One of the corporate ad boards near us has been replaced with an LCD screen that looks like it’s just been wired in by a local shop. They’re charging £20 a week to display an ad a few times a day. Dunno what their vetting process is, but we should chip in and put some weird stuff there. Right?

A photo of a street with a big LCD screen on the side of a shop. Zoomed in of the same photo: the screen is advertising “Kurd Fade barbers”. The advert looks like it has been designed in Microsoft Word. It’s gloriously shit.

Hello new people! If you like words I write, BOY HOWDY HEY do I have good news for you, bc I write words a LOT, and many of the things I write are free for you to enjoy at point of use - or otherwise pretty cheap to buy. BEHOLD! A SELF PROMOTION THREAD! (might pin this)

While I have your attention, due to the portrait of Turing on them, I have been trying to nickname £50 notes 'an Alan' for a while now. Please help me to get this to catch on. 'They're £20 each,' you could say, 'or, special offer, I can do you three for an Alan.' Thanks in advance.

Although I'm not in the fan group, Facebook knows I'm a fan of a band, & earlier decided to show me photos taken by a fan, who's stalking musicians going in & out of a hotel. It would never occur to me to look for something like this. Small example of extreme behaviour normalised by algorithms.
