Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 6th November 2022.

6th November, 2022.

Right … 

It’s very easy to forget flats.

Really!

I’ve got at least two blocks of flats over the road from mine.

Which I keep ignoring, as they’re part of the landscape.

But — and I forget this, every year — it means I don’t get much of a free light show, when it’s fireworks night!

The flats are usually in the way!

I’m on Twitter: in case you didn’t know.

The site’s having some of a shake up, over the past few days: as a result of being bought by Elon Musk.

The site’s seen swinging job cuts: which is sad to hear about, and angered many.

Musk has ALSO announced that — under his leadership — Twitter will starting to charge for the blue ‘Verified’ tick.

Personally?   I’ve always thought it would be handy to have: but the process has always been too fiddly to go through.

That’s changed: as the company will now be charging for a blue tick.

Personally?

I think that’s going to cause a lot of complaints.

People have been getting The service for free, up until now …

Just as a final thought … ?

And if you’re following them?

I’ve released my most recent Star Trek review: feel free to have a watch …

Frank Carson, 6 November 1926 – 22 February 2012.
