Wow! I think 2005 for me. I bought a branded dinner tray from the merchandise stall.

It’s one of the best songs ever and I strongly recommend it to you! Tom wouldn’t understand because it doesn’t have any rap-metal in it.

Dismayed to come to a different platform and find this guy is still tweeting about me all the time. I even pre-emptively blocked him!

This plus the added push factor of Elon Musk; and the election marking a clear point after which a lot of people thought “enough is enough”. That’s my guess- though it might also be just pure luck.

So you think it’s good, but you’d rather just be nasty about it online anyway? Whatever makes you feel good about yourself I guess!

That’s not true at all! I hate scientists saying political things I agree with, too*. Obviously there are loads of edge cases but there are some things that are unambiguously political.
*e.g. I wanted Harris to win the US Election but hated that Nature endorsed her.

I guess that’s okay, given he just spouts meaningless garbage these days.
