The thing about swastikas spray painted on the side of a cybertruck is there’s a 50/50 chance the owner did it.

This is very tired. How many times will billionaires pretend they care about ending world hunger. No need to figure anything out it's been figured out. Yes his drug programme is great but this is pretending we are all stupid and forgetful. We are not. www.weforum.org/stories/2021...

I guess regular people now understand how LGBTQ people feel when corporations market to us but also fund anti-LGBTQ politicians. Diversity Equity and Inclusion was a marketing ploy for some organisations. Those organisations don't deserve your patronage ever again.

Wow that last 2 minutes of Paradise episode 1 took a turn. Immediately need to binge watch the entire series. www.imdb.com/title/tt2744...

If I see one more hot take that the minerals deal as part of the Ukraine 'negotiations' is smart I'm going to have to make a sign. It is not a fair negotiation if you are extorting a nation which is being invaded by threatening to cut off access to communications. www.reuters.com/business/us-...

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

In honour of #EastEnders 40th anniversary, here’s its first gay kiss, which sparked tabloid outrage at the time. Brace yourself, it’s a bit racy!

drugs have taken too many beloved celebrities from us over the years but drugs also have a rare chance right now to radically rehabilitate their image

Dear @plex.tv I do not want to see this kind of hateful content on my TV - how do I turn it off?

Ugh @plex.tv has implemented user reviews and no way to flag them so now browsing through shows I get anti-LGBTQ comments which when posted to the plex forum is auto moderated. Double standards it seems from plex that they allow hateful content to show on my plex server but not on their own forum.

I keep seeing posts from the circuit party gays(tm) about darklands plans, seemingly unaware of the train strike in Belgium that is impacting international trains. #awkward

There are basically 5 ways to accumulate a billion dollars: 1) Profiting from a monopoly 2) Insider-trading 3) Political payoffs 4) Fraud 5) Inheritance Don’t believe the self-made myth.

It could get up to 18 degrees in parts of NL today. But if you want to escape the torrid heat or remind yourself what winters were like before global warming, @nieuws.nos.nl is livestreaming the 1985 Elfstedentocht, the legendary skating marathon through Friesland. nos.nl/livestream/2...

Dr No. Thanks. #AmazonBond

Flashbacks to the party at the weekend.

@euronews.com why is 25% of your screen promoting twitter?

Twitter is now an American right wing disinformation machine interfering in global politics. Your participation in it, is collaboration and nothing less.

You know how upset they will be if everyone starts pronouncing it Dodgy. Words have power people, and by referring to Musk's dodgy team and Trump's dodgy department you can do two things; Let everyone link it to being dodgy and also remove the perceived cool of the meme Musk is desperate for.

Dear Americans saying you don't want Kings or Oligarchs. You already have them you just call them billionaires and pretend they are not.

If you see ICE, you are obligated to make some small (or large) difficulty for them — take extra long to make a turn in front of them, walk slowly in the cross walk, heckle them, throw a cream pie.. use your imagination

Since putting up this crowdfunding page, the Daily Mail has sent us, through their lawyers (RPC), two defamation threats. A few points about them. 🧵 goodlawproject.org/crowdfunder/...

It was my birthday recently. Rather than bring a store bought cake i baked some cookies and some cinnamon rolls. They are lekker even if I do say so myself.

Given the amount of people Trump and Musk are firing at agencies that keep things in the air and agencies that keep things secure coupled with maybe removing security features for Airforce One and getting Musk involved it will be a miracle it stays in the air. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/u...

Lol I was wondering why my handle was invalid. Auto-renew on my domain was deactivated for some reason. Lol. That was a good visual reminder. 🤦‍♂️

Sorry American friends but i feel like the rest of the world needs to boycott American everything since the only thing Trump and Musk care about is money.
