I mean... 😆... where else I could get such fun like this (screenshot)?? 😁🤣

My personal experience/opinion - I see what I chose to see there (or not). Not paying. Ads blocked. Other places like this still have long ways to replace Twitter. Blu is my "backup plan B".

This question is more for my local, Latvian followers, I guess. Anyone has CD stands (ideally two identical) similar style as in pics below? Sveiki! Varbūt kādam ir un tikai "aizņem vietu" apmēram šāda veida kā bildēs CD statīvi? Ideāli būtu divi vienādi. Paldies!
