Vince Cable giving a talk to students

Managed to see Vince Cable last week - giving a lecture to York students on his views on politics since retiring as Lib Dem leader. Very fun!

The President of the United States will come into office with his own social media platform.

That, combined with X, means Trump will have turnkey state-run media.

I don’t think the media has fully grasped that yet.

The more this place reminds me of why I liked social media so much the more I realise that I stopped doing so a long time ago. It’s extraordinary what happened. The volume & violence of posts from accounts you had never shown the slightest interest in just exploded. It *must* have been deliberate.

I mentioned my green Penguins earlier; here’s the collection as pictured a couple of years ago.

In other news, my uni has built a statue of a duck, who is now in prison. I do love where I live.

Have finally completed my migration and it feels, wonderful. Time to go back to posting about stuff without the toxicity.
