This is absolutely the Worst Timeline.
The only hope I have left is that the inevitable horrorshow all of this will result in happens asap, is intense but short & I live long enough to see the pendulum recoil the other way like it did in 1945.

My one wish for the inauguration is that there is a gift bag under the seats of Bezos, Zuck, Elon etc, with a single, embroidered , padded knee pad

Need to protect themselves when they are on bended knee, kissing the ring 🤷😆

We didn't move left.
They goose stepped to the right.

This letter in the New Statesman a couple of years ago seems even truer now.

Please engage with me so that I can quit toxic social media.

Where be my peeps?

Meta to get rid of factcheckers and recommend more political content Mark Zuckerberg says company will ‘dramatically reduce censorship’ across Facebook, Instagram and Threads

So is this the place where facts are still checked & Facist ideology isn’t actively promoted? Because, and I want to be very clear about this: *Fuck Meta*.
I quit Twitter the day Musk took over. I think I’m going to have to disengage from Meta platforms too 😞

Day??? I have a birthday in 23 days & the “Xmas Eve to NYE let- everything-slide-perpetual-eat-and-drink-fest” takes up the middle 8 of those.
I’m belly cheering till mid January

The brilliant @mitchbenn.bsky.social is doing his critically acclaimed one man Christmas Carol show at the Barons Court Theatre.
I can’t think of a better place to see this show
Don’t miss your opportunity

Nonsense, what this illustrates is the media & wealthy classes desensitisation to social murder in pursuit of ever increasing dividend returns for investors.
Which, oddly enough, is pretty much the trigger to every revolution that has ever happened in history. And revolutions seldom end well either

None of the villagers said it was poor taste to celebrate that the evil, exploitative Calvera had been killed.
I wonder if Calvera’s death worried the other bandit leaders in the area to the point and they decided to be not quite so exploitative?
Wouldn’t it be great if it did?
Oh… No reason

Today I’m thinking about how, in the Magnificent Seven, Chris kills Calvera - a villain who had been mercilessly exploiting the villagers for his and his bandit gangs personal enrichment.
Calvera was responsible for some of the villagers dying due to lack of resources.

‘Ardent Brexiteer’ James Dyson describing the last budget as an ‘egregious act of self-harm’ in the Telegraph.

Massive Brexiter says what now?

My band made their debut three days ago, please give them a follow?

This is the content I’m here for.

An image of Donald Trump pouring gasoline on a burning dumpster truck fire while Elon Musk throws money at him. The words “72 million voters” are written on the can of gasoline and the words “American democracy” are written on the side of the trashcan. Money is piled up around the trashcan.

I’ve created a visual reminder of what “The Final Straw” looked like for the people that have finally relinquished their desperate fingernail grip on Twitter
#FuckElon
#FuckTrump

Just a furry dude living his best life

You’ve scrubbed up nice pal x

Finally, a reason to be here

*Waves*

I left Twitter ages ago.
I’ve been waiting for you all over on Threads but ohhh no… YOU’VE got to be all laa dee dah with your “Bluesky”.
Well I hope you’re happy now.
Well are you punk?
