On the one hand, I really don't want to be hear any more. On the other, aren't echo chambers the most dangerous thing? Also the algorithm sucks now. I just scrolled down my feed for ages and it's 90% politics, and only 1 map (which was a weather forecast).

Just made the classic 30-something-year-old migration northwards back to our uni town of Nottingham! Any of my geo/data friends in the area fancy a meetup? 🌍
