza
– The ingredient you want has an extra charge
– You add a card
– Payment error
– You pay with another method – "Your order will arrive in 85 to 140 minutes"

I see the nation has once again mistaken pale sunshine for permission to wear shorts in public.

[Colleen Coble @colleencoble]

I don't get upset about much, but there's an issue going on in the publishing world that's very distressing. I keep seeing people tell writers not to use em dashes or ellipses because people will think their book was written by AI.

Here's the truth--54 of my books were stolen to train AI. Stolen books happened to most authors I know. We used those em dashes and ellipses FIRST. They are OUR tools and don't belong to AI. Authors, use all the tools at your disposal and fight back!

I use Grok to research medical stuff, especially about my husband's cancer. I ask it things (anything you search on a search engine uses AI) but it never writes anything for me. Every em dash and ellipse in my books are put there by me and they will stay there.

There's a frenzy of AI accusations out there, but as readers, please don't join in on the witch hunt. Most of us are just using the writing tools they've always used.

@bbettiekaren Hadn't considered Tyrone in the mix, that would be interesting. 🤔 he never got justice from Carl. I'd like to know what happened between Maggie following Megan into her flat & ominously closing the door and Maggie collapsed on the street...episodes feel too disjointed now.

[Jane Ayres @workingwords50]

@DuncanLindsay Almost too much happening to keep up with 😄 Wondering what happened to stalker Mal? Why did he stalk Bernie and catfish Roy? Was he arrested for setting fire to Roys Rolls? Have I somehow missed it? He has just disappeared which makes his storyline a bit pointless. 🤔

Digitalisation is “for your convenience.” - try explaining that to the 3 million people who are not online in the UK. The majority (67%) are aged 70 or over. The digitalisation of everything is creating digital exclusion for millions of people - in particular, our elderly.

Chuffed to have a #poem included 🙂❤ thank you @AcropolisJourn

@Math_files I just multiply 13 x 5.
=65 which is 6500.
Just like 20% of 80 =
2x8=16
20% of 80 is 16
And 80% of 20 is also 16.

[Math Files @Math_files]

There’s a small math trick that can make your life much easier, especially when dealing with percentages.

If you want to find a percentage of a number, you can switch the numbers—and the answer will stay exactly the same.

For example, 13% of 50 is the same as 50% of 13.

This simple idea can save you time in everyday situations.

Imagine you’re in a shop. You pick something you like, and the shopkeeper says the price is 50,000 with a 13% discount. At first, that might sound tricky to calculate in your head.

But instead of finding 13% of 50, just flip it.

Think of it as 50% of 13.

Now it becomes easy. 50% simply means half, and half of 13 is 6.5. So your discount is 6,500.

No calculator. No confusion. Just a quick mental trick that works every time.

People say there’s no magic in books but the fact that you can string words together to create a series of visions in someone else’s brain is still our greatest achievement as a species.

[Introvert Problems @IntrovertProbss]

The reason I like staying up late so much is because between the hours of 1am-5am, the world is quiet and no one expects anything from me. I could stare at my wall for 4 hours and there would be no consequences. It’s so silent and calm. I love it.

When the internet tells you a shop/business is open but “bank holiday may affect these opening hours” - the internet is basically saying “dunno, mate, but have fun finding out!”

[Jane Ayres @workingwords50]

@HeyItsCallisto Totally confused by this scene. Felt like I was watching a different show entirely. Why was she seeing a therapist? Was it a therapist? The character of Megan seems to turn tears on and off so never know what's real or fake. Was she ever pregnant? Was it Will's or Daniel's? 🤔

Easter means spending Friday thinking it’s Saturday, Saturday thinking it’s either Friday or Sunday, Sunday thinking it’s Saturday, and Monday thinking it’s Sunday.
