Magnificent thread of replies! It's like the old Twitter.
Not sure how it happened but a bus crashed into a building near Tottenham Court Road Station. Police, Fire Brigade and ambulance in attendance.

Being alive during this modern era is great. Robots are creating artistic soulless versions of people, I spend half my paycheck on rent and the other half on 4 blueberries, and I’m addicted to a little pocket computer than makes me sad everyday. Fantastic.

Back in the day, the Title dropdown box on the Dept of Health publications order site was amazing. Bishop, Rear Admiral, Princess and His Holiness the Pope. Why the Pope would need to order NHS stop smoking posters is anyone’s guess.

We are less than a year away from being entirely unable to know if any video is real or fake.

The hidden burden of undiagnosed ADHD is constantly needing to invent excuses in an attempt to explain or justify behavior that you don’t even understand yourself.

if you're grappling with a problem, and you seem to get stuck when you're trying to deal with it on your own, and you only make progress when you have the right people around, instead of beating yourself up about this,, have you considered,,, you may be a mammal

Life with ADHD is never cancelling the free trial, hyper-fixating on something very niche (which will be incredibly dull by tomorrow), a constant worry of having forgotten something, constant panic that you are too much and can’t stop talking, and then collapsing from overwhelm.

I was set upon by a group of immigrants in Dublin yesterday. They gave me a triple heart bypass and saved my life 🫀😊

Every year £150bn tax is avoided, with up to £40bn of that being illegally evaded. Despite this last year HMRC prosecuted only 11 people with incomes of £200,000 or more. We must force disabled people into work, even if it kills them But we won't make the rich pay their taxes

The 2019 Conservative manifesto sets “supporting excellent business practice” against “protecting workers, consumers & the environment”, saying there has to be a “balance” between them. A bizarre, troubling juxtaposition. /16.
