My inbox today. It's safe to say that Artist First has the better algorithm of the two. An INXS cover band? Who, no doubt, won't even re-enact Hutchy's last gasps? And they expect me to pay to watch them? That's going to be a no.

There's a subreddit where young folk who have no idea how to read cursive handwriting can submit their nan's letter or recipe for translating by those versed in the ancient ways, and I am currently feeling very very old.
