Yo, hey everyone, how's it going? So I am currently sitting in the car. I'm not driving. I'm in the

passenger seat and I'm on the M6 in slow traffic. I've just been scrolling through Twitter and yeah,

I had a few thoughts that I thought I wanted to share in this week's voice note. So I know that

social media, of course, has its pros and cons. And often, you know, I follow a lot of
