This "debate" about who should use what toilet doesn’t benefit anyone. It doesn’t fix the underfunding of women's refuges, NHS waiting lists leaving women in terrible pain, mums skipping meals to feed their kids. How about we get on with tackling the real issues affecting women?

Well, the news looks like the end of War Games when Joshua /WOPR cycles through all the possible conflicts. I hate this timeline.

It’s not the biggest thing but surely everyone realises it’s ’claimed’ not ‘revealed’ with these people.

This is, in large part, pandemic revenge. As far as these oligarchs are concerned, all science does is tell them stuff they cannot do. They can't keep spewing carbon. They can't keep businesses open as usual when millions are dying. They have concluded that research is the enemy of profit.

On 15 March 1939 Hitler and his deputy summoned the Czech President to Hitler’s residence in Berlin and then bullied him to submitting to a German invasion of his country. They drove him to the point of physical collapse, threatening him until he eventually signed his country’s death warrant.

This article only vaguely acknowledges that my copywrited work - amongst that of thousands of other writers - was stolen. It wasn’t ’given away’, they stole it, sometimes from pirated copies. Some useful words for future discussions: Theft. Illegal. Immoral. Cheats.

The biggest trap Europe and the UK could fall into is to think that they "just have to get through the next 4 years." No. They have to change. They have to take their security into their own hands, and that includes the development, manufacturing and maintenance of their weapons systems.

To the right-wing pundits crowing over Vance's speech: if you are really "less worried" about a dictator-state that's invaded its neighbour, killed tens of thousands of people, reduced cities to rubble & engaged in mass rape and child abduction, than you are about "wokery", then you are truly lost.

I've built a machine that can be Confidently Wrong. It can also make pictures that all look a bit the same, as well as make a video of you kissing any celebrity or person you know. In payment, I'd like to boil the world's oceans dry, & steal all literature. For some reason, my head is not on a spike

Outside my window, a few gardens away, is an antenna. Everyday, a crow tries to balance on the bit pointing down. It never goes on the horizontal one. I have no idea if it’s different crows or the same one, who thinks this is what is meant by ‘aerial manoeuvres’ but it fails every time 🦉 #Corvids

In January of 2021, photos started bouncing round the internet of this deeply weird thing happening in the sky above Glasgow, Scotland. Photoshop trickery? The bizarre truth: - yes, everyone really saw these - no, they're not faked or manmade - they absolutely don't exist. 1/

So about ten years ago I found a small network of bots on Reddit dedicated to spreading hate. The thing about it is that these weren't even responding to political topics - they were just responding to random keywords with insults and hate. The same bots are now here. You should understand why. 🧵
