@melissabeartrix @geordie My GP is paid by national insurance, so is free at the point of need, regardless of my ability to pay. Someone smart noticed that well paid people don’t usually need a doctor because they’re well and working. So they came up with this rather sensible idea that we all pay national insurance through when we work for when we need it so we don’t have to pay when we’re sick and unable to pay. #genius
I once saw a quote from a woman in a video where she said if a man sends you unsolicited dick pics the way to get revenge on him is to turn his dick pics into NFTs and I still can't get over how #genius that idea is.
I used to be an absolutely massive fan of #hiphop in the early days. I like a good rapper as much as the next guy, but when #turntablism was actually an #artform and a spectacle at the same time. That was #genius and that was #cashmoney

Nice to see an uptick in visitors to my poor neglected (by me) blog.
That it's due to #Hozier is a surprise.

Wife threatened to buy a new printer (because she's having problems to a networked Brother from her desktop only) so I started fixing.
Fixed so hard that I somehow broke the sound output....on **MY** desktop.
I put the lyrics for a few songs from an old lost #CD of mine that I rediscovered onto #Genius, and one of them is about a kind of person that sounds eerily similar to people we see everyday or in the media.
"I get all that I need
From a book that I read
'Cause it tells me what I should not do"
"I won't believe stacks
Of scientific #facts
There's no monkey blood in these veins, dear"
"Oh, must you go?
It's just the street outside does tend to scare me so"
