I double-checked this on a couple of Xitter stat sites and it's true. Average views of the main AfD account dropped 90% and average engagement dropped by 60%. This is commercial social media for you: bots, damn bots and Russian bots.

You can’t really understand yourself from your own choices. I suspect most of us don’t even know what those choices would be. We measure ourselves by our varied reactions to fixed culture. And we can discuss that between ourselves, to understand one another. Anything else is thick as mince.

It's rough as fuck. And starting off with Jonathan King material was the sort of thing you *don't* do when you know what you doing.

OMG! Found my first ever gig at XS Malarkey! IIRC, it was gig 3 or 4 ever. I did the open mic at the Frog, and then @tobyhadoke.bsky.social was at the bar while I was getting a pint and congratulated me. And then offered me a gig.

It's weird watching this. You want the game to be important, but you know that it isn't, and this current City side is also built by cheating. #LIVMCI

Not for the first time, I’d ask: what does it mean, if the press keep running campaigns claiming that country’s most horrific racists and bigots are the Green Party, the Labour left, Amnesty International, Stonewall, the police (I know) and Gary Lineker? Look around you. Does that feel right?
CAMILLA LONG
Jew-baiting Greens haven't peaked: they're just getting startedIt's strange having a fully fledged, fully funded racist party in our political line-up. It does not comfort me that in Holborn & St Pancras the Greens "only" got nearly 9,000 votes. If the British National Party, another party defined by a racist lie, had won that many votes in any constituency, there would be pandemonium. There would be riots. There wouldn't be amused, jocular analyses in all the main papers. Its leader wouldn't be ushered on to the Today programme as a senior statesman for a light dressing-down by Nick Robinson.
He wouldn't be allowed to repeat propaganda as Polanski did (he sounded as if he was reading lines from a piece of paper). He wouldn't be greeted with a comical, indulgent shrug.
And if I were a Jew in Holborn, or anywhere, watching this, what would I now be thinking? I would be thinking: I now know precisely how many of my fellow constituents want to kill me. Is anyone doing anything to protect me from them?
Just look at the recent hate crime statistics. Jews are now almost ten times more likely than Muslims to be the targets of a religious hate crime. So no one is stopping it. No one is even touching it. This is an unacceptable place for politics to have reached.

Bethany wore a “Protect The Dolls” t-shirt during rehearsals. The BBC posted it on their socials then quietly deleted and reposted it without showing her from the front. On TV last night they actually blurred the message #Strictly

Had to laugh a dark laugh when the half time whistle blew and Phil Bird said “the boos are for Watford”. Yep,we got to the point where that needed clarification.

Just watched the extended highlights. The buildup for the second and third goals was exceptional. Passes being zipped at speed with accuracy and most importantly *sticking*. I’ve said this sides problem is that confidence was at rock bottom. That might be a sign of it coming back. #burnleyfc
