Cool to see so many Twitter peeps making the jump, but where were you 6 months ago when I was still in the habit of using social media?

Just a reminder with the holiday season approaching: If you offer someone a drink and they say, "No thanks, I don't drink" the correct response is not, "Why not?" or "Come on, just one!" or anything else like that. The only correct response is, "No worries. Can I get you anything else?"

To mark the death of William Calley, one of the perpetrators of the My Lai massacre, better to remember instead the late Hugh Thompson Jnr. Thompson, a scout 'copter pilot, was the only one there who refused to be complicit. It cost him his career and a normal life after. But stopped the massacre.

PROOF WE ARE LIVING IN A SIMULATION!! I have been scared to post this, because people are going to make fun of me or say l'm crazy, but l've thought something for years and I want to see if it's just me..
All of the artisan and specialty breads at grocery stores are
PROOF we are actually living in a simulation.
Nobody buys this bread. Ever. I never see it in someone's cart. I never see someone checking out with a massive red pepper asiago loaf the size of a basketball. In all my years I've never walked into a friends home and been offered a baguette or a fresh slice of focaccia.
I've never even heard of a "Sourdough Boule" and respectfully I am not sure they even exist.
Nobody is baking these. Nobody is buying these. Nobody is eating these. They are just there. Every time. Just like last time. Being walked past.
The bread is a decoration. The bread is a simulation.

You had me at “exceedingly dry in-jokes for recherché subcultures”
The meme of the dad and son from American Chopper arguing. 

Text:

American Chopper memes are compelling rhetorical devices that could be taught in schools!

They are impenetrable walls of text serving only as exceedingly dry in-jokes for the recherché subcultures already familiar with their subjects!


They brilliantly employ American Chopper as a low-brow "carrier wave " to entice people to read about ideas they otherwise wouldn't!

THEY HAVE NONE OF THE BREVITY AND ENERGY OF GOOD MEMES, AND THEY SUBSTITUTE FAUX-ACADEMIC LOGORRHEA FOR WIT!

THIS IS THE ONLY MEME FORMAT THAT ACKNOWLEDGES THE EXISTENCE OF COMPETING INFORMATION, AND AS SUCH IT IS THE ONLY FORMAT SUITED TO THE COMPLEXITY OF OUR WORLD!

My letter in today’s Herald about the political establishment pandering to JK Rowling and her anti trans obsession while ignoring the majority of women and women’s issues www.heraldscotland.com/opinion/2442...
I could not care less if JK Rowling's postal vote is
'literally lying next to her'. What the political establishment needs to remember is that JK Rowling gets one vote, the same as the rest of us. As the article points out, very few women are thinking about trans people when it comes to their vote. Why then, does it seem like the whole political establishment is pandering to one very rich woman and her pet issue?
JK Rowling and the few politicians who share her views get constant media coverage. I cannot remember the last time I saw a trans person on TV being asked about their views. Furthermore, there are urgent women's rights issues being completely ignored while the political discourse centres on the gutter politics of body parts and bathrooms. Neither the Labour nor Tory manifesto mentioned abortion, which is rather shocking given the uptick in women and girls being charged with so-called 'illegal abortions'.Rape conviction rates remain so low that it is effectively decriminalised. Labour will not commit to undoing the two-child benefit cap (also known as the rape clause). People wait years for a diagnosis of endometriosis. Maternity care is in crisis. Schools are in crisis, particularly in Glasgow, where school communities face teacher staff cuts on a scale we have never seen before. Only yesterday I watched a checkout operator struggling to remove the security cap from a container... it was a container of baby formula. We are living in a country where people are having to steal to feed their children.
We have long been told that those of us who respect the dignity and humanity of trans people are indulging in 'luxury beliefs'. I would argue that anyone in a position to ignore the mess of this country and spend all their time fixating on a tiny minority group are the ones indulging in such beliefs. I, for one, would like politicians to stop using trans people as a punch-bag and finally li
