  1. Olen käynyt Pentti Nikulan kanssa Brysselissä. Hän oli töissä Päijät-Hämeen liitossa. Samalla reissulla tapasimme Erkki Liikasen. Matkasta on 23 vuotta. Muistan siitä, että olin raskaana. #namedropping yle.fi/a/74-20191570?utm_sourc

  2. 🚌💨 In today's episode of *Name-Dropping for Dummies*, we learn that even AI's poster child, Rich Sutton, can't save us from the doom of giant acronymic models. Apparently, #scaling is the only answer, because who needs #creativity when you have a bigger hammer? 🛠️🔍

  3. Met a chap and his girlfriend last night. He was Swiss, but, had English ancestry. His surame was Firth. I jokingly said you must be related to Colin Firth (Pride & Prejudice, King's Speech) . He replied "yes, he's my cousin.". Wow!

  4. I missed this piece with Chloe Hosking who was caught up in the B&B Hotels fiasco.
    I once interviewed her at a Wiggle Honda team launch, and also judged a one-armed push up contest featuring her, Mara Abbot, Jolien D'Hoore, Elisa Longo Borghini and Audrey Cordon-Ragot. Julien won. #proCycling #womensCycling #nameDropping

  5. I once met Sharleen Spiteri (Texas) in a pub on Byers Road, Glasgow. She was absolutely lovely, and even more gorgeous in person than she appears in her music videos.

    We agree.

    Also judging by the heavy #namedropping by #culturalElites of a particular #Amazon-hosted #videoConferencing app, we are almost certain that there's a few very #greasedPalms out there.

    Even amidst the current controversy surrounding the #security flaws in the app, the positive name-dropping is shameless.

    As we've been saying lately, now is the time for #freeSoftware to shine.
