I follow these bots because my fellow data nerds in parliament do amazing work making them, but it was nice to see my MP @adamjogee.bsky.social asking about a topic I hold dear as a former music lecturer.

Ludwig is a really fun TV show and everything, but Beethoven is quite famous for having written more music than the 3rd movement of Op. 31, No. 17.

A man takes a gap year, then returns to stop his ex getting married.

I had exactly this experience too, and they were mid-way through saying "that is only for Apple..." when it beeped and said accepted. I was clearly a witch touched by the devil in their eyes.
