My Twitter experiment ended in early 2025. I like politeness, engagement, humour... and to follow only 50 accounts... All opinions are subject to alteration - sometimes the correct response is to swear.

Another version of this is to think how badly my life may have gone had I been on social media when I was young...
Wow - those are quite phenomenal headlines given the details of the story.
Ahh look, he’s just a ‘nerdy’ guy. No harm done.

Bible readers [and me] remember the tale of the collection plate - the widow who gave more than really she could afford, the rich man who impressed all with the huge donation he was able to give without any pain.
This is Sunday School learning - so what is it to pretend context doesn't matter?

If you’re a PA voter, pay attention to your Supreme Court elections coming up. The voters in NC did not see the threat clearly, the state high court flipped, and Dems got gerrymandered out of representation. Here’s a primer on why you should vote to RETAIN the three justices next Tuesday.

The transition of the White House into a gaudy palace shows so starkly that Trump has never seen it as a place of work...
nor that as President it doesn't belong to him.
Does his love of faux-luxury fixtures and fittings increase the chances of his final moments being under a golden shower?
Let's tickle the word "Modernity"...
We do not need to go back to bigotry
We do need changes to our electoral system
We need a greener future
We should question the role of the Royal Family
We should modernise taxation
Immigration is a positive element in a modern world
#modernity #progress
Which leads directly into this and how the Far Right has given people permission to be openly racist.

Trump likes tariffs because they're a gun to point at people's heads...
and he enjoys watching how people behave with him pointing that gun at them... then taking it away... then pointing it again...

For those keeping track, it's now three days since I asked the Conservatives for (fairly basic) details of their policy on revoking indefinite leave to remain, eg whether it would include separating families and if it would work as per Chris Philp's draft bill. Despite several reminders: nothing.

🚨Trump’s team is plotting to declare a fake "national emergency" to hijack elections.
One operative says they can “take steps without Congress” and mandate state election rules.
Independent, state-run elections are the last firewall between democracy and authoritarian rule.
These people have no clue how their own policies hurt them.
