"Lush" is a slang term, which I associate particularly with the west of England and with South Wales (where first I heard it), meaning "neat," "ace," "cool," or "gnarly" or whatever you cool kids with your Sony Walkmen say nowadays.
It seems the word lush has become more common over here but lately all usages are in the sense of lush greenery, where in the 1950's, maybe 1 in 10 uses referred to a drunk.
Here, lush is used as slang in reference to alcohol(ics). Otherwise, it's used as Essence said such as lush greenery or lush countryside. Or even lush bedding. Lush is equated with a luxurious feeling or someone who drinks a lot.

I use a feature on firefox that fences off facebook so it can't track where I go - and I use another for FB to block ads - its not great because it keeps having to fix around FB, but it helps me see what my -friends- are saying.Apple introduced recently in iOS new privacy settings: you've got to opt-in for the ad tracking technics, which companies like Facebook are using. Facebook estimates that the introduction of these settings are equal to a 10 billon dollar revenue drop, because most users are to be expected to say NO.
Surprise, surprise...
Facebook says Apple iOS privacy change will result in $10 billion revenue hit this year
Apple's privacy feature disrupts the behind-the-scenes mechanics of many mobile ads, especially those that confirm whether a purchase or download was made.
This explains why FB dropped the warnings on my account on Wed. At least, that's when I noticed the warnings dropped. I stopped using FB regularly a year and a half ago, after FB blocked me for 2 weeks, on the night of Biden's election, for a thing I posted months before election night. My warnings window was full of all kinds of crazy shit. The things I was explicitly warned for were all hate speech: "Girls are gross", "Americans are dumb", "Swedes are weird", and a picture depicting the my pillow guy as a nazi. These things are literally exactly as bad as advocating for genocide on facebook. At least one of these things went through third party arbitration, and the arbitrators ruled in my favor, so facebook unbanned me early, but left the warnings on my account, which wasn't good enough for me. Then, on top of that, they had a bunch of stuff that didn't make any sense at all. They basically said I did a bad thing years ago, but they will overlook it because everybody makes mistakes. They never specified the bad thing they think I did. It's like the AI invented the concept of original sin, and only applied it to me, just to fuck with me.
That problem should go away if this article is to be believed.

It's the same Nick Clegg? I never realised -- I always thought it was just a co-incidence of names!
