This platform is close to being as unpleasant to read as Twitter was when I left many years ago. Even with A LOT of muted words. #EmphasisMine

For a moment, I thought it was you that had split the infinitive. Sorry it even crossed my mind.

Is it too much to ask that world leaders set a good example for the rest of us? Really? #ProfoundDisappointment

It’s not just Americans. This affects our whole species (and all the others)…

I still think if we reframed “right” wing as “wrong” wing, it would clear a lot of this up. It must be very confusing for the hard of thinking.

Saw a headline talking about the “top” 10 richest people. Can’t help feeling this should be the “bottom” 10. Amassing wealth is a failure on so many levels

Just completed my first essay since 1989. I’d forgotten how hard writing is - and I used to be a writer. Hashtag student teacher. Hashtag that’s not how to do hashtags.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

The app shows me I have a message but wants facial recognition to read it. I won’t be doing that. Please find another way to get in touch, as necessary…

Got three gigs with different bands in the next seven days. Floyd tomorrow evening, funk and disco on Sunday afternoon, then an original set on Friday. Obviously, I had a rehearsal with a fourth band last night 🤣👐🏻🧊

Perhaps unfairly, I blame him for many things: Brexit, Trump, the war in Ukraine – if he didn't get into bed with the tories (sic), I don't think any of that would have happened.

Watching The Piano final on Channel 4. Unbelievable. Every one of them a winner. Very glad I don’t have to choose a best of… 👏🏻👏🏻

Fair play to the pope for showing it’s possible to be a wise world leader as a male. A great start!

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/

Oh, and if you think you can convince me to vote Labour ‘to keep out Farage’ by being exactly the kind of government that Farage would lead, you need to brush up on your logic.

I find it helpful to see people as being either positively to negatively polarised. Negative people create more negativity in every possible way to add to their polarity and believe they are “winning”. The greater the negativity, the bigger the win

Interesting show with Lucy Worsley on iPlayer about how financing the US war of independence ruined the French economy which led to the 1789 revolution. (Because the US never them back)

One thing Johns*n did, that’s been exacerbated by Dr*mpf is that the plot to every spy movie and TV show has been RUINED. Governments do not, in fact, fall. There are no observable consequences…

We expect nastiness from the tories. But it's profoundly disheartening to see apparently the same from @uklabour.bsky.social. Enjoy your one term in office. Not many other people are...
