Hey @Behringer - decided to try out your #Vintagesynth plugin on Mac/GB because it looks grrreat, and I like your rebel swagger 😁 One problem: The standalone works great and accepts the code, BUT the AU plugin insists it has no code and won’t give audio. Any suggestions?

I’ve spent 2 days trying to find out why my @bt_uk broadband/tv installation didn’t happen. The phone-lines go dead after ‘Welcome to BT…’ The chat boards can’t help. How do I speak to a human who can? Shocking service from a supposed giant of comms. Where’s the @BTCare ?

Reading #JackReacher in Die Trying 🖤 “The Last Reacher On Earth…” Now that would be an awesome title @LeeChildReacher Plot twist: “…as far as I know.”
The problem with #batman This century stripped the excitement out of him with every movie - he’s a grim cypher for our societal fears now. ‘Fun’. 90s Clooney and Kilmer movies suffered with a coke-fueled era - lame and hyped up. #TimBurton’s #batmanmovie pair did it for me.
Ahhh… @Apple had gone dark! Countdown to (hopefully) #iPhone news, #MacStudio, and more. #AppleEvent #iPhoneSE3

So, slightly-too-dear iPhones (prob worth it tho) and WT£ Mac Studio (ah well, iMac it is then 😁). #AppleEvent #iPhoneSE3 #MacStudio

5 managers later and people are questioning the current manager 😂 only Everton mate
I say this with no pleasure, honestly: Everton kicked out a Champions League winning manager to appease supporters who though they could do better. And the consequences have been predictable. Look, the problem is ownership. Rafa could have told you that - he’s seen it before.
They say that capitalism’s strength is that it will self-correct in line with market forces - including public outrage. Let’s see how that goes with @CocaCola @CocaColaCo @CocaCola_GB #UkraineUnderAttack I love the taste but this brand choice? Ouch. #CocaColaBanRussia now.

Now that’s a government. Only the most clouded could imagine Western spin politicians reacting like this. #newheroes
"All of us are here protecting our independence of our country." Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy shows his people he remains in the country's capital, Kyiv, as Russian forces approach the city.
Had anyone EVER phoned any large company’s customer line and not been told ‘we’re busy at the moment, there may be a wait’? That’s a fence, designed to put you off. It saves £ and avoids proper staffing too. Today: @virginmedia I gave up after 30 mins on Friday. Let’s see.

My child! Has anyone seen my child?!
Used to be that, when a band did a nationwide tour, they played every major town, celebrating with their fan base - 20+ dates over a month. Now they do five or six arenas in front of whoever got on a website quickest, finish in a week and count the cash. I hate arenas.
Is it possible to type ‘NFT’ in somewhere so I never get another tweet about it?
Hard to believe that it’s only 15 years since the launch of the iPhone ushered in the uber-social tech era. Watching early 2000s dramas that are smartphone free is a weird ‘other world’ experience. #Apple #iphone #technology

Forget politics - how can we even approach reviewing/appraising this #design gem? I mean… ‘left’ is represented literally (but incorrectly), colours are mis-assigned, the title has been assaulted by penetration. Can I assume this is subversive anti-establishment art? No?
