Key to this is calling it what it is and them what they are, OUT THERE. It’s all well and good naming the threat to our online circles, but more often than not we’re interacting with people who already know. It’s the people who aren’t in these circles who need to hear it.

MapQuest have got in on the action with ‘name your own gulf’. I mean, if the Orange Dictator can do it, we all can, right? Such fun! 😃 gulfof.mapquest.com

What. The actual. Fuck. From the White House official account no less. Same on Insta. Same on FB. Oh, America, what the fuck did you do? #KingTrump

With the world looking increasingly more dangerous and the US turning into a basket case, it’s time to have a long, hard look at who our ‘special relationship’ ought to be with. It’s not with those on the other side of the Atlantic, it’s with those on the other side of the Channel. #Rejoin, now.

Thought experiment for Labour… With over 4yrs and a huge majority, why not stir it up? Pitch your tent defiantly on the liberal lawn, loudly reject the epic failures of Brexit and rightwing immigration ideology and see how many liberal votes you gain instead of chasing Reform into a toxic dead end?

I have the right to bear arms! It’s in the Constitution! The Constitution is the last word! YOU CAN’T MESS WITH THE CONSTITUTION! 🇺🇸 Except that bit about citizenship by birth. You can mess with that bit. While you’re at it, have a fiddle with the bit that limits two presidential terms.

Naughty Drax receiving green, renewable energy subsidies while burning primary forest. Last I checked, burning wood kicks crap into the atmosphere regardless of where the wood comes from. Shouldn’t we be more concerned that burning wood is still a thing? #ClimateChange www.bbc.com/news/article...

Love this! ❤️ When the arts have taken such a hammering in recent years, it’s bloody fantastic to see such a brilliant community resource. Nice work, #Leeds 🙌🏻

The artist, David Cohen is an Asheville-based artist/musician and resident of over forty years. His cartoon work spans various subjects ranging from local issues based in Asheville to more national political events and even to one-off, word-play-oriented jokes. ❤️ Give credit to artists when you can.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

Axel Rudakubana was not born with an interest in extreme violence. Something, probably many somethings, made him that way. I do so often wonder in situations like this, how much responsibility we as a society share for the eventual, devastating outcome.

Trump’s inauguration? January 20th? Nah can’t do it, mate. Cleaning the back of the fridge that day. Soz.

FUCK THE TORIES. I've been struggling to breathe since lunchtime. Can't talk or do much of anything. Every breath is an effort and I am so tired. I've no history of this. Contacted 111 at 2.30pm. 10pm and STILL waiting for a callback. The #NHS used to work, before those bastards decimated it.

I find these questions fascinating: Is #AI capable of creating something new? Is it just rearranging of other existing ideas? Is it a substitute for human creativity? Curiosity got the better of me over Xmas and I challenged #ChatGPT to write a song. Here’s what I learned -🧵 1/10 #NewMusic

I just can’t get on board with all the schadenfreude about celeb homes being devastated by the #LAFires. I know some of them are proper bellends but they’re still people, and the emotional impact will still hit regardless of wealth. I can’t be gleeful about people suffering, no matter who they are.

‘The first six months have been marred by policies that have unnecessarily alienated section after section of Labour support: winter fuel allowance, the two-child benefit limit, Waspi women, tuition fees, Gaza’. Nail. Head. The longer they keep this up, the less likely a second term is. Then what?

This. I’ve gone back to X in recent days for the sole purpose of community noting Musk. It’s not much, but it’s something, because I can’t do nothing. Please consider doing similar - he shouldn’t be left unchecked.

Surely this must have just been a slip of the tongue, a mistake, methinks. But no, she did say it and she did mean it. She’s seen the wall on Italy’s land border with Turkey 🙄 Listen for yourself - 0:41:37. www.globalplayer.com/catchup/lbc/...

With Musk pimping for Reform, spreading hateful misinformation, calling for our govt to be brought down and one of its MPs to be imprisoned, all decent MPs should question whether they should be on X at all. They’re enabling a profoundly undemocratic threat to our country by being on his platform.

I really like meat, fish and cheese, and drink gallons of tea. It’s getting hard to ignore the implications though, so I impulse-joined #Veganuary 10 mins ago at www.veganuary.com Tea was a potential wobble but I just tried it with almond milk and it tastes like… tea. Any #Vegan tips welcome!🙏🏻

Israel can’t say ‘Hamas are there’ forever. At some point there will be nothing left of Gaza. Then what? Say ‘Oops, we bombed everything for no reason’, or move onto the land and no longer be able to spin what this is: a genocidal land grab. Israel is fucked either way. Stop the slaughter now, eh.

100% this. Yes, yes, I know Labour have done this and done that, but not much of anything that will make a significant improvement to most people’s lives. They’ve got a solid majority and 4 more years. They can do anything they want right now. Time to go big or go home, @teamlabouruk.bsky.social

It’s great that the Environment Agency has new rules to protect Atlantic Salmon in the River Camel, #Cornwall. Maybe they’d also like to talk to South West Water about all the shit they keep dumping in the Camel SSSI, which exists to protect wildlife, inluding salmon. www.bbc.com/news/article...
